Boy Smells earns largely positive reviews for richly unique, room‑filling scents—standouts include Hinoki Fantôme, Cashmere Kush, Cowboy Kush, Cedar Stack, LES, and Slow Burn—and sleek, giftable packaging. Reviews also flag inconsistencies: tunneling and uneven burns, occasional weak throw or over‑potent scents depending on fragrance, sooting/smoky snuff‑outs, rare vessel defects, and mixed longevity in perfumes, making scent selection and burn care essential.

Great Idea for a candle. These are long lasting and smell amazinggg
Hinoke Fantom is my fave scent from Boy Smells. The candle is so beautiful, the burn time is great too. I just wish they were so expensive! I get through them too fast to always be repurchasing, but it’s really nice when I have this cancel in my home.
Favorite candles. Have bought them as gifts and received. Great branding and smell!
Oh my god these perfumes!!!! I’ve never smelled anything like them. I got a discovery pack from a friend and ran through them all quickly. Personally, the Hinoki Fantome is my favorite and I’m going to buy the full size soon as it may become my signature scent.
I adore my Boy Smells LES candle, my only complaint is the price point! If these candles were a little more affordable, I would own a thousand, but I like buying them every once in a while as a little gift (for myself or others).

Scents are hit or miss and tend to be floral-leaning. Candles burn super well and have good throw. Their underwear is actually also really comfortable.
I'm obsessed with Boy Smells candles. They're the only candles I have that actually scent the whole room. The packaging is very cute, each package comes with a pack of Boy Smells matches. The Kacey Musgraves Golden Hour candle smells so good it's illegal. There are definitely a few scents that I don't vibe with, but hey! Not everything is for everyone. Also, please bring back Apium!
smells great and burns low + makes the perfect gift!
This is a perfect gift. It smells good and it looks classy. It will look good at any room once properly styled.
Great design and smell.I have had a few of these and highly recommend
Boy smells is a great candle brand. SO well designed, so many scents and lasts a while when burning. The only thing I will say is that the candles are pricy and for that price, regardless of how long the burn goes, it feels like they are gone too fast. The candles packaging and fragrances do come off as high quality though so in the end, its worth it!
candles last so long and the scent fills a room (unlike some candles who do not smell at all when burned)
Eh smells
I'm always really surprised by these scents. I feel like they are very unique and you can pick then out of a line up of a million similar scents. Really great at filling a room too but never too cloying.
I have only ever tried the candles, but they smell delicious and have the most creative labels! I think they are a bit on the pricier side, but make a cute gift.

I adore this brand and their approach to gender expression in perfumery. The discovery set is lovely. I bought two full sizes after getting it. I'd love it if they'd make smaller more affordable candles - the scents look amazing but they're $$$
The Magnolia Bakery x Boy Smells candle is perfection. Will buy more from Boy Smells!
