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.

Loves the burning time and throw!

Too strong, not natural at all
Such amazing smells! My favourite is rhubarb smoke!
I've been burning the same Boy Smells candle for longer than I can begin to say. These candles melt so evenly and slowly, I really feel like I'm getting my money's worth. The collab candle with Kacey Musgraves is my personal favorite - such a unique and beautiful scent!
My go-to candle brand. Was a huge fan from the start, but the Slow Burn by Kacey Musgraves has become my favorite candle ever. I fully buy multiple magnum-sized candles of that particular scent. They fill an entire room. Some people claim the smell is "overwhelming" but I disagree - I think you can just actually smell it. Plus the scents linger. I love the Kush line and there was a scent named De Nimes that was outstanding but I think they discounted sadly. In terms of price, they are not cheap Bath and Bodyworks or Yankee Candle stuff... but they are not ROBBING you like some of these newer luxury brands with truly insane pricing and less efficacious candles.
I’ve tried their candles before and have actually been pretty disappointed. I could only smell it if I was like a foot away from the candle, I feel like there was no throw to the scent. It also burned super unevenly even when I let it be for 3 hours on the first burn. Very unimpressed.
Super cute packaging, nice variety of scents! I found that my Hinoki candle left a black mark on my white paint on the wall, which was a huge bummer when I moved out and my apartment charged me a fee to repaint the wall. Might have been placement/ my fault but something to think about! Smells are super strong, definitely more fragrance than other brands. Overall I like but I have other candles I like a bit more!
Smelled better in store
Nice smelling candles and nice vessels. They are pretty without being too girly. They give. off a pleasant scent without being over bearing. I burned a few of the 2023 holiday line recently and they were festive without being too expected.
Forget your boring lavender and vanilla candles. Boy Smells plunges you into a world of unexpected accords, drawing inspiration from everything from smoky libraries to cowboy campfires. Each scent tells a story, transporting you to a specific mood or memory. I'm talking Petunia, a nostalgic whiff of grandma's garden, or Kush, a heady green dream reminiscent of forbidden pleasures.
Love the branding, love the smell. The scents are strong and linger in a space.

I love every scent from Boy Smells! Each candle is so unique, and I always get compliments from others when I burn one in my home. My favorite is the collab they did with Kacey Musgraves called "Slow Burn" -- you don't need to be a country music lover to enjoy it but it does pair well with a listen through of Golden Hour :)
Love the different smells and they are long lasting. I have the small ones and even those fill the whole room.
I really wanted to LOVE Boy Smells as their branding, look and fragrance notes spoke to me, but it just didn't hit. I tried the perfume sampler pack and just didn't like the way it sat on the skin, and it didn't last. As far as the smell, they smelled ok, but not as potent as their candles. The one product I really enjoyed was the Cowboy Kush candle. I loved the look and the smell, but the one downfall was I felt the candle burned too fast compared to other candle brands I have tried.
I'm going to be honest... i do not own a Boy Smells candle... BUT!!! LISTEN! every time I am at the mall I head to the boy smells section at Hudsons bay and i'm literally addicted and obsessed and in 2024 I have made it my goal to get myself a boy smells candle. so if you're trying to figure out if these smell good YES THEY SMELL GOOD. the Les one will be in my home this year mark my words.
I’ve bought these for friends as gifts! Super fun packaging.
Such a good gift!!! The best smells and such cute oackaging. Nice to have a luxury feeling candle that doesn’t totally break the bank.
Their candles have a really strong scent which is a good thing, assuming you love the scent! Their scents are unique and the aesthetic is cool so they also make a good gift
