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.

The initial cost may be hard to get over, but the scent is sophisticated and carries almost too well. Looks great too. Would recommend :)

I have an on again off again relationship with candles and Boy Smells has been a big catalyst for my most recent on again phase. Their candles have gorgeous and creative scents that linger even when they're not lit. The packaging is beautiful and I love keeping the jars when my candles are gone. They have a great burning time. They can be prone to tunneling so I made sure to do a full burn the very first time to make sure they burn better during their lifetime. I want to try a fragrance next.

The BEST smells. Amazing quality yet still affordable. They do awesome collabs and very modern scents that are relevant and clean. The design is simple and chic and they make the best gifts. I love the LES scent so much!!!!

Best smells ever!!!!! My favorite candle brand for the past 7 years. Every scent is transcending. Packaging is on point. My only complaint is I run through them too quick!!!! Can we extend the burn time on these??? I'm obsessed.

Bought the three Kush perfumes, and they're perfect. A fresh green for daytime, a smoky leather for nighttime, and a gentle musk for anything in between. Italian Kush is my favorite, but I'd blind buy these again in a heartbeat.

Really bad customer service. I ordered a candle which smelled amazing, until I lit it. It filled my whole house with the smell of baby power. Personally, not a fave of mine. When I contacted customer service about the problem, I received a short and snarky reply letting me know I couldn’t return it. So… I’d rather take my business elsewhere after that. For context- this happened about two years ago. Hopefully they revamped their customer service and return policy, but that’s what my experience was!

YES - i love these candles. I loved the LES one so much I ended up getting the jumbo size. the smell is unique and light. The regular sized candles do a great job of filling a room with scent, the jumbos obviously do best for big spaces, but the regular ones are fabulous as well. They burn pretty well and I always the simple design of the candle looks great in my apartment. Feels sleek and not like overly cheesy. Blends in as decor really

The only candles that fill my space but don't give me a headache -- which, as a headache girlie, is HUGE. Appreciate their scent POV which I feel has a quirky, left-of-center sex appeal that's timeless in its own fresh way. Impossible to pick a favorite.

Great scents, easier ways to smell like weed though.

I found this brand here and I decided to try it because of the good reviews, and so far, I like it a lot. Definitely the fragrances are exquisite

One of my favorite candle companies! The scents are prominent without being too strong or overpowering. They also burn in a very clean way and have never tunneled. I have purchased these many times and will continue to do so!

Just the best candles and scents on the market.

Cannot recommended Boy Smells enough. All of their scents are amazing, my absolute favorite product is the Cashmere Kush Candle. I have bought it 4 times and have also given it to my friends as gifts and they love it.
