Boy Smells reviews and discussion

I like Boy Smells! I’m not a big candle-burning person but love to have some around the home for a cozier feel. I like their packaging and feel like it appeals to a younger, modern audience. As for their scents, I like how unique they are. Do I personally enjoy burning them? Not necessarily. Again, I’m not really a candle burning person so that makes a big difference but I find the scents to be quite strong, and I prefer something more low-key. I do think these make excellent housewarming gifts! I’ve given a few away and they’ve been well received.

I love Boy Smells candles - the packing they come in, the jars the candles are in - everything about this brand is a 10 out of 10 for me. Well - Okay that would mean I give this a five - my only complaint (and if i could use italics here that would be perfect) but my only complaint is I do wish the price point was just a little lower. But I understand small businesses also need to survive, and I support them in that - its also worth the money. The Kush line is my favorite by far - and Im really looking forward to testing other products than just the candle.

I used to love these candles. Amazing packaging, great smell. However my most recent experience was a little disappointing. I was burning my candle for a maybe an hour or two- when it suddenly exploded. The glass completely shattered and the wax went everywhere. It was really scary and dangerous. Customer service was very helpful and sent me a new one, however I am now just a little paranoid. Especially at the price point of these- I did not expect for that to happen. The smell however is amazing and I would be willing to give them another shot- under close supervision.

Beautiful candles with unique scents that burn well and have a great throw.

One of my favorite candle companies. Was drawn to Boy Smells because of their gorgeous packaging, and I had to give into the hype when I smelled Cameo IRL. SO GOOD. My home always smells like luxury when I'm lighting my Boy Smells candles. I love when I'm able to find them on sale too :-)

Cowboy Kush is my fav scent! Have purchased and gifted many. Great product!!

These candles smell so so good! Definitely high-quality, unique candles. One candle can fill a room with a nice fragrance without being overpowering. I like how pretty their packaging is, and haven't had issues with tunneling.

Really great smelling and unique candles

Love this candle it smells soo good

LOVE! pretty much every candle I've bought has been worth the price. The array of scents has expanded my palette and appreciation for candles

I have burned boy smells candles almost exclusively since I first started buying them many years ago. They burn for an extremely long time, they have incredibly even burning (no tunneling!) and they smell just so good. I love their aesthetic and I love that they're out and proudly supporting causes through smaller runs like their pride campaigns.

I tried the Petal scent and loved it - I don't think there was anything standout about the brand, but the packaging is cute and the scents are great!

I tried LES and it is OK but too intense for me.

These are really delightful candles. They smell great, they're good quality, and the branding is so cute. I love how it looks on the coffee table in my living room. They make great gifts! I've given a few.

Flor de la virgen Certainly smells nice, very reminiscent of a bath and body works scent as it would smell fantastic as a house scent as well. I know some people are turned of by that but not me. Clean laundry type scent.

I recently purchased their lavender scent candle and wow, it is amazing. It smells so luxurious and elevated that we only use it on very special occasions. The packaging and branding of it is very nice as well.

Boy Smells offers bold, gender-inclusive fragrances like Violet Ends, blending unexpected notes for a memorable experience. The brand’s commitment to inclusivity is refreshing, and their new scents like Rosy Cheeks are trendy, though some long-time fans miss the original vibe. Overall, Boy Smells is perfect for those seeking unique, statement-making scents!!

I’m a fan of good scents and candles, but I usually stick to buying discounted ones. Whenever I’ve splurged on a pricier candle in the past, it never felt worth the extra cost compared to a random find from Marshalls. But then I gave Boy Smells Hinoki Fantome a try, and wow, it’s on a whole different level! The scent is amazing—it fills my open-concept living and dining room perfectly, whether I’m burning it or using a candle warmer. I usually go for soy-based candles, but this blend of coconut and soy wax really makes a difference. The fragrance travels farther and lingers more than my usual picks. The scent itself is lightly sweet, earthy, and definitely not overpowering—when I first smelled it, I wasn’t sure, but once it started burning, it became subtle and really complex. I’ll definitely be buying this one again—I'm officially hooked!

If you’re looking for luxurious, bold scents and comfortable pieces that don’t conform to traditional gender norms, Boy Smells is definitely a brand you should check out. Their inclusive approach, paired with quality and attention to detail, makes them a standout in the world of fragrance and self-care.

i love the packaging and how cute these candles look in your room. they smell really good but they don't last that long which is a little frustrating for such pricey candles. overall i did like it though
