What Do Boy Smells Candles Actually Smell Like?
What started as an experiment in the kitchen of David Kien and Matthew Herman in 2015 has evolved into a fragrance brand to know about just six years. Both fashion veterans, David and Matthew wanted to take the gender out of fragrance entirely and focus on solely on delivering the mood and ambience described on the packaging. The result: some of the best candle scents we’ve ever come across.
Why We Love Boy Smells Candles
The best candle scents aren’t necessarily the ones that hit you as soon as you walk into a room, they’re the ones subtly create a vibe almost without you realising they’re there. This is what Boy Smells does so well. That’s not to say they’re not potent and won’t fill the room, but rather, they won’t overpower the room. Take Gardener, one of the bestselling Boy Smells candles, as an example. For us, it is the ideal kitchen scent. After two or three minutes, the room feels fresher and lighter with the help of tomato and citrus notes. Unwanted cooking smells are wafted away without the need for a heavy, heady scent. This isn’t a quality exclusive to the Gardener Scented Candle either, as our Boy Smells candle review will reveal…Our Boy Smells Candles Review

If You’re Craving A Fresh, Outdoorsy Scent
Lighting this citrus, petitgrain and honeysuckle infused candle is like taking a walk around a well-maintained walled garden in full summer’s bloom.

Cedar Stack Scented Candle, £44.00
If You’re In The Market For A Warm, Woody Scent…
Cedar chips, dried tobacco and white musk give this fragrance a nostalgic twist. It will take you back to early evenings on family camping holidays where you can smell the nearby woodland, and someone’s just lit the stove for dinner. Unsurprisingly, this is on the best candle list in terms of sales regardless of the time of year.
Boy Smells
Les Scented Candle, N/A
If You Prefer Fruity, Floral Scents…
A lot of fruity floral scents can be too sweet and overtly feminine. Boy Smells has kept Les firmly in the gender-neutral realms by pairing blackcurrant, Asian pear and peach blossom with cardamom and cedar. It is smooth, it is sophisticated, and it is another scent you’ll want to keep burning.
