Sensuous, accessible and bright, Boy Smells’ hand-poured candles were conceived beyond the gender binary, designed to elevate your intimate world to make loving your identity a daily ritual. The Los Angeles-based brand was born in 2016 in the kitchen of co-founders and real-life partners Matthew Herman and David Kien. The duo formulate hand-poured candles in a hand-labelled and reusable glass vessel, made from natural oils, all-natural coconut wax and beeswax, celebrating and nourishing their inner identity via the art of intimate scent. “We wanted to have products that were embracing masculine and feminine simultaneously in a simple and straightforward way that wasn’t overtly targeted to one gender,” the founders say. “It’s a permission to harness your power from wherever you want it.”
