Boy Smells is a Los Angeles fragrance house built on what it calls genderful scent: notes traditionally read as masculine or feminine, mixed on purpose. Coco Cream is coconut milk, tiare and tonka bean; Sugar Baby is honeysuckle, waterlily and musk; Woodphoria is coconut water, fig leaf and sandalwood. The candles pour a non-GMO, soy-based vegan wax blend.
Trying one: the 10 ml travel spray is the way in, and the matching candle puts the same scent in the room. See Boy Smells eau de parfum and Boy Smells candles on their own, fragrance for Apothia, and candles for Nest and Glasshouse.
