Boy Smells Spring Votive Set

What began as ‘an experiment in candle making’, quickly ignited the passions of those with a penchant for life’s finer things… The brainchild of two fashion veterans – Matthew Herman and David Kien – Boy Smells defies gender stereotypes and the brand, from design through to fragrance, successfully straddles the binary. Candles for every identity, Boy Smells blends typically ‘masculine’ scents with a medley of ‘feminine’ florals, resulting in candles that challenge traditional classifications and put a fresh, 21st Century spin on perfumery doctrine. Expect the unexpected…

Arriving just in time to help you fill your home with a trio of gorgeous new season scents comes the Spring Votive Set, combining minis of three of Boy Smells new arrivals (don’t worry, you’ll still get an impressive 18 hours of burn time out of these little lovelies!).

First, there’s Hackney Garden. Inspired by the area of Hackney — a cultural melting pot buried in the heart of the East End of London — this modern-yet-comforting take on florals (for spring? Groundbreaking…) combines refreshingly green ivy with herbaceous coriander seeds, clean and invigorating neroli bud and a burst of zesty orange peel. Next, you’ll find Damasque, a warm and inviting cocktail of brooding tobacco and deep apricot mingling together with traces of burnt spices and turkish rose, all elevated with subtle-yet-heady notes of oud. Finally, there’s Rosalita. Light this addictive floral scent and indulge in decadent rose petals, spicy Spanish saffron and rich leather accords with top notes of fruity, blackcurrant-inspired cassis, soft, woody cedarwood and warm, cosy amber.

All natural white coconut and beeswax blend with braided cotton wick.

For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.

For optimal burning, trim wicks to a ¼” before each light to avoid smoking and overheating. Once the flame is extinguished make sure the wick is upright and centred. The first burn of any candle should be long enough for the entire top layer of wax to liquify. This will ensure an even burn for each light. Refrain from burning candles longer than three hours at a time, and never burn a candle when there is less than ¼” of wax at the base. Always protect the surface on which the candle sits.
