Inspired by Boy Smells’ rich LGBTQ+ history, the Essentials Line pays homage to our past Pride and limited-edition collections—both visually and olfactively. The line features eight candy-colored vessels and uses the same upgraded wax blend as the Classics, for even burns and bigger smells.

Dynasty Salt - A fresh, airy scent (when optimism is needed ASAP) / pink pepper, white t-shirt accord, clean musks

Herbaceous - An herbal delight for serious grounding / bergamont, wet grass, sage

Hard Wood - An elevated ode to leather and wood / pepper, leather, cedarwood

Lavendare - A floral, fresh scent for soft-launching your inner peace / lemon, lavender, vetiver 

Minty - So fresh. So green / ginger, wild mint, cedarwood 

Passion Pit - The fruits are flirting in this juicy scent / orange, passionfruit, blond woods

Rosalita - A rose-domme scent ready to start a little drama / tangerine, rose absolute, white leather 

So Vanilla - A soft, delicious gourmand that's ready to eat (please don't) / almond blossom, vanilla, golden amber

For the best burn experience, keep the following in mind:

• The first time you light your candle, allow it to burn until the wax pool melts all the way to the edge; for a larger candle, this may take several hours. Wax has "memory," so if it is extinguished with a partial pool, that will prevent a full, even pool from forming in the future.
• Trim your wick each time you light the candle, removing any "bloom" from the previous burn. We recommend lighting a wick that is 1/4-1/2" in length.
• Ensure that your candle is placed on a heat-safe surface.
• Do not allow wick trimmings, dust, or other materials to accumulate in the wax pool.
• To ensure safety and longevity, be sure to check the bottom of your candle for additional instructions, including details on when to discontinue use.

• 50-hour burn time
• Plant-based soy wax blend; lead-free candle wick made up of natural fibers with a paper core
