BOY SMELLS

Candles from LA

BOY SMELLS

Some people buy perfume. I buy candles. And I am always on the look out for the perfect burn, matched with the perfect lasting fragrances. My favourite until recently were Le Labo, a Canadian brand you can find in Selfridges for their heavy lingering perfumes but more recently I have been buying Boy Smells. I was introduced to the brand in the Flannels sale when I picked one up for about £20 reduced from £37.

When you are shopping candles the most important thing I look at is the size or weight of the candle as this determines how long it will burn and thus value of the candle.

I like candles that burn evenly and don’t leave tons of wax waste around the container and Boy Smells burn like a charm, they leave nothing behind. I have been trimming the wicks and burning for a minimum of two hours. Lighting and then blowing out quickly will cause your candle to burn unevenly.

All the scents I have tried so far I have like, some are quite unusual, some more masculine, but the perfumes really hold and linger. Lovely, lovely product.

Boy Smells candles come in two sizes 85g which will give you about 20 hours burn and 240g which last me about two weeks lighting every day.

Good candles are very expensive so always check the weight. If you are looking for cheaper my recommendation would be White Company - burn nicely but you don’t get the powerful fragrance Boy Smells delivers.

Full biography

I am a hard working jewellery designer with a small business I promote through local fairs and trade shows. I love combining vermeil with precious stones to offer my customers something better and more unique than the more aspirational jewellery brands like Monica Vinader. I am lucky to have had some good press in Stylist magazine and a tiny mention in Vogue a few years back. I get to work from our beautiful Georgian townhouse which we struggled to buy 25 years ago and together with my husband (my parents call him that, we are not actually married) Ron, who works in film finance we have renovated and turned into the perfect haven for us. One day at Chelsea town hall maybe. A rockstar wedding maybe is on the cards, followed by the pub, always the Ship on Wandsworth bridge for us and then Bali I think. My dream vacation destination, somewhere I’ve never been and longed for flicking through my monthly Conde Nast Traveller subscription.
