Boy Smells Candles
This queer-owned brand has the best candles and they elevate any room they are put in. These candles are for those of us who want our homes to smell expensive on a budget.
My personal favorite is the Slow Burn candle which is a Boy Smells and Kacey Musgraves collab. It's spicy, floral and sexy!
SLOW BURN
Deeper Well is also from a collab with Kacey Musgraves. This candle is earthy, floral and clean.
