History

Boy Smells describes itself as a queer-owned and operated fragrance house based in Los Angeles. The brand states that it is rooted in genderfulness and that its mission is to craft an ever-evolving collection of perfumes and home fragrances. It references a transition from the height of Millennialism to a new era in 2025, and describes a reformulation effort called Boy Smells 2.0 in which it continued to work with the same fragrance houses and high-quality ingredients, redistributing concentrations of notes for a more balanced wear, with the exception of Hinoki Fantôme, which was updated to smell exactly like its all-time best-selling candle with the same name.
