As cozy season commences, there’s one non-negotiable rule when it comes to home decor: A burning seasonal candle (at all times, if possible). Enter Boy Smells, a fine fragrance and candle company that has revolutionized the modern aroma industry.

Boy Smells’ founders, Matthew Herman and David Kien had a goal to override gender norms in the fragrance industry by creating universally appealing scents, per the brand. It has quickly become an internet-loved spot for luxurious scents and tasteful packaging — and it’s a rarity when these products are discounted, which is why the website is at the top of our shopping list this holiday season.

If you’ve been looking for a gift that anyone will love (or something special for yourself) then you’re in luck. Boys Smells prides itself on a “genderful” take on fragrance and has an expansive lineup of clean, floral, woody, and earthy scents — a spectrum of smells for every type of scent preference. The best part, though, is that you can grab individual products, including best-selling fragrances and holiday candles, for 25 percent off until November 29.

LES Candle

Each Boy Smells candle features a natural blend of coconut and beeswax with a braided cotton wick. This LES candle is named after both the French plural word for masculine and feminine and Manhattan’s famed Lower East Side neighborhood. With extensive layered notes including fresh cedarwood and rose, this candle is sure to ignite love at first sniff. The clean scent mimics that of a luxury hotel lobby or a subtle bouquet of fruity flowers, courtesy of the blackcurrant and peach blossom elements. The standard 8.5-ounce has a 50-hour burn time for days of freshness, or opt for the three-wick mega size for 110 hours of burning.

Cameo Candle

The cameo candle is another classic from the Boy Smells’ sleek black and pink collection. This instantly recognizable, clean smell will become your home’s signature scent and cold-weather companion. Burn this wick to create an ambiance that smells both floral and spicy. The heady combination of rose, vanilla, and ginger is the perfect recipe for a fresh-yet-warm aroma.

Cashmere Kush Candle

If you want to give the gift of a fresh fragrance that is also aesthetically pleasing, the Cashmere Kush Candle should be at the top of your list. Selecting a candle scent can be overwhelming, but Cashmere Kush is a fluid aroma that fits any space. A member of the woody and botanical olfactive families, this candle will fill up any room with a musky and woody scent that emulates the warmth and comfort of a cashmere blanket.

Figurare Holiday Candle

Ring in the holiday cheer with the Boy Smells seasonal collection. This figurare candle features notes of fig, lavender, fir balsam, and cedarwood for ultimate earthy, festive smell. The standard holiday candles are selling out fast, but you can still grab the three-wick magnum sizes including Broken Rosary and Incensorial while they are still available. After all, what screams holidays more than a giant candle burning alongside your decor?
