In late 2015, Boy Smells began as an experiment in candle-making in the Los Angeles kitchen of co-founders and partners Matthew Herman and David Kien. Herman and Kien – both fashion veterans who worked in design (Herman) and product development (Kien) – began by making the things they’d want to use on a daily basis, products that were fluid, essential, but also accessible.
At the end of 2017, Boy Smells launched, Unmentionables their first collection of intimate apparel, a new direction in the brand’s study of closeness.
2021 and 2022 are also big milestones for the brand, moving beyond fragrance for the home space and into the sphere of fine fragrance and body care.
Boy Smells is currently carried in over 750 retail locations (300 in the US alone), across 35 countries on 6 continents. Big strides.
