The PRIDE Radiance Collection by LGBTQIA+-owned brand, Boy Smells, celebrates the company's trademarked value "genderful." The brand acknowledges that everyone's full spectrum of self uniquely combines feminine and masculine aspects beyond the binary.
Five new scents are offered for this year's limited-edition collection of Radiance candles. The line includes Ambrosia, Dynast, Rosalita, Extra Vert, and Philia scents, all of which are housed in matte ecru vessels. The company opted for a subdued packaging to instill a "radical self-liberation" through the candles' metallic-hued glow.
In support of The Trevor Project, a crisis intervention and suicide prevention service for LGBTQ youth, Boy Smells is donating 10% of its proceeds from June to July to the organization and quadrupling its pledge from last year to the foundation.
