Be Excellent to each other
This isn’t your girlfriend’s candle collection. At Smells Like Gen X, our candles for men are built different—rugged, nostalgic, and unapologetically bold. These aren’t fruity florals or vanilla cupcakes in a jar. We’re talking musk, sandalwood, smoky woods, and a little something we like to call attitude.
Crafted with clean-burning soy wax and wood wicks that crackle like a campfire, each scent hits like a mixtape from your glory days. Whether you're into bourbon-soaked masculinity or backyard bonfire vibes, these candles don’t just smell good—they burn with purpose.
Masculine scented candleswith notes like leather, oak moss, vanilla, and teakwood
Long-lasting soy wax and wood wick candles that actually throw scent
Vibes that range from rock show grit to flannel-clad comfort
Zero BS. Just badass scent profiles for men who remember cassette tapes and cordless phones
Risky Business – A sexy, grown-up blend of vanilla, lavender, and musk. This one’s got bourbon-on-the-rocks energy.
Backyard Confidential – Think fresh-cut grass, sandalwood, and secrets that smell like summer. Masculine, musky, and made for mischief.
Flannel Feelings – A cozy mashup of mahogany teakwood, soft musk, and just enough edge to keep it interesting.
Bonfire Buzz – Smoldering woods, toasted marshmallow, and fire-roasted vanilla. Like crashing a party in the woods with your favorite hoodie on.
Classy AF – Clean, cool, and confident. Fern, aged woods, musk, and a splash of amber. Perfect for men who clean up nice but still play vinyl.
These candles aren’t trying to be trendy—they’re trying to remind you who you are. Strong. Sentimental. Scent-savvy. This collection is for the guys who still remember rewinding a cassette with a pencil and lighting matches just to watch them burn.
