Viral fragrance brand Boy Smells’ (which makes some of our favorite scented candles in the game) is launching their second collaboration with Grammy-award winning artist Kacey Musgraves, which aims to be a “sound-to-scent ode to your inner nature.”

Available exclusively on BoySmells.com and kaceymusgraves.com starting Feb. 23, the “Deeper Well” candle is inspired by Kacey’s lyrics and themes in the upcoming namesake album. The fresh collection comes off the heels of Musgraves and Boy Smells’ first best-selling “Slow Burn” candle, a spicy, smoky scent which helped spark a wave of celebrity candles in 2020.

“It’s airy but grounded. Sky and dirt. Foreign but home. The divine feminine. The peaceful masculine. An examination of what you make room for. What fills your soul. A hug from someone you’ve missed. It’s the growing roots in your garden; a symbol of your ruthless reaching for something better,” Musgraves describes the candle on the Boy Smells site. “Deeper Well is being brave enough to leave the shallow in search of wiser waters.”

The “Deeper Well” candle itself is a rich scentscape of earthy-gourmand notes: mushroom, beetroot, oakmoss, and damp patchouli to symbolize a “return to roots”, and top notes of eucalyptus, raspberry, and lavender to bring a soft, fresh vitality. It’s made from a coconut and beeswax blend with a braided cotton wick, and comes in a sleek matte gradient glass tumbler with metallic “gold” and white text. You’ll get a roughly 50 hour burn time, longer enough to spin up Musgraves new album a few times after you spark the candle.

Much like the candle, Musgraves describes the Deeper Well album, which drops on March 15, as “one that inspires cultivating your inner garden.” “This new album is an honest excavation of my own transformation the last few years,” she says in a press release. “I’m emerging more centered, grounded, and trusting of myself than ever — and I knew that I wanted to create a multi-sensorial experience that cultivates self-discovery and our connection to the natural world. Working with Boy Smells is always a joy — and I truly adore the care, sensitivity, and thought that Matthew [Herman, Boy Smells Co-Founder] brings to the process.”

According to the brand, just like in her music, Musgraves was involved in every detail of the fragrance, even down to the packaging, dedicated involvement. If you’re looking to get your hands on Musgraves and Boy Smells’ latest sound-to-scent interpretation, you should act fact — when the “Slow Burn” candle launched in 2020, it would continuously sell out. That’s why Boy Smells is also offering a bundle of the “Iconic Duo” with both candles from the Musgraves collection for $99 righ tnow.

The “Deeper Well” candle is available on BoySmells.com starting today, and will launch in retail stores worldwide, including Sephora.com, SpaceNK and Nordstrom, in April 2024. Get your Kacey Musgraves candle here.
