[ Not shown ] is a figure we hold and are withholding. Not observed is one nobody here has recorded. Hover or focus either for the reason.

Burn hours are as stated by each maker, never measured by us. Where a shop publishes a different figure we record both and say so. “Not observed” means nobody here has ever recorded a price for that row. “Not shown” means we hold one and are withholding it, because its source page or its pricing basis was never recorded, and a sale price set against a list price produces a wrong answer from correct arithmetic. The reasons per row: Boy Smells Cowboy Kush — Price not shown — source not recorded; Cannabis — Price not shown — basis not established; Teakwood & Tobacco — Price not shown — basis not established; Brooklyn — Price not shown — basis not established.

How close each one gets

  • Cannabis

    MALIN+GOETZ

    The other cannabis accord in wide distribution, kept green by muguet and magnolia. Costs more per hour than the original.

    Where to buy

  • Teakwood & Tobacco

    P.F. Candle Co

    Leather and teak stand in for the suede, at roughly half the price. No cannabis note at all, so it is the base without the top.

    Where to buy

  • Brooklyn

    Brooklyn Candle Studio

    Leather and cassis over patchouli and wild sage. It shares the patchouli and the suede-adjacent leather, and reads as a cocktail bar rather than a plant.

Questions

What people ask about this scent

Is this the candle formerly sold as Kush?
Yes. Boy Smells now markets it as Cowboy Kush, and older listings and reviews for Kush refer to the same scent. We use the current name so the comparison matches what is actually on sale.
Does a cannabis candle smell like smoke?
No. These are green, resinous accords built to suggest the plant rather than anything burning. If you want smoke, the leather and birch tar candles are a different aisle.
