We're Definitely Alright With Kacey Musgraves' New 'Slow Burn'
By Jeena Sharma
Feb 06, 2020In its first collaboration with a musical artist ever, LA-based Boy Smells has partnered with Kacey Musgraves for a limited edition candle. Slow Burn — inspired by the opening track from her fourth studio album, Golden Hour — also marks the singer's first ever major brand collaboration.
Featuring notes of black pepper, elemi, guaiac, raspberry, tonka, amber and smoked papyrus, the gender fluid label describes the scent as "a bright but smokey incense-driven accord that encourages being present in the moment and noticing the vibration."
Interestingly, the partnership came to fruition after Musgraves, a longtime fan of Boy Smells, sent them an Instagram DM expressing her appreciation for their best-selling scent KUSH.
The result? A Musgraves-inspired product that "embodies the reflective, self-assured narrative mirrored in her music."
"Commanding, but not in a hurry, like the last sips of a Negroni at the bar down the street, expressed through hints of elemi and tonka bean," Musgraves explains. "The 'scentiment' of Slow Burn is about pausing along the way to relax and enjoy exactly where you are right now."
Slow Burn will retail for $39.00 and be available exclusively on BoySmells.com and KaceyMusgraves.com.
