CHOSEN FAMILY

This LGBT+ History Month, we’ve decided to highlight a love purer than any Valentine's date ever was. The unspoken cement of queer life:

The friendships that act as lifelines.

The chosen family that shows up when blood doesn’t.

The people who stick around when life feels uncomfortable and hope has run out.

GOOD BOI was born from that exact rock bottom. In the wobble of 2023, when our mental state reached its all-time low, GOOD BOI began as a way for us to hold on to something joyful, something playful and exciting. Something shared. We didn’t have much then, but we had each other. And that was enough to spark the match.

That spirit still keeps us warm today. GOOD BOI has remained an unequivocally queer brand, stirring up heat against all odds, celebrating body euphoria and the small, delicious freedoms of living under the rainbow, even on a rainy day... 

From messy kitchen trials to becoming the official candle of Queer Britain, this has always been about people. Those we met, those who bought, those who posed, engaged, encouraged, and shared.

So this month, we’re celebrating YOU and your loved ones. We’re blending two of our most-loved candles in a special archival re-issue:  the ultimate spiced citrus, stimulating, familiar, and unthreateningly powerful.

It’s the scent that carried us through pours squeezed around other jobs. Through tight turnarounds, impossible requirements, postal scam attempts and arbitrary shadow bans. Through explaining ourselves twice, then again, and again. Through being underestimated, scrutinised, politely side-lined and rejected. 

This scent holds the laughter that made it bearable, the chats on the sofa after never-ending days, the moments of doubts, and the gymnastics of making something work when the system isn’t built with you in mind. 

So, this is a bit of us, for you. For your friends. Your chosen family. Your partners in crime who make you feel beautiful and indestructible when the rest of the world is telling you to keep quiet and be grateful for conditional tolerance.
