Boy Smells reinvented the fragrance industry when co-founders and partners Matthew Herman and David Kien started making candles in their kitchen—which don’t just smell and look incredible, but also challenge the gender binary. Now, the cult-favorite brand has branched out into underwear and wearable fragrance.

This week, Sheena joins Bobbi to talk about how she started Kosas by shipping four lipsticks from her basement, the one thing that keeps her up at night, and the simple ideas behind her innovative products, including tinted face oil and serum deodorant.
