Pine Needles & Earth
A Cautionary Tale of A Scary Semetery
Some things should stay buried.
Inspired by a cautionary tale of a very scary cemetery, Sometimes Dead is Better captures the eerie stillness of woods and soil long undisturbed. With a blend of pine needles and earth, this scent is fresh, mossy, and unsettling in all the right ways.
Hand-poured with a natural coconut wax blend, this candle adds a ghostly, grounded presence to your space—perfect for fans of the macabre, the mournful, and the things that just won’t stay dead.
Hauntingly handmade with:
- Sustainable coconut wax blend (beeswax added in summer).
- Lead/zinc-free cotton or wood wicks.
- Phthalate-free fragrance oils.
- Frosted, colored, clear glass jars, or black aluminum tins.
