Sandalwood, Earthen Oak & Frankincense
The Earth & Wood of a Freshly Dug Grave
The earth remembers everything.
Inspired by the scent of a freshly dug grave, Grave Dirt blends sandalwood, earthen oak, and a hint of frankincense for a rich, grounded aroma. It’s earthy, sacred, and haunting—like the air above ancient soil and shadowed tombstones.
Hand-poured with a natural coconut wax blend and phthalate-free fragrance oils, this candle brings the quiet weight of the graveyard into your space. Perfect for lovers of gothic atmosphere, ritual spaces, or those who find peace in the stillness of the earth.
