Smells Like:Smoky Incense
Inspired By:Edgar Allan Poe
The scent of dread… slow and swinging.
Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s tale of terror and time, Pit and the Pendulum fills the air with smoky incense—evoking ancient stone walls, flickering torches, and the slow, silent descent of something inevitable. It’s rich, meditative, and deeply unsettling.
Hand-poured with a natural coconut wax blend and phthalate-free fragrance oils, this candle brings gothic tension and literary horror into your space—perfect for slow burns, candlelit reads, or simply honoring the master of suspense himself.
