Smells Like:Oak Floorboards & Tobacco
Inspired By:Edgar Allan Poe
Still beating. Still watching.
Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s iconic tale of guilt and madness, The Tell-Tale Heart blends aged oak floorboards and smoky tobacco for a dark, vintage aroma. It’s rich, tense, and steeped in paranoia—like the scent of secrets buried beneath the floor.
Hand-poured with a natural coconut wax blend and phthalate-free fragrance oils, this candle brings literary dread and gothic atmosphere into your space. Perfect for Poe fans, dark academia aesthetics, or those who know that the heart never lies still.
