Headless Horseman Candle

Q: How did you manage to balance the scent of cozy with the intense elements of the chase?

The Headless Horseman scent is a blend of the cozy and the chaotic. We used inviting notes of cool night air as the cozy opening, but quickly grounded it with the wildness of dark woods, and oakmoss to evoke the panic of Ichabod's nighttime ride through the woods.

Q: Is this a Halloween/Seasonal scent, or can it be enjoyed year-round?

While the Headless Horseman has strong autumnal notes, they are not the traditional or the expected for the season. The woodsy undertones of the forest and oakmoss, blended with the crisp cool night air make it a perfect scent for setting a spooky, nostalgic mood during any dark, cozy night, regardless of the season.

Scent Notes: Dark woods cloaked in shadow, earthy oakmoss clinging to the forest floor, and the sharp, chilling bite of crisp night air.

Spooky Scent Story:
The thunder of hooves echoes through the midnight forest, and the air grows colder with every passing second. The Headless Horseman captures the haunting essence of a moonlit ride through Sleepy Hollow—where the woods are alive with whispers, and the night air carries the promise of an encounter you’ll never forget. It’s a scent that lingers like a ghostly gallop, daring you to look over your shoulder.
