From deep woods to dark waters, New England has always been home to things that go bump in the night—and now they smell incredible. This haunting trio of candles brings local legends to life, each inspired by a different cryptid whispered about in regional folklore. Whether it’s the eerie glow of the Dover Demon, the cosmic dread of Cthulhu, or the mischievous menace of the Puckwudgie, these scents are anything but human.
Light one if you dare—
Dover Demon
Spotted once. Never forgotten. This candle channels the chilly mystery of Massachusetts’ most elusive cryptid with a clean, wintry blend of white birch and Fraser fir. It’s like breathing in deep in the middle of the woods—and realizing you’re not alone.
Puckwudgie
Don’t let the tiny size fool you—these tricksters pack a punch. Inspired by the mischievous forest spirits of Wampanoag legend, Puckwudgie smells like damp moss, wild mushrooms, and ancient oaks tangled in secrets. Earthy amber lingers like the memory of something watching you from the underbrush.
Cthulhu
From the depths of the sea and the corners of your nightmares comes a scent both chilling and divine. Cthulhu blends cold stone and sea salt into a stormy, oceanic aroma that smells like shipwrecks, forgotten ruins, and something waking up beneath the waves. Light it—and pray he stays sleeping.
