Some years back we stumbled upon Bill Crisafi’s illustrations and were immediately enamored with his work and the innate wit, whimsy and irreverence that makes them iconic and unforgettable. A tribute to the season, this is a collaboration between artists obsessed with autumn and its sensory magic. The fragrance evokes the magic of Bill's childhood memories of Massachusetts in the fall.

The Slut for October Candle captures the sinister curl of burning leaf piles, the brittle sigh of sun-scorched grass beneath your feet, and the ripe, bruised sweetness of apples abandoned to the orchard floor. Beneath it lingers the slow, decadent perfume of decay, a fragrance both dreadful and divine. This is not autumn as the living know it. This is October, unmasked, mischievous, depraved, and utterly irresistible.
Summon the season to stay forever. Strike a match, and October arrives instantly: mischievous, decadent, and utterly indecent. Forget pumpkin spice and polite scarves, this is autumn at its most indecent.
INSTRUCTIONS: Heretic candles are hand poured with soy wax and unleaded wicks. To prevent damage, make sure to trim the wick to ⅛ of an inch every time the candle is lit. Do not let it burn for more than 4 hours at a time and please place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. For the best candle performance, allow the wax pool to completely liquify, extinguish, and let cool.
PRECAUTIONS: Never leave a burning candle unattended or burning for more than 4 hours. Keep away from drafts, children, pets, and all flammable materials.

COZY & ATMOSPHERIC
The orchard sighs in breathless sleep, where shadows stretch and secrets keep. The apples hang like hearts grown cold, in twisting limbs of crimson gold.
Smoke slithers through the brittle air, a ghost of fire, faint and bare. The wind speaks low in hollow tones, a voice like leaves, a rust of bones.
The light is dim, the sky is bruised, the year worn soft, the veil now thin. In fall’s first hush, the dark things wake—they know the scent the apples make.
LABDANUM
Eases stress and keeps you grounded.
BLACK APPLE
Uplifts mood and de-stresses the mind.
JUNIPER SMOKE
Ensures you stay grounded, centered, and full of inner peace.
