Step into the hazy atmosphere of a 1932 Mississippi Delta juke joint with Smokestack, our candle inspired by Ryan Coogler's genre-defying vampire film Sinners.
Named for the twin brothers at the heart of the story—Elijah "Smoke" and Elias "Stack" Moore, this scent captures the atmospheric intensity of their fateful juke joint on opening night. When Michael B. Jordan's characters return home from Chicago to start fresh, they bring with them dreams of freedom and the blues music that can pierce the veil between past and future.
The scent opens with the unmistakable atmosphere of a hazy juke joint, where aged wood mingles with lingering tobacco smoke and the ghosts of whiskey spilled on worn floorboards. Dry, unlit tobacco leaf adds a timeless depth—slightly sweet, slightly spicy, rich with the promise of the evening ahead. The sharp metallic tang of guitar strings recalls fingers sliding across frets, building tension before the first note breaks the silence. Herbs, roots, earth, and incense evoke the protective mojo bags that couldn't quite keep evil at bay. The dry, weathered wood of wooden nickels rounds out the scent, and together it all tells the story about value, trust, and what counts when the night turns dangerous.
Coogler's film blends Southern Gothic horror with the transcendent power of blues music, shot on IMAX 65mm film to capture every shadow and note. Smokestack translates that same atmosphere into scent: the moment before everything changes, when music fills the air and anything seems possible.
