The production company is known for knocking the latest indie films out of the park. While A24 has released successful merch in the past, the company’s latest addition has fans scratching their heads in amusement.

Now, fans can sit back, relax, put on Hereditary and smell all of the enticing aromas that come from one of the most unsettling films of the past decade.

The candles come in several genres: Horror, Westerns, Thriller, Noir, Musicals and Adventure. According to A24’s website, here is what each of the scents emulate:

Horror:

Notes: mandarin, clove leaf, cypress, suede, cinnamon bark
Inspiration: fangs, glowing eyes, remote lakeside cabins, foreboding shadows on walls, bloody knives, low-angle staircase shots, dilapidated houses silhouetted on a hill, black cats

Western:

Notes: fir needle, eucalyptus, saddle leather, firewood, bourbon vanilla, sweet balsam
Inspiration: boot spurs, campfires, wanted posters, saloon doors, bloody arrows, horses, saddles, guns in (or out of) holsters, whiskey glasses on a bar, men walking into sunsets

Noir:

Notes: wild honey, lemon, concrete, amber, jasmine, vetiver
Inspiration: sheets of rain hitting pavement at night, a name stenciled on a frosted glass door, Lucky Strikes, face-obscuring hats, tape recorders, significant glances, typewriters, the lingering scent of a woman

Musicals:

Notes: fig leaf, muskmelon, pink pepper, rainwater, magnolia, lily of the valley
Inspiration: lamp posts, top hats, pianos, snapping fingers, women dancing in concentric circles, tuxedoed men moving in sync, tap shoes, a black cane with a white tip, giggling around a telephone
