Embers + Leather Candle (Vetiver + Cedar + Patchouli)
Embers + Leather is what happens when a campfire, a leather jacket, and a surprisingly well-curated bookshelf collide in a dimly lit room.
What It Is:
This 8 fl oz signature candle from Slow North marries smoky vetiver, rich cedar, and earthy patchouli into a scent that feels both rugged and intimate. Hand-poured in Austin, Texas using eco-friendly, non-toxic ingredients, it fills your space with warmth, depth, and a whisper of unexpected sophistication. It’s not just a candle—it’s the olfactory equivalent of a well-timed plot twist in an otherwise predictable day.
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Because it works harder than most decorative objects. Set it in your living room, office, or bedroom, and suddenly your space feels curated without the pretense. Unlike generic candles that fade into wallpaper, Embers + Leather commands attention, setting a mood that’s as contemplative as it is effortlessly cool.

About the brand: Slow North
Slow North started because someone—Michelle Simmons, in this case—got tired of candles that promised “ambiance” but delivered toxic chemicals and vague disappointment. What began as a personal quest in Austin, Texas, morphed into a full-fledged brand obsessed with doing it right: non-toxic, essential-oil-rich candles and natural therapy products designed to make you feel like your life is slightly more intentional than it actually is. Each product is handcrafted, minimal, and meticulously curated to create calm, focus, and maybe even the illusion that you’re living in a movie where the protagonist actually has their act together.
