Eucalyptus + Lavender Scented Soy Wax Candle

There’s nothing revolutionary about wax and wick, except when it makes your apartment smell like therapy without the awkward small talk.
 
What It Is:
Hand-poured in Austin, Texas, this eco-friendly soy candle fuses two cultural archetypes of relaxation: eucalyptus (the crisp scent that suggests “clarity” in every shampoo commercial you’ve ever ignored) and lavender (the olfactory shorthand for sleep, calm, and the idea of French countryside mornings that you will never actually experience). Together, they construct a temporary illusion of balance that feels weirdly necessary in a world where balance doesn’t actually exist.
 
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Because your brain is chaos and this candle pretends it isn’t. It’s perfect for unwinding after work, elevating a bath, or just convincing guests that your living room exists in a permanent state of intentional calm. Unlike synthetic sprays or plug-ins that scream “cover-up,” this candle burns with nuance—fresh eucalyptus on top, soothing lavender in the middle, grounded by a subtle woody base that feels less like fragrance and more like memory.

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.
