Lavender + Cedar Candle

Lavender + Cedar is the olfactory equivalent of realizing you could turn your living room into a forest retreat without ever leaving your couch—or your email inbox.
 
What It Is:
This 8 oz signature candle blends the calming floral notes of lavender with the grounding, earthy presence of cedarwood to create a scent that’s both soothing and a little bit subversive. Hand-poured in Austin, Texas with eco-friendly soy wax, it turns ordinary spaces into contemplative environments where doing nothing suddenly feels intentional.
 
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Because most candles just smell nice. This one convinces you that your home could be a haven, even if your day has been entirely dominated by fluorescent lights and digital notifications. Lavender eases the tension, cedar roots you in reality, and together they make doing absolutely nothing feel like a performance of taste.

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.
