Of The Sea Candle (Eucalyptus + Lavender + Peppermint)
Of The Sea is the olfactory equivalent of realizing your apartment could feel like a windswept beach if only someone had thought to bring the ocean indoors.
What It Is:
This 8 oz signature candle fuses crisp eucalyptus, calming lavender, and a cool hint of peppermint into a scent that’s simultaneously refreshing, grounding, and a little bit rebellious. Hand-poured in Austin, Texas with eco-friendly soy wax, it transforms ordinary rooms into spaces that feel deliberate, curated, and vaguely cinematic. Think coastal air without sand in your socks or the need for a plane ticket.
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Because most candles just fill a room with pleasant smells. This one convinces you you’re capable of reflection, even if all you’re actually doing is scrolling through emails. Eucalyptus energizes, lavender soothes, and peppermint snaps you awake, making every inhale feel like a small, well-timed life lesson.

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.
