Laura

A campfire at the edge of a cherry orchard: sour cherry, warm smoke, and something you can’t quite place. Bright sour cherry darkens into saffron and warm florals, then a soft curl of woodsmoke. The perfume our guests hace returned for, year after year.

Last call · Retiring from the lineup

These scents have been burned, sprayed, gifted and so well loved in homes all over the country, and honestly, we'll miss them too. As Great Northern grows into a more focused, atmospheric fragrance house rooted in the Pacific Northwest, we're retiring them to make room for what's next. When the clock runs out, they leave the everyday lineup.

Gone Oct 26 at 4:31 pm PTAfter that, these scents leave the everyday lineup.

We know some of these are huge customer favorites, and that's exactly why this is hard. Retiring a scent isn't a verdict on it. Some of these may come back seasonally as limited pop-ups, but we can't promise when, so if one of them is yours, stock up now.

Everything is just a dream away

Pacific Northwest made and inspired.

Every candle begins somewhere real: falling water, distant trains, and the particular gold of forest light at dusk. Made in the Pacific Northwest, inspired by the places we never quite leave behind.
