August Candle
Late summer in the garden, when the vines are heavy with fruit and the air is thick with green.
Our August candle captures the living scent of tomato leaves warming in the sun. Geranium adds a bright floral edge, while cool peppermint drifts through the greenery like shade on a hot afternoon.
Grounded by thyme and warm earth, the August Candle settles into something unmistakably seasonal - fresh, green, and alive.
A fleeting moment of summer, best-selling year round - held in scent.
August Candle notes below:
Which size should I choose? +
4 oz | 118 mL: a sweet way to try a new scent, and great for bathrooms and desks. 8 oz | 237 mL: the everyday favorite for bedrooms and offices. 16 oz | 473 mL: made for living rooms and open spaces, and the best value per ounce.
How do I get the best burn? +
On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge (about 1 hour per inch of width). This prevents tunneling and gives you the strongest scent throw. Trim the wick before every burn (about 1/8 inch for our wood wicks), and burn no more than 4 hours at a time.
What's the free mystery sample? +
Every order of $65 or more gets a surprise sample, hand-picked by us from our fragrance library. You don't choose it. That's half the fun, and it's how many customers find their next favorite.
Shipping +
Every order is made by hand in and shipped from the West Hills of Portland, OR. Current processing time is 4–5 business days (Mon–Fri) before your order ships.
For homebodies who want a cedar-and-gold Northern evening without leaving the couch
Great Northern Candle Co. is built so tonight’s living room can feel like rain on cedar, not another aisle of unnamed wax. Light a candle, melt a tin, or mist the room—then stay put while the North settles in.
Named for Cascadia places
Hemlock Falls, La Push, Conservatory, Greenhouse Goddess—houses with geography, so the mood has a map.
Light it, melt it, mist it
Candles, wax melts, and room perfume so the same forest story can fill a porch, a window seat, or a slow night in.
A ritual, not a category
The North as something you do after the door closes—gold glow, wet cedar air, couch still warm from the day outside.
Hemlock Falls & La Push
Moss, surf, and rain-window evenings—the Forks-to-coast houses for porches and slow weather.
Conservatory & Greenhouse Goddess
Glass, greenery, and indoor summer—La Maison de l'Été, August, and plant-house moods for bright rooms.
Cascadia, Larch & San Juan
Mountain and island houses—Willow, Figgy Stardust, Sword and Fir—easy to gift because the place is the story.
Why a Cascadia house beats a nameless jar
Collection-driven PNW naming versus unnamed mass-market fragrance—candles, melts, perfume, and layers that share one story.

Where do you ship?
Orders go internationally, including destinations such as the US, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, and Italy, plus additional listed countries. Check the cart for your address.
How fast will it arrive?
Checkout shows receive-by timing and country flags for the route. We do not invent a clock here—use the date on the product form.
Candle, melt, or mist—what’s the difference?
Candles and wax melts hold a room; body mist and room perfume travel lighter. Pick the same collection so the house stays consistent from tin to spray.
Can I mix collections in one order?
Yes. Many shoppers pair a forest house for evenings with a greenhouse or summer house for daytime rooms.
Do you only sell scent?
No. Hoodies, sweatshirts, tees, bags, mugs, and prints sit in the same collection stories as the wax.
Is apparel sized like a souvenir shop?
Choose the garment listing for fit notes. Wearables are cozy layers meant to match the house you already burn—not a separate fashion drop.
A named house, not a mystery bottle
You choose a Cascadia collection and a format you can picture in the room—candle, melt, mist, or a layer to wear. That is a low-stress way to bring the woods indoors, even when you cannot smell it first.
Every listing sits in a named house—Hemlock Falls, Cascadia, Conservatory, and the rest—so you shop a story, not a blank jar.
Match format to the space: burn, melt, mist, or wear. International checkout shows the countries we already serve.
