ABOUT NORTH

What is North?

 North is a grounding aromatherapy spray crafted with five pure botanicals — Lavender, Cypress, Black Spruce, Vetiver, and Rose Water. It's designed to be used on your body, in your space, and throughout your day as a simple sensory ritual that invites calm and presence into real life moments.

What does North smell like?

North is earthy, woodsy, and softly floral — like a deep breath in a quiet forest after rain. The cypress, black spruce, and vetiver give her a grounded, forest-floor depth while the lavender and rose water keep the blend soft, balanced, and gently uplifting. She's not perfumey, not synthetic, and not overpowering. Customers describe her as subtle, grounding, and uniquely beautiful.

What is the Four Directions collection?

 North is the first in a four-part collection of Directional Spirit Mists — each one inspired by the wisdom of the Four Directions. North represents Earth, grounding, and stillness. East, South, and West are currently in development. Follow along at @TheRootedExperience to be first to know when they launch.

Who is North for?

North is for anyone who wants a simple, natural way to create moments of calm in their everyday life. She's especially loved by women navigating busy days, practitioners who use her in yoga, sound healing, reiki, and breathwork sessions, and anyone who appreciates the ritual of intentional self-care.

USING NORTH

How do I use North?

Shake well before each use. Then mist onto your body, into the air around you, on your linens, or into your shower steam. Take a slow breath and let the botanicals do their work. That's it. No elaborate ritual required.

Can I use North directly on my skin?

Yes — North is gentle enough for skin use. Spray on your wrists, neck, chest, or anywhere you'd apply a body mist. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test first.

How long does the scent last?

Scent longevity varies depending on the surface, ventilation, and how many sprays you use. On skin and soft surfaces like pillows and linens — expect 20-60 minutes of noticeable scent. As an air mist in a room — shorter, depending on airflow. North is designed as a ritual cue rather than a long-lasting fragrance — a few sprays throughout the day is part of the practice.

What are the best ways to use North?

Our favorites: mist into your shower steam before stepping in, spray around your couch before settling in for the evening, spritz in your car between errands, use as a pillow mist before bed, or mist your hands and cup them over your face for one slow breath before a stressful moment.

Can I use North around children or pets?

North is formulated with pure essential oils in a gentle rose water base and is free from synthetic chemicals, alcohol, and harsh additives. Many customers use North in homes with children and pets without issue. As with any essential oil product, we recommend keeping it out of reach of little ones. If you have specific sensitivities or concerns, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider or veterinarian.

Can I use North during pregnancy?

Some essential oils are not recommended during pregnancy. We always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before using any essential oil products during pregnancy or while nursing.

 Every botanical in North was chosen for quality and origin. Lavender and Rose Water come from Bulgaria's renowned growing valleys. Cypress comes from the ancient groves of Spain.
