Country artist Kacey Musgraves has partnered with Boy Smells to launch Slow Burn, a scented candle named after the first song on her new album.

Kacey Musgraves and Boy Smells have released a new scented candle, Slow Burn, which correlates with the name of the first track on her fourth studio album Golden Hour. The lyrics and music focus on living life in the slow lane, ergo the song’s name.

Slow Burn’s scent consists of incense, black pepper, elemi, guaiac, raspberry, tonka, amber and smoked papyrus.

The candle, which retails for $39, features a dyed coconut and beeswax braided cotton wick and is held in a matte gradient glass tumbler with a metallic rose gold label.

It is packaged in an embossed matte gradient carton, 8.5 ounces and 3.4 inches tall, which also features a metallic rose gold label.

“Glowing and dark—incense, black pepper, and guaiac wood take center stage with whiffs of embers in the distance,” said Kacey Musgraves. “A little dank, a little crisp: accords of smoked papyrus and amber add an earthy expensiveness. Commanding, but not in a hurry, like the last sips of a Negroni at the bar down the street, expressed through hints of elemi and tonka bean. The ‘scentiment’ of Slow Burn is about pausing along the way to relax and enjoy exactly where you are right now.”
