The Elixir of Life: It's a Wonder Cure! Try it now to cure disease, smooth wrinkles, remove stains, double your tax return, and prolong life!

An elixir is purported to be a magical potion capable of extending life, curing common ailments, or any number of miraculous claims. Many patent medicines used poppy, or opium, as the main ingredient. While it definitely won’t extend your life, opium poppy is one of the very first medicinal compounds ever isolated in pure form.

North Avenue Candle's Elixir candle has top notes of pomegranate and orange, mid-notes of cherry blossoms and opium poppies, and is rounded out with a blend of black peppercorn, cardamom, and coca. This transportive scent is poured into vintage amber glass apothecary jar with a lovely old-time label.

And sure, while this candle's miracle claims are obviously made in jest, its style and scent is indeed reminiscent of apothecary potions of yore. Pleasant aromas are the only genuine claims the alchemists behind these candles make!

North Avenue Candles is a women- and LGBQT-owned and operated artisan candle company based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their focus is an eco-friendly one using only the best ingredients. Each candle is poured by hand.
