North Ave specialises in clever candles for literature lovers! The Banned Books Collection is a line of candles with scents inspired by books that have historically faced various bans and challenges. Candle comes in beautiful glass jar with a gift box labeled with details of when/why/where each book was banned and/or challenged.

Sea Salty Air book candle is inspired by Melville’s nautical adventure novel recounting sailor Ishmael’s narrative of Captain Ahab’s maniacal quest for revenge on the infamous white whale. A refreshing blend of an ocean breeze, blue lotus, marine ozone, and cooling eucalyptus, with notes of briny sea botanicals and hints of citrus. “I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.”

North Avenue Candles is a woman-owned + operated team– and each candle is handcrafted by life-long candle lovers in their Pittsburgh studio. They create each candle using old fashioned methods and premium ingredients, taking care that everything produced has an eco-friendly focus. Only the finest fragrance oils and natural waxes and wicks are used. Then they are hand-poured into small batches after meticulous testing to ensure that each candle is fragrant and clean burning.
