An essential ingredient in turning other base metals (like mercury) into gold, the Philosopher’s Stone is also said to be the main ingredient in the elixir of life, granting immortality and cures to all illnesses to those who drink the potion. The Philosopher’s Stone basically does everything, from an alchemy standpoint, and is a symbol of perfection and pure bliss. It’s the grand crusade of all alchemists, to find and use the stone so they may have eternal life and endless riches. I mean, can you blame them? That sounds awesome.

Scent Notes: Rain beats on old, weathered cobblestones. A cup of your favorite hot mocha steams next to a bowl of black cherries and black currants. A sprig of wormwood sits, waiting.
