Yahoo Lifestyle John Lewis's Scented Candle Advent Calendar makes a 'truly beautiful gift' for Christmas
A current bestseller, shoppers can't get enough of this alternative advent calendar.
We're pretty well-informed when it comes to advent calendars here at Yahoo UK. And for the most part, no design takes us by surprise, unless it's one we haven't seen before. Which is exactly what happened when we discovered John Lewis had launched a Scented Candle Advent Candle, filled with 12 of the retailer's best-selling candles and oils.
Inside there's 10 candles and two oil blends, each uniquely scented and perfect for gifting this Christmas.
Uncover a range of candles and oil blends from the likes of Neom, Aery, Skandinavisk and more in the lead-up to Christmas.
Packaged in a large cardboard advent box with 12 windows and a festive candelabra print on the front, expect to discover fragrances from popular brands like Neom, Aery, Skandinavisk and more.
Like the rest of John Lewis's in-demand advent calendars, this pick is proving immensely popular, and is a current bestseller, so don't hesitate to snag yours ahead of Christmas.
Candle styles we're convinced will go down well include Neom's Cosy Night Travel Candle (£20) that's scented with a rich blend of sandalwood, frankincense and nutmeg, that's ideal for Christmas.
As well as Skandinavisk's Hygge Scented Candle (£20) which has warming notes of black tea, mint leaves, dried apples and a dusting of baked cinnamon. This particular candle is rated highly by shoppers, with various reviews saying it burns well, smells great and makes the perfect gift.
Price-wise, the advent calendar costs £99 — so it is a little on the pricier side, but if you work out the value of each candle and oil blend, it's actually great value for money, and also makes gifting this Christmas a breeze. In just one purchase, you've got at least 10 different gifts.

What the reviews say
Reviews for John Lewis's Scented Candle Advent Calendar couldn't be more positive, with shoppers praising the overall concept as well as the cost, describing it as a "truly beautiful gift".
"Love the concept and the price point. I get a lot of joy from burning scented candles in the colder months, so have opened the first "drawer" already. There are enough items to keep me going through to the new year. Brilliant! Also a good way to work out if I want to buy any of the products in a larger size next year. Whoop!"
"Beautiful calendar with a lot of my favourite candle brands, I can't wait to start using it! Really good value for money too considering how many products you get inside."
"This 12 day candle collection is a gorgeous way to fill your house with the scents of Christmas and a relaxing ambiance. The combination of candles chosen has been carefully considered and excels in both quality and indulgence for the a cosy home. Fantastic idea John lewis, in a beautifully designed gift box."
"I bought this for my mum who I struggle to think of unique gifts for Christmas. This advent calendar comes in a beautiful casing with little drawers and each a magical surprise . I was so excited myself looking in the boxes I've ordered one for myself! Beautiful beautiful present for a loved one and the price really is unbelievable for the brands of products in it. One little add on which would be useful, perhaps a little box of 12 matches...no excuse then not to light the first one Christmas morning!"
