We have a feeling this is going to sell out super fast.

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.

Quick overview

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. 

£99 at John Lewis

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.
