Couronne de l'Avent | Parfum d'ambiance

The spicy warmth of the cinnamon leaf really comes through the moment you open the box, and the bitter orange keeps it from feeling too heavy. I’ve been burning it in the hallway for a week and the whole entryway smells like a proper Christmas market, not like a candle at all.

I lit this on the first Sunday of Advent and the whole living room immediately smelled like a proper Christmas market, that cinnamon and nutmeg combo is spot on. The bitter orange keeps it from being too sweet, so it doesn't get cloying after a couple of hours.

The scent is warm and festive without being overpowering—the cinnamon and nutmeg really come through, and the bitter orange adds a nice brightness. I lit it for an afternoon and the whole living room smelled like Christmas baking for hours.
