Couronne de l'Avent | Mini doftljus

The bitter orange comes through first, then the cinnamon and nutmeg settle in — it genuinely smells like mulled wine simmering on the stove. I've been burning it during my Sunday baking and the whole flat smells like early December.

I light it on the mantel and the cinnamon leaf and nutmeg make the whole room smell like mulled wine without being sickly sweet. Burn time is decent for a mini and there's barely any wax tunneling.

The bitter orange hits first, then the cinnamon and nutmeg settle in, and honestly it smells exactly like mulled wine simmering on the stove. It's a small candle, so I'm rationing it — but the scent fills my whole living room even unlit.
