ALTHOUGH it’s only September, the heatwaves are already in the rear-view mirror, and beauty Advent calendars have already started selling out.
One calendar with a track record of being snapped up in record time (having done so for the last two years) is the limited-edition Sentier Fragrance Advent Calendar.

Straight off the bat, I fell in love with the calendar’s design, which features a wintery illustrated, removable sleeve.
Many beauty Advent calendars tend to be large and bulky, but this one comes in a compact, two-tier box with cleverly arranged drawers and pull-out shelves, which can be used year-round for make-up or jewellery.

The calendar covers 12 days rather than the full 24 and contains an even split of both fragrance and candles.
The selection of 60g candles offers something for everyone, from the spa-like, Elemis-style scents of Alpine Chalet and Land of Dreams to the sweeter, milkier Lait de Feu, which is exclusive to the calendar.
Whispering Spell has a clean scent, as does Botanical Sanctuary, while Ombre de Miel offers a more spice-based blend.
Fragrance-wise, the 10ml bottles are far more generous than the samples found in the brand’s five-star Discovery Set, which retails at £25.
These vials are ideal for travelling, slipping into your handbag or even taking to the gym.

Again, there’s a great variety of scents, with something for everyone, doubling up the calendar as a great Christmas gift idea also.
The fragrances featured include the bestselling Parisian Embrace, which is soft, light and easy to wear, as well as Balade in Autumn, which smells remarkably similar to the designer fragrance Baccarat Rouge.
For lovers of fruity scents, there’s Ardent Cherry or the more citrusy Path of Lemons, which has a summery citronella tinge and smells extremely fresh.
For those looking for cleaner scents, there are Meribel and Moor Riviera, both of which are alcohol-free.
RECOMMENDED STORIES
Based on the calendar’s individual retail value of £529, you can save more than £400 on the products’ combined worth and the code ADVENT10 can plummet the cost of the calendar even further to just £98.10.
The Verdict: Is the Sentier Fragrance Advent Calendar worth it?
From the luxury packaging to the array of both fragrances and candles inside, the Sentier Fragrance Advent Calendar is the perfect alternative to the usual advent countdown.
The combination of both fragrances and candles also makes the calendar more exciting and opens it up to home lovers and scent lovers alike.
Choosing a fragrance is personal and a lengthy process, so this is an easy way to try several perfumes before committing to larger scents blind.
