There are many ways to count down to Christmas, but none quite like this. Our Advent Candle has become a December ritual, a small, glowing moment of calm and wonder that makes the season feel complete.
It has sold out four years in a row and for good reason: once lit, you’ll never want to do December without it again.
Light the candle for an hour each evening from the 1st to the 24th and let the festive fragrance fill your home with Christmas itself. It opens bright and joyful, like peeling an orange by the fire - citrus oils fizzing in the air, instantly uplifting. The heart glows warmer: cloves pricked into oranges, cinnamon simmering in mulled wine, vanilla scraped from the pod and soft winter florals drifting through. As it settles, the scent deepens into something timeless and comforting, mossy woods, amber resin catching the glow of the flame, a whisper of musk. Together they create a perfume that is festive, enveloping and quietly irresistible.
Every oil is chosen not just for beauty but for its aromatherapy benefits too: citrus to brighten and lift, spices to comfort, woods to ground, florals to soothe. This is fragrance as ritual, mood-shifting, heart-warming and deeply seasonal.

The Advent Candle isn’t just a decoration or a gift. It’s the piece that completes Christmas. Don’t wait too long, they sell out every year.

"The advent candle was worth the wait and smells gorgeous in it’s beautiful green glass - cannot wait to start burning it in December I also ordered the magnesium body mist and think it’s really helping me sleep more soundly - I have a very stiff neck atm, so spray it on that area and massage in - it’s definitely helping me relax and sleep after 1 weeks use"
"Bought for my daughter and one for me too. Love it (and the lovely free little candle) and excited to start using it in December - beautiful scent. The fold out cardboard box it came in is really nice. Altogether a lovely product and has made a really nice gift."
"I am a new customer to NNL but have been so pleased with everything so far. I am really looking forwards to having a new December ritual of lighting this candle each evening. It smells gorgeously like all things Christmas. Lovely products , lovely company, very happy customer."
"This candle has arrived and I am so excited about lighting it. It not only looks good but it smells divine. I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed because I have ordered candles and perfumes before from Norfolk Natural Living so I know the quality would be first class. Definitely on my list for next year!"
"Everything about this company is marvellous. The products, the customer service, the packaging, the environmental focus. This is my second year buying the advent candle, it smells wonderful and is the perfect moment of calm in the hectic run up to Christmas."
"Whilts 16 degrees in late October is lovely for a dog walk, I'm longong to light this gorgeous snowfall candle! I'll try and be patient until the temperature drops a little but it smells so good in the box i might have to break my rules..."
"Thank you so much for my Advent Candle plus the free votive candle. They are both exquisite & I can’t wait to light them on the 1st December. The packaging is gorgeous too - it seems a shame to put it in the bin! Thank you again I love them! 😊"
"Absolutely delightful I’m so excited for the count down to begin with the comforting smells that make Christmas wafting around the house. Thank you"
"One of the best advent candles I’ve ever had - it’s only the end of October & it’s almost all burnt, I’m going to have to order another!"
"Always order these for my home and my sisters’. Special enough to take any home into the early Christmas spirit. Buy more than you think!"
