Exploring the Six Candles of Sentier's 2025 Advent Calendar

There’s a gentle magic to discovering a new candle scent—one that unravels a memory, a dream, a place you’ve never been but can imagine. Sentier Fragrance’s 2025 Advent Calendar, “12 Days × 12 Stories,” offers precisely that: six curated candles, each a portal into a poetic world waiting to be explored. Let’s open the lid and step into soft glows and whispered tales.

1. Golden River

From the Mediterranean’s sun-kissed embrace, this scent evokes evenings bathed in warm radiance. Picture amber waves of heat, the slow crackle of twilight, and an atmosphere steeped in both allure and serenity. A candle for golden-hour dreams and moments when time seems to slow.

2. Botanical Sanctuary

This scent invites you into a rainforest retreat—verdant, damp, alive. Earthy greens, delicate florals, and a hint of rain-soaked thatch: a fragrant escape that soothes, grounds, and refreshes. 

3. The Florist’s Garden

Bright, blossoming, joyful, this scent is gardening in the first light of dawn. Imagine dew still clinging to petals, scents merging into a fragrant symphony of freshly cut flowers, each bloom offering a subtle note of color and life. 

4. Alpine Chalet

Winter’s crispness captured in wax and wick. Evergreen forest, frosted needles, the smell of clean, cold air—this is freshly logged pine, spires of spruce, and the quiet hush of snowy mountain paths. Perfect for creating a cozy yet invigorating ambiance. 

5. Whispering Spell

There’s something intangible and whimsical in this scent—like flicking open a fairy-tale. Subtle, mysterious, enchanted. Whether floral whispers, soft woodsy undertones, or gentle spices, this candle calls to your inner dreamer, to the belief that something marvelous is just around the corner.

6. Land of Dreams

Soft and ethereal, this is candlelight for quiet night musings. Imagine drifting through misty skies, where day’s weight lifts and your imagination takes flight. Cloud-soft whispers, gentle musks, and a sense of boundless potential wrapped in wax—not just a scent, but a lullaby for the soul.

Sentier’s advent calendar isn’t just about fragrances, it’s storytelling in scent. Each candle whispers a setting, an emotion, a moment of quiet wonder. From the warm glow of Golden River to the dreamy haze of Land of Dreams, these six candles offer more than aroma—they’re mood-setters, memory-invokers, and portals to other worlds.

Suggested Ways to Experience Them:

• Match scent to spirit: Choose Botanical Sanctuary when you’re seeking calm, Alpine Chalet for clarity, or Whispering Spell for creative spark.
• Pair thoughtfully: Burn The Florist’s Garden during a morning routine for a fresh start; light Golden River in the evening to transition into softness.
• Integrate into rituals: Celebrate small wins with Whispering Spell, infuse meditation time with Land of Dreams, or wrap yourself in cozy warmth with Alpine Chalet on a grey day.

On top of these six enchanting candles, you’ll also enjoy six alcohol-free scents, each in a 10 ml mini-bottle. These perfumes are designed to ignite confidence, inspire discovery, and accompany you through personal tales of elegance, adventure, and nostalgia.

Sentier’s “12 Days × 12 Stories” Advent Calendar transforms a festive countdown into a sensory voyage. The six candle and perfume fragrances open doors to places both real and imagined—by the river, in a rainforest, amidst mountain pines, within secret gardens, enchanted realms, and the dreamscape of cloud-soft nights.
