The Voluspa 12 Day Advent Calendar: A Luxury Candle Countdown to the Holidays

• Erin Walton

A luxury advent calendar gives each day something worth savoring. Voluspa's 12 Day Advent Calendar does this with twelve petite pedestal candles set inside an alpine village of numbered drawers.

What's Included in the Voluspa 12 Day Advent Calendar

The calendar is packaged in a decorative alpine village print with metallic accents. It holds twelve individually numbered drawers, each opened with a pull ribbon. Behind each drawer is one candle.

The set is an assortment of twelve unique fragrances from the Japonica and Holiday Collections, two of Voluspa's most loved collections. It includes the best-selling Mediterranean Lemon and the new Gingerbread Chalet. Each candle is housed in a decorative glass votive in a range of ornamental colors, with a single natural wick. Each is 2.5 oz and burns for approximately 25 hours.

The twelve fragrances in the set are:

  • Mediterranean Lemon
  • Gingerbread Chalet
  • Moso Bamboo
  • French Cade Lavender
  • Santal Vanille
  • Baltic Amber
  • Crushed Candy Cane
  • Noble Fir Garland
  • White Cypress
  • Forbidden Fig
  • Goji Tarocco Orange
  • Foraged Wildberry

The set also includes a gold-plated wick trimmer. Trimming the wick before each burn supports a clean, even flame, so the tool is included with the candles.

All twelve candles use Voluspa's coconut wax blend. The candles are vegan and free of phthalates, parabens, and sulfates. Each is hand-poured in California.
