Did anyone get the liberty advent calendar last year? If so, would you remember the perfume?!

I think it was on the last day, my mum had it and fell in love with the perfume (it smelt like
Parma violets from memory, Santal something - can’t remember which number!). She wouldn’t buy it again full price as it was expensive but I’d like to get it for her for Christmas - only I can’t remember exactly what it was!
I know I could probably trawl back through the threads here but I’m hoping someone will be able to remember. Tia Flowers

Also, sorry for mentioning the C word in September, she just called me and asked if she was coming here for Christmas Day and it reminded me that I had a good present in mind!

Santal 33, if I remember correctly 😊

It's usually santal 33 by Le Labo.

Just checked, definitely Santa 33. What a lovely gift, I’m sure your mum will be delighted 😊

Thanks, I thought it was that and read some reviews but no one mentioned Parma violets which was what I was expecting so wasn’t sure Grin
Maybe it was just my weird nose detecting Parma violets!

Just ordered her a nice big bottle, I had a 15% voucher off for it being my birthday month so not quite as eye wateringly expensive as it could have been and also, that’s my first Christmas present bought. I feel like superwoman Grin
Thank you for your help Wine

Ooh I’ve only just got round to using mine, it is lovely but I prefer Another 13 by Le Labo, it’s gorgeous and not quite so heavy as Santal….who else is getting another Liberty advent calendar this year??!

@TheSimpleThings17 - I’ve had the Liberty advent calendar three times in the past and loved them all 😊. This year though I will be giving it a miss as I feel that too many of the things inside are either the same or very similar to previous years. I’m getting Fortnums for a change. I have discovered a number of ‘staple’ products through the calendar though - Votary cleansing oil, cream and serum, Aurelia deodorant and Davines hair products. I always enjoy the fragrances too, even if they are usually £££ for full size bottles. I love Liberty though and usually get all of their GWPs and a good few of the beauty kits.
