It is one sleep away! We’ve all been very patient, since Liberty London revealed their advent calendar in June this year.

Reveals from 7am GMT each morning please. This is to harmonise discussion/shift work/different time zones.

I was agreeing with you @mountparmo and referring to other PP. I didn’t @ you and quoted you to carry on that thread of conversation. My post wasn’t rude, no need to read it in QUITE that tone. It’s Christmas!

Not sure today's perfume is for me unfortunately. I'm still really enjoying the perfume from day one luckily. On a side note, I've developed two spots since starting the rose serum, has anyone else?

Oh what brand is that candle? Oh perhaps we’ve all been terribly crass and Bibbi meant spells and magic by “assignations”, were referencing the Cloak of Invisibility and “The Other Room” that everyone wants to get to is one of those places that appears on a particular evening on the Marauder’s Map.

@SlightlyJaded don’t miss the bath oil that came yesterday as well

Agreed. I have the alternative item and given a fair few of us seem to have this, it is quite difficult to work out if it is a mistake and I need to email customer services or not without spoilering the rest of the calendar for either myself or anyone else.

Most people have mentioned the item we’re meant to have, and you can see what you’re meant to have at this link. There’s no risk of spoilers on the link if you’re worried about that, as you click through the day’s number to find out. https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/features/beauty/liberty-beauty-advent-calendar-whats-inside.html The Liberty beauty team post the item each day on instagram and you can email them to check - their customer service is more responsive on WhatsApp. So there’s lots of ways to check without mentioning it here. It’s interesting to hear what people’s experience of the AC is like, I’d be really annoyed if it is a substitution but if it is a future item people don’t want spoilers on the thread.

OK - I had a quick look in the drawer it was most likely to be mixed up with and on mine two drawers have been mixed up. And only spoilered myself for one day!

The perfume has mellowed quite nicely on me. The top note I was less keen on (I think it was the saffron) has faded and it's pleasantly woody but floral.

I love the perfume, it smells strongly of honey to me!
I wasn’t that keen on toms ghost by bibi last year but love this one.

Hmmm! Now it's settled I think I quite like it but it's an odd one for sure! I can't decide!
It had an overwhelming talcum powder whiff at first, now it smells more like an aftershave.

@allmybooksarefromthelibrary at the risk of provoking @BakeOffRewatch by breaking her rules, would you mind saying which drawer? So I can check myself without rifling through everything?

Here's a warning for anyone who doesn't want to know there has been a different product in some drawers to scroll past that post.

Said in my most Christmasy tone🎄

I got the wrong item today, I can see the neighbouring box (door 16) looks to have a dark blue box which I’m assuming is the perfume?

Omg this is my best day yet, I LOVED Ghost of Tom and I love this one too!

Apologies for getting this wrong. I see now it was an item for a different day- I was looking fot a different kind of product 🫣

Don't worry, I really appreciate you trying to be helpful:)

Thanks @gateacre1. And thanks @Fuzzyandwarm too, I really appreciate you trying to help as well

I like today's perfume, it's settled down really well . I am wafting around mysteriously at home, I feel I need to order myself a silk kaftan .

I like the perfume too! I preferred it when I first sprayed though because it had some interesting citrusy notes and now it smells a bit more generic.

My jury is out on the perfume still.
@TheRealMummyPig yes me too! Spot on the muddle of my cheek only since dying the rose serum. Going to stop using it and then try again in a couple of weeks time to rule it in or out. I really liked it too.

I really don’t like the perfume 😕

I've had a bonkers few days so just catching up. Shampoo I was less interested in, as assumed I couldn't use it with my Brazilian blow dry, but thanks to this thread, I now know I can.

Hand cream is good, love Verden, but never really got the hype about Aromatherapy Associates.

I'm also a victim of the drawer 7 mix up. My husband has found the perfume in drawer 16 and swapped them over for me now, but a bit disappointed I'll have no surprise for then.

Now I've tried the scent I'd say it's not for me, but I also wasn't a fan of Ghost of Tom either. I seem to find Bibbi fragrances quite overpowering and acrid. But will give this some time to soften and see if my view changes. Always interesting to try a new perfume, even if the result is I'm not sold.

Me! I do have mild rosacea which has been good for a while but back with a spot and only change was this!! Strange as billed to be for sensitive skin.

Sorry about messing up again, I asked for the message to be deleted.

I have not tried this perfume believe it or not, there are not available in Ireland. But the perfumer is great - Jerome Epinette and he is probably the one that has most creations out over the last few years. He is having a moment.

When it comes to perfume I go by
Are there people that will have no other choice but be near me for length of time, like in work - keep it light and polite.
If not - How do I feel? How I want to feel today? Is there perfume that can help me feel the way I want to feel.

That's all, if it does - who cares about what others think, what season it is and are you wearing night time perfume when making lunch. If it can take you on path of feeling or being the way you want be it's a winner.

Hmm, I’m not going to post what I got today as think it’s from a future drawer!! ( doesn’t match what should be there according to the QR code!). I chose Liberty as it wasn’t make up heavy but I’d really love a little bit of make up now I think!

No idea if it's the right draw or not... love love todays will check & see if it's correct
