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 have the Harrods Fragrance as well, took 4 orders for it to be dispatched! What do you think of it? I still have 3 drawers left and I have liked about half of them so far. The heavy or male scents are going on eBay in the NY as no one in the family would like or appreciate them.

@Growlybear83 @Wherethewildthingsfart this is my 3rd Liberty because of the Beauty drop and it will be my last for a while as I no longer have any BD credit.
Next year maybe I will go for Selfridges or Harrods as they both post to me.

Totally agree - such a huge drawer for a small item!

Ooh perhaps I posted too soon this morning having now made it downstairs and opened todays drawer am very happy!! A lovely different interesting perfume that is much more 'me' have happily spritzed it liberally! . Although it was right at the back of the drawer behind all the tissue paper for a moment I thought I had an empty drawer!

I absolutely love today's perfume It's gorgeous. I think I have found my new favourite perfume! It's £180 for 50ml though.

Mine was broken 😔. The drawer smells nice though.

Another gorgeous perfume! Really love this on first spray -think it will be heavenly in summer too.
@dazzlingdeborahrose what a terrible shame. Gosh your whole calendar must have been smelling gorgeous for the last few weeks! I'm sure CS will help you.

Interesting reading everyone’s thoughts on the calendar. As the saying goes you can’t please all of the people all of the time! On the whole I’m enjoying it. No major disappointments. Do I love everything? No. But I didn’t expect to. I probably won’t go for Liberty next year if I do get a calendar. But I am saving £20 a month in a separate bank account towards whatever calendar I do go for. If I go for one at all.

I do need to start wearing perfume more often. And make up. I think that will be my New Year’s resolution! Then I might actually get through some of my stash.

I like the quick sniff I had of today’s perfume.

Does anyone have the lipstick in the orangey shade that they would like to swap for my red and blue?

I agree that today's perfume is really lovely.

I’ve been lurking on this thread rather than posting but I got Reunion and would be delighted to swap for Red And Blue. It’s still unopened - I can take a picture tonight if you’re interested. 🙂

I think todays drawer kinda sums up the difference between the space NK and Liberty calendars and it's all down to personal choice. They're both excellent.
Liberty give you one high quality product you'd probably never try and spaceNK give you 3 mid range ish products (make up related)
I'm overflowing with products!

@Peridot1 I started wearing perfume again after last year's calendar! It was because the rollerball rose fragrance had to be used in a year, and then I got a few other fragrances in the Beauty Drop and various kits so I started wearing it everyday.

I might have bought a couple of the fragrances kits as well, so I'm now drowning in small bottles of perfume, and have to rotate them strictly!

@allmybooksarefromthelibrary - I have loads from various kits and calendars and Beauty Drop boxes! I’m sure some of mine will have gone off. Although they are kept in a box.

@nearly61 The box does indeed smell fabulous 😂 I've emailed customer service. Fingers crossed they can send a replacement because I love the scent.

This is my favourite perfume so far. It's gorgeous - floral but super clean and feels quite like a 'singular' scent - can't really explain what I mean but slightly reminds me of Molecule 01 even though it smells completely different.

I am pleased with today although it could have had a smaller drawer

This is my first Liberty Calendar. I've enjoyed it and love a few of the products but only a couple have really stood out for me. I'll probably try something different next year (If I can afford it). But breadly happy.

Day 19!

Ex Nihlio Fleur Narcotique Eau de Parfum 7.5ml TRAVEL SIZE
Value £24 (as part of a 5 vial travel set of 7.5ml)/£19.50 (£260 for 100ml)

I didn’t think much of it at all when I first sprayed, thought “ok basic floral”, but after a few hours, it’s lovely! Definitely one I will retry in summer. It smells like someone you want to hug.

@dazzlingdeborahrose send their customer service a WhatsApp I’ve read they are really good at replacements in the calendar.

@dazzlingdeborahrose I contaced Liberty last year about a missing item and they send a replacement straight away.

Ooh I like todays - gorgeous fragrance

I've been in touch with Liberty and they are sending a replacement perfume. You cannot fault their customer service!

Tell us about the Space NK one? That was my second choice, although I am v much enjoying Liberty (todays perfume - lovely) woukd be interesting yo compare!

Oh I love today's! Even though I have perfume coming out of my ears after having the Space NK perfume calendar. It isn't what I would usually go for, it is more floral than I tend to lean to. However, I took a shine to it after testing it so I used it properly for my perfume for today at 06:30 and all day I have been getting its throw. Even now I keep getting pulses of it. I am very impressed with it's staying power. I haven't checked the price but the fact I haven't reapplied all day is a tick (potentially) for value for money!

Has anyone else received the email about the candle from Day 3?

I was just about to share it

Yes I have it - I'll probably not gift the candle as I'd been planning to , the £25 is welcome
