Saw the first post today releasing contents and price so have started this thread. Let the spreadsheets commence.

Revolution Beauty £50 beautyadventcalendar.net/revolution-advent-calendar-2025/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DLQEY5ao22M

I’ve called it S&B as there’s usually discussion of nice food, socks, jewellery and other item ACs as well.

Will we get the full reveals of the Harrods calendars today?

Did they reveal in advance last year? I can't remember.

I'm not a fan of Oud so not sure I'll be buying it. But fomo is real 🤣 I had it in my basket last year and i didn’t click buy. When I'd decided a few mins later it had gone. 🤷🤣
I kept looking for it to be back in stock but never came back in.

Based on the the few items we know I prefer this one to last years (which I didn't buy) but I'm expecting quite a price hike based on what others have said.

I'm going to try and buy it but I've accepted there's zero time for contemplation. The rest is in the hands of the perfume Gods. I'm half expecting the site to crash.

I don’t know, it was before my AC time 😆 Maybe we just find out at the same time they go on sale. I’d like a few more reveals from other ACs this week.

OvaHere · 04/08/2025 10:20

@ElizabethG81 I think the full reveal will be the at the launch tomorrow.

ElizabethG81 · 04/08/2025 10:21

I’m expecting it to be a manic morning!

JoRaRaRa · 04/08/2025 10:55

The Harrods fragrance calendar sounds like it's more masculine, spicy smells, from what I've read. It also sounds like everyone wants it so could be manic tomorrow 🤣 I tend to prefer feminine scents.

I'm really trying to resist the urge to pre-order the Harrods beauty one before knowing the contents. I'd be gutted if it didn't have a full size night cream in it. I'm also not loving the red lipstick - again! They all need to hurry up and reveal the contents! I can't wait any longer 🤣

Growlybear83 · 04/08/2025 10:59

There seems to be a lot of hype about the fragrance calendar this year. Usually it’s released online at about 2 am, without all this fanfare. I hope the preorders don’t sell out too quickly as I don’t fancy having to face the fights at the store again.

Addictedtobeauty · 04/08/2025 11:08

I agree about the Harrods hype- and so many people buy it just to sell on for a huge mark up. I wish they did a pre pre sale for regular customers.

Addictedtobeauty · 04/08/2025 11:12

You will have time for the beauty one, I think, to look over the contents before decidingi if it’s for you. It’s the fragrance one that causes mayhem.

Growlybear83 · 04/08/2025 11:23

@Addictedtobeauty I think that would be much fairer. And I think think they should restrict it to one per person.

I have a feeling because they've done a countdown to 11am this year tomorrow will be very stressful. I'm only about 50% confident I will get one in the basket and through the checkout process,

However if it's not meant to be I will get the Harvey Nicks and maybe Space NK fragrance if they do them again.

Willow742 · 04/08/2025 11:35

All Harrods calendars are available for pre-order on the app now!

Fragrance is £215

Growlybear83 · 04/08/2025 11:37

I’ve just looked and I can’t see them?

The last 2 years I've been able to order the beauty one mid September, but I've seen on Instagram people saying that due to it selling out early last year that they're buying it at pre-sale. It's so hard to know what to do, I don't want to miss out but also don't want to order too early and miss out on one of the others which I might think is better. Which one do you usually go for?
The harvey nicks and space nk fragrance ones from last year look good, i think if one of them has a candle, that might sell it to me.
I can't actually imagine people scrapping in Harrods 🤣 Hopefully they'll be horrified from last year's fiasco and do more this year and then people won't need to freak out. They also should restrict them to one per person if they're in such high demand.

Georgieporgie29 · 04/08/2025 11:41

Thank you so much for the heads up. I’ve managed to pre-order the fragrance calendar on the app.

JustWhatIAlwaysWanted · 04/08/2025 11:49

I've looked and on balance I'm going to leave it at 215, but good luck to all fragrance calendar hunters! I will see what else comes up.

Puravida23 · 04/08/2025 11:51

Thank you @Willow742 just nabbed a fragrance advent.

SoloCat · 04/08/2025 11:53

Just about to say they’re preorder on the app now. I’ve ordered, fingers crossed no issues with cancellation this year!

OvaHere · 04/08/2025 11:54

@Willow742 Thanks so much.

Phew so relieved I don't have to do this at work tomorrow.

Now to look at what I've actually bought and check out the beauty advent.

Growlybear83 · 04/08/2025 11:55

@Willow742 Thanks so much. The homepage wasn’t loading properly on my phone - I’ve had lots of problems with the Harrods app recently. But I downloaded it onto my iPad and have ordered my fragrance calendar. Let’s hope they don’t cock up the orders like they did last year!

Thank you, I've ordered the perfume one for my mum. But I wasn't impressed with the beauty one to pre-order. I'll have to properly review via a spreadsheet 🤣 I have reward credit and now I wish I'd used it against the perfume one 🙈

Puravida23 · 04/08/2025 11:55

Think I will be swerving the Beauty one though as dosent appeal but good to see Harrods have kept this one at £250

JoRaRaRa · 04/08/2025 11:58

£215

Another saying for the heads up and have ordered the fragrance one, on first glance the beauty one looks like a skip for me but will review the contents later and wait for the others at a similar price point.
