Just had a targeted email for 25% off HN fragrance. I bit the bullet.

That’s a great offer! I paid full price, I was very much expecting them to sell out quickly

I never get these. Come on HN, it's not like I haven't bought anything at your store.

@ovahere I have stalked this calendar recently, adding and removing from basket, then leaving it in there until next try of codes etc- so I presume it’s AI marketing based on engagement.

I shall remember that for next year!

I refuse to be tempted by BBC. I had a couple of boxes that were OK but then I had the one with the CT individual perfume samples that was meant to be a discovery set. It also didn't have the Jurlique products as advertised.
I got quite a rude email from customer service but the manager sorted it quickly to be fair when I escalated. I was actually cc'd on their internal email about it at one point and could see they're just incompetent and out of their depth; definitely not scammers or anything malicious.

Edited

I agree that I think BBC are just incompetent and out of their depth rather than scammers. I left a very honest review last year after the first box I had problems with and they removed it within 24 hours 🙄

Thanks for posting as I checked yesterday and 10%discount was only for premium one. Not even got out of the bed and spending started.

I have an extra 650 points coupon on 65 spend but not working on this. Don't have an extra 10% off other. Disappointed 🤣
Bought one other day at £70. 😪🤩

I don't blame you! If I can get at least 15% off then I'll be going for it but no email for me unfortunately.

Willow742 · 01/11/2025 11:47

The Harvey Nicks frag calendar can't be selling so well, they've just sent me a 25% discount code 🤩

Edit: I see I'm one of a special few! 😅

Exactly the same, I've been all the way to checkout a couple of times but backed out - caution pays!

What did you get? Is this just for the advent calendar? I paid full price. Sob.

DarkRootsBlue · 01/11/2025 12:13

I received the Just My Look calendar this morning, it was quick I only ordered yesterday. I’ve opened it all already in case I wanted to sell anything but there is only 2 things I wouldn’t use (sleep mask and perfume).

Really happy. £80 but I was going to spend £13 on centella oil anyway. It was in their calendar last year as well and it’s been amazing, my skin is really clear from using it (had mild rosacea).

Yes, a single use code just for the fragrance AC.

The Boots skincare advent which was £70 is now also included in the 10% off eith stargift10, and works alongside the 10% off £25 if you have it on your advantage card. I also have £7 points on a £70 spend on my advantage card which works for me if I have two in my basket. Tempted.

Thanks! Got this now - it's been my top choice for a second calendar for a while, was just hanging on to see if any offers came up. The Stargifts10 worked (but it is case sensitive, folks, so make sure you put it in all caps) and I had a 450 extra points code to use on top. So paid 63 and am happy! In theory that's me done now. But.. <sideways glance at the Lancome on Next>

Addictedtobeauty · 01/11/2025 13:04

@DarkRootsBlue that looks great for the price, and very well curated.

Evergreen21 · 01/11/2025 14:37

There is a blue light code that works on the fragrance advent from The fragrance shop.

This was too good an offer to pass by, I have ordered 🤩 Thank you for sharing!

Ooh thank you. Ordered this one. It’s a great deal and there are several products that I’m really interested in trying.

psuedocream3 · 01/11/2025 17:00

Glad it's helped lots of you. I have also received the 25% of HN perfume advent... and I'm going to have to pass them both up as I've spent my limit.

pinkchampagne1 · 01/11/2025 17:03

Do you all buy lots from HN to get the discount codes?

I popped the fragrance calendar in my basket around 3 hours ago , they have just sent 25% off code . I don't buy much from them

IDontHateRainbows · 01/11/2025 17:58

I phoned up HN.to see if they would send me the code, apparently they send it randomly to some customers and couldn't tell me why I hadn't got it.
If anyone gets the code and doesn't want to.use it id be very grateful of a PM!

Ooh, I might try that! I don’t actually need another fragrance calendar but if I got a code then I could be swayed 😁

I have ordered , with my £6 of points it came to about £125 . Would have been rude not to 😇

psuedocream3 · 01/11/2025 18:24

Also if you go through vouchercodes.co.uk you get a £15 amazon voucher with a spend over £75 at Harvey Nichols. And you could go through JamDoughnut app and buy a gift card and get just short of £10 back there too.

pinkchampagne1 · 01/11/2025 18:32

You got a bargain there! 😃
