Beauty & Fragrance Advent Calendars- Info/Chat 2026 SPOILERS Thread 2

[OvaHere]

New thread

Guidelines
I'm starting this first one but hoping that when a thread looks close to ending another thread member can set the next one up. This is not working out so well. 😂

To avoid duplicate threads please try to post in the thread that's ending to alert everyone you're setting up a new one.

Other members check who was first to offer and whether a new one is live.
It might be an idea to keep a list of advents that are live in the OP and later on which are sold out. This can be copy/pasted/edited when a new thread is started.

It probably goes without saying but please be courteous and patient with each other. This thread will have spoilers and please no judging of others for their purchasing choices. Participation in the threads is optional.

🤣🤣 I'm loving these dreams. I also dreamt about it. Mine was where I saw them go on sale and then my phone decided to do a forced update and I could see in the background that the quantity was going down and down 🙈

Yeah totally over the Harrods Fragrance advent already . I also dreamt I bought it but the confirmation didn’t come through so I was deliberating whether to buy again when I woke up.
I quite like the look of the beauty one do you think this will also sell out really quickly. I can’t decide if I should buy this one straight away . I ideally would like to see other offerings like SpaceNk but it does have some great items in it and I think I would be quite sad if I missed it

Righto. I’ve decided that I am going to buy myself one BAC (and maybe also the JL FAC) as birthday gifts. The Harrods BAC is standout for me. Does that go as fast as the FAC or can I breathe easy and give you guys some space this morning?

Usually not as quickly @Fillybuster but it is good this year. I think you’d be ok waiting but if you want it, do t hang around too long.
@Puravida23 too- sorry, missed your post.

The bac is usually still for sale in September and sometimes October. I would say you have time to wait for some of the others. There's no need to order today.

The BAC doesn’t sell out within the day usually like the FAC but it doesn’t tend to hang around for months. I think this year’s will sell out faster than last year’s

DH has put less of his wages in our holiday savings this month after me hinting that I would like the BAC for my birthday again this year!

I hope the calendars are released today. We will be burnt out if we have many more of these sleepless nights this week 😴

They'll get released on Friday and we'll all be too busy sleeping and miss them 🙈🤣

I think last year it was around 11ish it went on sale. That doesn't mean much though as Harrods are a bit of a law unto themselves.

That’s probably exactly what will happen! 😂😂

I haven’t even had a shower yet and I’m working at home today. I need to get dressed so I’m properly in work mode 🙈 I may risk it now, assuming the FAC is more likely to go live on the hour 😬 (whatever hour of whatever day that may be!!)

Just to take everyone's mind off Harrods for a sec. There's a guy on Insta who thinks he knows what is in HN FAC this year. I can't work out where he got the info though so this all could be BS.

@OvaHere I follow him but he sometimes talks a load of 💩 so I never know what to believe from him. I watched that video last night but couldn't see where he'd got the info from, I think he's making it up.

In the comments someone referenced seeing something on the HN website so maybe there was a landing page glitch or something. Agree we shouldn't take it as gospel.

Check https://www.harveynichols.com/fragrance-advent-calendar/

Thanks. Maybe it is true. Wonder why the link is called that as the landing page is 12 Days of Fragrance not Fragrance Advent Calendar?

Oh I wish I’d know the HN contents sooner, I was in the store over the weekend. But based on the brands, I’m going to say it’s likely a no from me as I’ve not been a fan of the other scents I’ve tried from these brands. I had high hopes for HN as I loved their FAC last year

Some screenshots of the Elle advent calendar;
I think this looks amazing! I have the bioeffect eye serum and love it. I think that's worth more than the calendar. Obviously I'll have to do a proper assessment.

I’m too scared to look at anything else in case I get involved and miss an update 😂 kids gone , bed in . Coffee then I am going to have to walk the dog it’s already hot 😬 I just know it will happen when I’m picking up dog poo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😘

@JoRaRaRa that looks like the Beauty Pie serum I was telling you about.

That does look good @JoRaRaRa . I’ll have a proper look once this HFAC drama is resolved for the day! I’m like @SunnyPinkMoose and too scared to wander off task 🤣

The Elle calendar does look good this year. Do we know how much it will cost?

I've just tried to find the contents list but I can't see where anyone has put one together or on the Elle website. I've screenshot these from an insta ad which I can no longer find.

I was too busy taking screenshots to read the caption 🤦🏻‍♀️ and now the advert has gone 🤣 I think it was £130 last year.
