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.

This looks very luxurious but it isn’t for me, thankfully

Im excited to see the Selfridges FAC and the SNK BAC and maybe Cult Beauty. I want all the reveals soon so I can compare everything and not miss out when I finally decide on one or two....maybe three. 🙈

I can do thread 3 🤪

Thank you @JoRaRaRa

I hereby hand you the keys to the Kingdom. 👑

Is the OK! BAC the one that is often on TikTok at random low prices (apart from my account, I never get the offers 😂)?

I seem to remember the Hannah Martin name from TikTok last year. Or was she linked to a different brand last year? Latest in Beauty was another one with fluctuating TikTok prices.

Im very excited by F+M!

Confirmation that LF are doing a fragrance advent again.

That looks a big box, potentially a few 30mls in there 👀

I got it last year and let’s just say the box was oversized for the contents!
I was really happy with it but hoping for less dabbers this year and potentially ruling out perume shop for the same reason

I feel the same. I'm expecting it to have gone up in cost this year. Maybe £110 or £120. Haven't ruled it out but if there is a lot of little dabbers I ought to be sensible and pass. If the ratio of sprayers is decent and a good 30ml for the last day like last year I could be swayed.

The same here. Last year my MIL had F&M BAC and it was lovely, and kind of special.

Oh, not sure what to get myself this year. I was thinking about doing a bit of BAC gamble and see if any of the calendars I like get reduced in price. But that’s not going to be the case with Harrods or F&M. These two I like the best so far but the same time there are quite few that we haven’t seen yet.

I’ve just looked at my emails and the LF fragrance calendar was released on 1st September last year and cost £130.

That's more than I thought. For some reason I thought it was about £100.

Another one who's pleased to see you @MaryBD I love your site & have been reading it for years!

Loving the look of this year’s Jo Malone calendar. ♥️

I got some of the scents last year.
Tbh I wasnt keen. I compared it to the scents in the space nk,HN, Liberty that id started to get. It just didnt compare fragrance wise or longevity but maybe watch some reviews on youtube x

@OvaHere I think maybe it was their beauty calendar that was about £100. I think the fragrance one was still good value as long as you wanted the Jo Malone.

All the various dabbers are still in my cupboard getting knocked over every time I get something out 😂

I’m gutted… My HFC order has been cancelled! 😭
I placed two orders because the first one had the wrong address. I contacted them on WhatsApp and asked them to cancel the first order only. They confirmed they had cancelled the first order and that the second order was still active.
I received the cancellation email for the first order yesterday, but today I saw that the second order has been cancelled too. I only noticed the cancellation today, and I don’t understand what happened.

Buy it.
You know you need it!

Oh No ! That is ridiculous . I’m so sorry that is shockingly bad customer service . Could you try to call them ? Sometimes it’s better than a what app ?

Ahhh ok! I'll ignore the big box then 🤣

Oh no! Phone them first thing tomorrow and hopefully they'll be able to sort it out for you 🤞🏻

Gonna call them tomorrow and i have Whatsapp chats as proof. Lets see

Jo Malone looks stunning this year 🥰
F&M is more interesting than I’d like.
Selfridges is promising so far (both).

I’ve already bought HF, HB and Liberty. So much for being sensible 🙄. Leopards, spots and all that!
