Welcome to Thread 3! 🥳

Firstly, a huge thank you to @ovahere for getting us started and looking after the first two threads. It's been lovely seeing everyone sharing news, spoilers and enabling each other already! ❤️

As agreed, we're taking it in turns to start each new thread this year. If this thread starts getting close to the reply limit, please post to let everyone know you're happy to start the next one so we can avoid duplicate threads.

A few festive housekeeping notes;
🎁 This thread contains spoilers.
🎄 Please be kind and respectful to one another.
💸 No judging anyone for their purchasing choices (or how many calendars they buy, we're all enablers here! 😂).
🎀 Feel free to share spoilers, offers, discount codes, GWPs, delivery updates and stock alerts.

✨ We're only on thread 3 and some members already have three advent calendars on the way 🎅 I think it's safe to say advent season is officially underway! 🎄

💄 More Calendars & Spoilers

Rather than making the opening post a mile long, our friend Mary has a brilliant roundup of lots more advent calendars and the latest spoilers, including Charlotte Tilbury, Jo Malone, Elemis, Lancôme, Tatcha, NEOM, Neal's Yard Remedies, Holland & Barrett, YesStyle and many more as they're announced.

👉 https://beauty-detective.com/category/beauty-advent-calendars/ 👈

🎅 Happy advent season everyone! 🎁

Here's hoping for lots more spoilers, bargains, discount codes, and maybe a little self-control (although judging by threads 1 and 2, that seems unlikely! 😄)

Safe from Vogue. Phew! Will need to wait for the full reveals of Selfridges (fragrance and beauty) CB and GB before I see of they’re possibles.

OvaHere · 10/08/2026 22:57

ElizabethG81 · 10/08/2026 22:31

Some more Cult Beauty spoilers.

I'm probably not going to get CB as there's too much I don't want but I really like Paula's Choice Retinol. Just putting that out there for anyone interested.

This is going to sell so fast. 😬

Agree. It looks like the value will be more than the Harrods FAC.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 10/08/2026 23:34

Ooooh the Selfridges fragrance calendar is very appealing & I love Bibbi.
All Bibbi perfumes are made by Jérôme Epinette, my perfume twin.

I wonder how much it will be?

Selfridges have clearly decided to full on challenge Harrods for the crown. 😂

Do we have a price yet? I think they may charge more than Harrods - £250?

I haven't seen a price for it yet. It has quite a few big names so I'm expecting it to be around the same as the Harrods FAC. I think if they really want to challenge for the crown, they can't charge too much more than Harrods or Harrods will still have the best spend to value ratio.

I'm up for a digital fight as long as they give us an actual release date but I feel like I'll be very very lucky to be a) notified in time and b) complete checkout without the website falling over. Didn't it crash that time they released the fragrance wardrobe unexpectedly?

I think they can afford to go a bit higher than Harrods seeing as in store is now the only place you can get the Harrods one later this month.

JoRaRaRa · 10/08/2026 23:43

I think there's still at least 2 fragrances to release info on, there were mind games and liquides imaginaires on the box list too.

Hopefully not too much more 🤞🏻 I don't mind an unexpected drop as long as someone on here sees it and notifies us all 🤣

It's the Harrods anxiety all over again and I've got even less justification for trying to buy this one. 😈

And we've still got a load more reveals to come 🙈 1 FAC and 1 BAC I told myself 🤪

OP posts:
JoRaRaRa · 10/08/2026 23:57

I'm just going to come out and say it. I think I might prefer the Selfridge's FAC to the Harrods one 🙊 (I still love the Harrods one).

If the Ex Nihilo is 30ml and the Selfridges FAC is a similar price to the Harrods FAC it will be worth it for me just for that. I really don’t want to buy another AC though!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 11/08/2026 00:05

There's Jarrolds to come out too. I know it's a 12 dayer but it always looks pretty good.

I think Harrods Fragrance did crash the website once

Me too maybe, although I am pleased to have Delina Exclusif and Bromptons Extrait plus a few others from Harrods. I might have second guessed myself if Selfridges had revealed earlier.

Problem is if we had skipped trying to get Harrods in that mad rush it doesn't mean we would get Selfridges as that will be a scramble too. Got to be in it to win it with these mega FACs. 😂

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 11/08/2026 00:20

It's worse than playing poker at times what with holding your nerve 😂

MiaN · 11/08/2026 06:01

Wow, selfidges fragrance advent 😍. I want

BeautyMoth · 11/08/2026 06:11

I was feeling virtuous having passed on the Harrods FAC this year, but having seen Selfridges, that resolve has completely disappeared! Damn.

MiaN · 11/08/2026 06:18

They smashed the selection, much better variety for my family - me and my son wild make use of every single perfume listed. My husband won't get much! I hope I am able to get it
