💄 More Calendars & Spoilers
Rather than making the opening post a mile long, here's a brilliant roundup of lots more advent calendars and the latest spoilers, including Charlotte Tilbury, Elemis, Lancôme, Tatcha, NEOM, Neal's Yard Remedies, and many more as they're announced:
👉 ^https://beauty-detective.com/category/beauty-advent-calendars^/ 👈

I haven’t updated lists or availability, but I’m sure we all know what’s going on 😀

Scout (my Copilot) is being very enabling for once!

"Honestly, Keepincool, if I were looking at this from your point of view, I'd lean towards yes, buy it.
The reason is that when we look at your actual likes rather than the theoretical value:
✅ You love home fragrance, candles, skincare and beauty treats. (true 😂)
✅ The "duds" aren't really duds:
The Culti car diffuser (£115) can go straight to your sister, so it still has value.
The Baobab snuffer (£29) is useful if you burn candles in different rooms, and if not it would make a lovely gift.
✅ The big-ticket items are all products I'd expect you to genuinely enjoy:
NEST Winter Soirée (£195)
Trudon Ernesto (£95)
Dr Vranjes Rosso Nobile (£70)
Ormonde Jayne Ambre Royal (£105)
Baobab Black Pearls (£55)
Those five items alone add up to about £520, which is already far more than the £350 purchase price.

My final verdict
Buy: 9/10
Chance of regret if you buy: Low
Chance of regret if it sells out before you decide: Moderate to high
Likelihood you'll actually use most of it: Very high
Of all the luxury calendars I've looked at this year, this is one of the few where I can genuinely see you enjoying almost every door rather than ending up with a pile of minis to declutter later. The fact that you've already mentally allocated the car diffuser and can see a use for the snuffer is actually a very good sign."

That's that then - off to Harrods I go 😍

Ah yes, I’d forgotten about that. Hopefully they will announce it this week

I meant to quote @MiaN

@Addictedtobeauty - the BT calendar looks fabulous! Enjoy.

My CB edits arrived today. I haven’t opened them yet. With those and the few bits I bought off Vinted and EBay from other calendars I almost have enough to make a Frankenstein calendar. Or to get DH to do it for me although he will think I have finally lost the plot. I do worry that it would feel a bit flat as I’d know what was in it though.

Also trying to decide whether to order The White Company one now with 15% off or hold out for a possible bigger discount. Which also runs the risk of it selling out.

Decisions decisions!

Scout is a great enabler - here's his rundown on Harrods v other fragrance calendars in case anyone else is wavering...

Harrods vs Diptyque
Diptyque is usually regarded as the gold standard home fragrance calendar.
Pros:

• Beautiful packaging.
• Prestigious brand.
• Consistent fragrance profile.

Cons:

• Lots of mini candles.
• Less variety.
• If you dislike one scent family, several doors may disappoint.

For £350, I'd rather have:

• the huge NEST candle,
• Trudon Ernesto,
• Dr Vranjes Rosso Nobile,
• Ormonde Jayne,

than 25 smaller Diptyque items. Winner for you: Harrods

Harrods vs Jo Malone
Jo Malone advents tend to contain:

• Cologne minis
• Mini candles
• Bath/body products

They're lovely, but if we're honest, you're not constantly talking to me about Jo Malone fragrances. You're much more interested in luxury candles, home scent and discovering niche brands. Winner for you: Harrods

Harrods vs Penhaligon's
Penhaligon's calendars are fantastic if your goal is to build a perfume wardrobe.
But:

• lots of small sizes
• less home fragrance
• usually fewer full-size products

I don't think this is your priority. Winner for you: Harrods

Harrods vs buying £350 worth yourself
This is the comparison I think matters most. For £350 you could buy:

• NEST Winter Soirée (£195)
• Trudon Ernesto (£95)

and have £60 left. You'd get only two products. The calendar gets you:

• those luxury niche brands,
• discovery,
• the excitement of opening it,
• brands you've probably never tried before.

Thanks to the detective work of the lovely @JoRaRaRa , I used a company called Parcel Flow in Northern Ireland. The forwarding was very reasonable at £18.50. This was via Parcel Force. I’m lucky it all went to plan as Parcel Force Insurance is not enough to cover the calendar cost. I would have preferred to pay more and have the full cost covered - just in case.

@Addictedtobeauty Thank you!

The AC is lovely. I'm so glad it made it to you safely!

I just wasn't ready to take the leap with the parcel company. Maybe if they re-release or have another version. Fingers crossed.

@keepincool. I think you have your answer 😆

@Addictedtobeauty it looks so beautiful. I'm really looking forward to mine.All being well it should be here in the next couple of days.

For that money I need to absolutely love it all. The car diffuser is such a bummer. Just take it out and give me the rest for 225 lol. Or trade that in for fancy laundry deturgent, somw linnen sprays, a body/hair mist for sleeping. I dont know. Way too candle heavy.

I also dont think I would like the NEST candle going off your description so its a hard no for me. But I get why people like it.

Id rather invest in a Fornasetti piece myself. Waiting for the sales. Please let there be a good sale

This is VERY persuasive talk. It's made me realise something really bloody obvious: I'll probably spend £350 on candles and diffusers over a year anyway, so why not make them exceptional ones?

I already adore Dr Vranjes, really like the Trudon Ernesto, and with the exception of the annoying car thing (and possibly the white flowers room spray), these are absolutely up my olfactory street

One thing...does anyone have direct experience of a 600g Nest candle? I've only ever seen three wicks with a candle of that size.

Anyway, please someone shut me up if this is too much of a BAC derail.

Unfortunately I paid full price for my space nk calendar but I’ve just tried the first order code now and it works ☹️

That looks lovely!

Not a BAC but today succumbed to a CB Overnight edit, but really it’s a gift for a friend. As I’ve never bought these before, do they generally arrive in good enough condition to gift?

Yes. they come in a nice sturdy box with a lid.

The CBAFF code isn't working with the edits anymore 😔

Do You know if it was Max 1 per person or any limit?

I braved the (physical) queue for Santa toys at store opening time this morning. That’s enough for me. Can imagine the virtual SFAC race will be more palpitation inducing! Good luck to all who seek xx

@Isabelle70 did you buy the selfridges fragrance calendar today ? Have I missed something

I open my BT one today and let me tell you I was SO impressed. I have Harrods, CB, SNK as well. Regret SNK and CB tbh but the selection delivering to Ireland isn’t amazing.

BT is my number 1 this year. Sirene privee and Fugazzi Angel dust are fab, I am obsessed!

@Addictedtobeauty well done you ! I’m so happy you have got it and in one piece - and you love it . This is god omens for @JoRaRaRa and @OvaHere and others . That makes me so very happy for you all x just need complete deliveries to be able to enjoy for all !!! And next year BT better brace themselves and let’s hope they go further and set the example for other companies xxx

I’d like to try a Sisley lipstick, but not in that shade. It’s too pale for me unfortunately. If it had been a deeper berry shade then perhaps I would have been more tempted.

She’s so cute, I refuse to believe she does anything naughty. She definitely is a legend 🐈

Really Ree has just put up a 15% discount for new customers at Space UK. FIRST15 takes the AC down to £233.75.

My BT calendar has made it to the shipping office….now need to get it sent on to me in London….@Advententhusiast thank you for the photos, it really is stunning - hope mine arrives in similarly good nick!
