Is anyone able to start up a new thread please? I think this one could fill up before the SFAC launches 😬

oops. Price is £175

I love that Harvey Nicks have dropped that in to the mix just before the SFAC goes on sale. Competitive retailing at its best.

Thank you @Fillybuster I think that will make some people v happy especially after the earlier news that spacenk aren't doing one this year. The HN one isn't for me, I don't think. I do like the Cora but that is the only draw for me.

Spiky Muse was in last year and escentric molecules (the first one) is just boring iso e, but apart from that it looks alright. I knew it would get released at some point - I do remember these releasing later in the season (yes, mid Oct is late season for ACs)

@beautyfox vogue was my first calendar in 2023 and I fear I've ruined myself forever with it 😆 it absolutely felt so luxurious and I loved opening it.

For anyone still looking for a men’s / grooming advent, this looks nice: https://www.youbeautyshop.co.uk/products/you-beauty-mens-12-days-of-christmas?utm_source=youbeauty&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mens_12_days_of_christmas&utm_content=email_20261007&st_profile=66e354190daaafcfa10f71c6&st_blast=47781686&oa_id=309316cb-23e0-4f9f-8897-bab0f3b5769e&utm_term=YB-Advent+%2B+YOU (do all men have itchy scalps? There seems to be a flaky / itchy scalp product in nearly all the grooming edits. This one’s a good size at least)

Liberty released a load of edits last October -it was the end of October as I was away in London for half term and came back laden with around 4 kits. They were all different ones, violette FR, mens, sleep and I think a scent one. The in laws thought I was barking.

And a HN BAC now online too!

It's not appealing to me either. I think I can pass on this one.

Contents of the HN beauty calendar. Looks quite similar to last year’s

Re SFAC. To clarify , is the latest thinking that we log on to the site , or is it the app , at various intervals tomorrow morning ? I joined selfridges unlocked 🔓 but am not even sure if it was the right bit . I might download the app tonight just in case .
Another school worker here , starting at 9 with no phone until my break at 11 😫
if I knew an exact time I could TRY to explain to my husband what to do as he works from home , but always seems to be on teams calls 😬 could he try on his phone whilst pretending to listen 🤔

Am I right in thinking the SFAC is gourmand / oud heavy?

Ive just been sorting my stash and came across the harvey nichols fragrance advent from last year. I didnt check if id took anything out. I presume not as bought 2 of it and 2 space nk. Gutted space nk aren't doing one but im not sure i need anymore. 🤣
Im glad they are doing one though 😍

Oh HN you sneaky little thing! 😁
They timed that release perfectly didn’t they 😅
I like the look of both the FAC and the BAC, obviously some bits I’d rather were something else, but for the FAC there’s a few I’ve managed to try already and some I like the sound of by the description.

I absolutely think we should line up a trip to Dublin next year…even if BT decide to ship to the UK by then 😁

Wow, it's all happening today. Fingers crossed for @JoRaRaRa and @OvaHere that their BT bacs are soon safely in their hands. Im pleased to see HN are stirring things up at the last minute, it will give me something to contemplate tomorrow if i cant get my sticky mitts on the SFAC. It was my birthday today 🥳 and I celebrated by going to the dentist so I think I deserve a belated birthday treat 🤞 (even though I was officially allowed my SBAC today)

Oh dear, I thought I was doing quite well with not buying much this year, but the HN fragrance calendar seems to have fallen into my basket. 🤣

Happy birthday @ClutteredPalace I hope you’ve had a lovely day (dentist visit aside)…you definitely deserve and advent-shaped treat 🥰

I'm happy to see both HN calendars even though I doubt I'll be buying either of them unless there are good discounts. The beauty one doesn't excite me and I have quite a few of the perfumes alreadybfrom the fragrance one. Takes the sting out of no SNK FAC, I guess.

Focus is now firmly on securing Selfridges FAC tomorrow!

I would wait. They reduced it by 30% for black friday last year and members got a further 10% knocked off. I got 40% off by waiting.

Happy birthday @ClutteredPalace!

Happy birthday @ClutteredPalace - hope the rest of your birthday was more fun than the dentist!

My BT is on the move….its official. I’m generally trying not to think about it too much in case it all goes horribly wrong, then every so often I remember again….eek…

Delighted to see the HN calendars appear. I’ll be watching with interest for any discounts, GWP etc that make them appeal.

I think I prefer the Fenwicks if the main appeal is the Cora; I’m not a fan of anything Vyrao and this seems (at first very quick glance) to be a significant contribution to the curations. I’ll look properly after the SFAC outcome is known 🤞.
