It may be early, but we’re fully in the swing of beauty advent calendar season. Alongside the usual beauty advent calendar launches of 2024, we’ve noticed that many brands have now launched dedicated perfume advent calendars. And I’m welcoming it. Whenever I’ve been lucky enough to have a beauty advent calendar, I always get the most excited about the perfumes and candles that are behind each door, so now we can enjoy those moments even more with fragrance advent calendars.

The best thing about perfume advent calendars is that they allow the chance to try and discover a mix of luxury and niche fragrances, as well as TikTok favourites, in a curated edit. Ranging from travel-sized minis that are ideal for throwing in your bag to full sized bottles, perfume advent calendars are often offer great value compared to buying the fragrances separately and allow you to sample lots of scents before investing in a full sized bottle.. And who doesn’t want to discover a new scent every day during the festive countdown?
