The Best Fragrance Advent Calendars Of 2024
It might feel like we're jumping the gun, but let's be real—fragrance advent calendars are one of the most exciting parts of the holiday season. This year, more brands than ever are getting in on the action, offering up calendars packed exclusively with perfumes, and I, for one, am absolutely here for it. I’ve always had a soft spot for the mini fragrance vials tucked into beauty advent calendars, so a whole calendar dedicated to perfumes? Yes, please.
Fragrance advent calendars let you dive into the world of luxury and niche perfumes, giving you the chance to experiment with a range of scents without committing to full bottles. From tiny travel-size sprays that slip easily into your purse to full-sized surprises, they’re a more affordable—and much more fun—way to explore fragrance. And who wouldn’t love waking up to a new scent every day in the lead-up to the holidays?
What makes them even more exciting is the variety they offer. Depending on which brand you go for, you’ll get a carefully curated selection that might include cult classics or even TikTok sensations. If you're lucky, you'll get a mix of perfumes, candles, and maybe even some scented body care. Diptyque, for example, doesn’t just stop at their signature eau de toilette—they throw in candles and luxurious body products, too. Meanwhile, retailers like Harvey Nichols are showcasing top-tier names like Byredo and Parfums de Marly. This year’s advent calendars are elevating the fragrance experience beyond just perfume.
Now, if you’re wondering how we decided which ones made the cut for the best fragrance advent calendars of 2024, we’ve done the work for you. As beauty editors with an eye (and nose) for the best, we managed to get a sneak peek at some of the most anticipated releases. We’ve examined the value of each calendar, noting how many full-sized products are included, and whether they offer a mix of fragrance with makeup, skincare, and other treats. So whether you’re a perfume connoisseur or just looking for a new favourite, you’ll be well-prepared to grab one of the best fragrance advent calendars before they inevitably sell out.
