Is there anything more delightful than having something to look forward to? As those who celebrate Christmas can attest, the days and weeks leading up to December 25 (especially Christmas Eve) are often more exciting than the holiday itself. Hence, the allure of the advent calendar. With these curated sets, you get the anticipation of unwrapping a new little trinket every day. And with a luxury advent calendar, well… then you really have something to look forward to.
This year’s assortment includes Dior Beauty’s star-shaped Le 30 Montaigne; named and designed after the famous flagship, it contains luxe legends like J’Adore and Rouge Dior. Chanel’s Chalet features a mix of high-end ornaments and beauty treats, while YSL’s advent calendar is packed to the brim with fan-favorite bestsellers (including a couple of full-sized selects). For the fragrance lovers, Parfums de Marly, Jo Malone London, and Maison Francis Kurkdjian are all offering calendars that will allow you or a loved one to experiment with new scents throughout the season, while skin care aficionados will be eager to get their hands on lotions and potions from Augustinus Bader and Sisley Paris.
