Dior, Louboutin, Diptyque… These gorgeous Advent calendars that give us Christmas before its time

Mariah Carey kicked things off with her traditional song All I want for Christmas! , stores have already set up their special section… Yes, Christmas is already around us. And like every year, the concept of the Advent calendar is important. Models laden with chocolates or beauty products seem to be outnumbered. Often limited editions that sell out quickly.

Because brands are betting a lot on this format, which attracts both loyal consumers and those who want to discover different products in reduced formats. And then there are the collector’s items that make you dream and that allow you to enjoy a little luxury that seems out of reach the rest of the year. Dior, Louboutin, Diptyque, Jo Malone… so many houses that combine exclusive formats in an expensive setting to be discovered day by day.

Exclusive year-end scents

At Louboutin, for example, different elements of the makeup collection are complemented by charm and perfume. As for the Dior calendar, it reproduces the façade of the legendary address at 30 rue Montaigne, a perfume miniature, a treatment and a beautiful decoration for a tree. In the Diptyque model, the candles stand out with grandeur, especially with the exclusive year-end scents Sapin, Flocon and Délice. With Jo Malone, the theme is ginger in a setting with colognes, miniatures for bath and body, as well as a full-size perfume and two travel candles.

And those who swear by skin care will choose models from La Mer, Dr Barbara Sturm, Shiseido or even Maison Valmont. Makeup lovers will be tempted by Charlotte Tilbury’s 2023 edition, which takes the form of jewelery to be recycled. Or in the form of a Bobby Brown Christmas ball.

Finally, for perfume lovers, we turn to L’Artisan Partemporel or even Penhaligon’s and its beautiful recycling cap to slip into baby gifts. Without forgetting Maison Francis Kurkdjian presenting a limited edition… After the calendar with its iconic trails and a surprise for the last box opening on December 31st.
