Scent Lovers Rejoice, The Jo Malone Advent Calendar Is Finally Here, And You Won't Want To Miss Ou

Christmas is filled with more than its fair share of enticing scents. The woody pine of your tree twinkling in the corner, earthy nutmeg being grated over bread sauce; somewhere, something baking in the oven.

If there’s one time of year that calls for the olfactory, it’s December. If you’ve been in the UK for more than a second, you undoubtedly will have come across iconic Jo Malone fragrances, like Lime Basil & Mandarin or Myrrh and Tonka.

So it makes perfect sense that British perfumer powerhouse has created an Advent calendar with 25 days of scents to play with.

Boxed inside a ‘luxurious trunk’, the calendar (which is out now) offers scent lovers a treat a day, from perfume, to cologne, scented candles, shower gel, and more.

Each offering comes inside a tree or table ornament, so you won’t have to throw all the packaging out afterwards. 

Not only is each tartan-wrapped container home to a new daily scent, but it also contains a mix of classic Jo Malone scents and seasonal ones designed specifically for this calendar.

And while it costs just £375, the whole thing is worth £595 – that £220 saving means it’s an Advent calendar scent collectors won’t want to miss.

Unlike other beauty Advent calendars, Jo Malone is keeping what’s inside each drawer under wraps (we love an element of surprise). But from an early glimpse, we can spot classic Jo Malone scents like Lime Basil & Mandarin in the form of a body wash, and English Pear & Freesia hair mist.

Then there are exclusive Christmas scents like a spicy Ginger Biscuit candle (inside the amber glass) to add to your seasonal scentscaping.

And, as if a gift a day wasn’t enough, you’ll also get a surprise full-sized fragrance on day 25, as a Christmas treat to yourself. 

Plus, the trunk can be used as a jewellery container once you’ve opened all 25 days, making that £375 really work hard for its worth.

Because of that, it’s absolutely no surprise that this Advent calendar sells out every year, so if you want to get your hands on one it’s really a sooner rather than later game. 

Don’t worry though: if you do miss out (or don’t want to splash out £375 on an Advent calendar), Jo Malone will release an entire Tartan Tales collection in the run-up to Christmas, so you’ll be able to stock up on seasonal scents no matter what.
