What's inside the calendar?
The calendar includes a range of perfumes, body care, makeup, and even a votive candle. Highlights include the Clive Christian Original Collection No1 Feminine Parfum (10ml) and the Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Body Oil (100ml), which has received rave reviews from customers. One reviewer said: "The best. Absolutely gorgeous. I love love this oil, especially to use at night or before bed/sleep - it's so luxurious with such a beautiful relaxing and calming aromatherapy scent. It glides onto the skin so well and although it's an oil, it's surprisingly not super greasy, and it absorbs quite well/swiftly, so I am not worried about it on the sheets. The smell lasts on your skin a long time which I love!"
Another popular inclusion is the Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Body Butter (75ml), with one reviewer commenting: "Love this. I have used Sol de Janeiro products for over a year and love them. This body cream is thick, rich and smells divine. My skin is mature, 70 years young, and it makes it feel soft and smooth. All the scents are wonderful, soothing, invigorating and bring back youthful feelings and memories!"
Packaging and other advent calendars
Fortnum & Mason says the calendar's packaging is fully recyclable and can be reused and refilled year after year as part of an annual tradition. For those seeking other options, Sentier's Fragrance Advent Calendar 2026 costs £109 but is worth £529, including six fragrances and six scented candles. Meanwhile, the Macmillan 24 Doors Of Joy Beauty Advent Calendar is currently on offer at Boots, reduced from £90 to £44, featuring brands like Liz Earle and No7.
As the 2026 Fortnum's calendar has just launched, there are no reviews yet for this year's version. However, previous years' calendars have earned glowing reviews on Trustpilot. One shopper said: "Really lovely treat to myself. Fantastic way to try new products that I wouldn’t ordinarily splash out on." They added: "I would love a little bit more makeup and less haircare. The box is beautiful." Another noted: "I absolutely love this store but I live away from London now and have to use their website, which I could spend hours reading because of the variety of beautiful items. All products are always top class. I particularly love their beauty advent calendars."
