Harrods has revealed the contents of its 2026 beauty advent calendar, which features 34 products – including 21 full-size buys – making it the department store's largest and most luxurious countdown to date. The price has increased by £20 to £270, but the retailer has added two extra products and boosted the full-size count from 14 to 21 compared to last year.
The lineup balances iconic luxury names such as La Prairie, Augustinus Bader, and Sisley with newer brands like Skin Cycles, U Beauty, and Sync Beauty. The category split has been expertly curated, with make-up, fragrance, and haircare receiving more attention alongside Harrods' trademark skincare offering. Highlights include Charlotte Tilbury, Gucci Beauty, and Nars for make-up, and Philip Kingsley and Moncho Moreno for haircut.
A 15ml pot of Augustinus Bader's the rich eye cream, Shiseido's future solution LX cream, and a Montale fragrance are among the standout items. If bought outright in the featured sizes, these three items alone would cost more than the entire advent calendar (£273). Harrods has also announced accompanying 12 Days of Fragrance and 12 Days of Hair & Body advent calendars, both of which sold out in 2025.
The 12 Days of Fragrance calendar is priced at £225 and includes seven full-size bottles and four Harrods-exclusive scents from niche houses such as Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Initio, and Parfums de Marly. The 12 Days of Hair & Body calendar costs £99 and features nine full-size products from brands including Sol de Janeiro, Kérastase, and Color Wow, along with a few beauty treats like spot patches.
