Jo Malone London has released its 2026 Christmas Kist Advent Calendar, featuring a full-size bottle of a brand-new limited-edition scent. Priced at £395 but valued at £595, the calendar offers a saving of £200.
Housed in a high-end trunk, the calendar contains 25 colognes, candles, bath and body treats hidden inside crackers, ornaments and stockings. Each product has been chosen to be used individually or paired together as part of a ritual, allowing shoppers to mix, match and play to discover a new favourite or a unique pairing.
A Festive Mix of Scents and Wellness
The Christmas Kist Advent Calendar is not a typical fragrance advent calendar. Alongside year-round favourite colognes, there are limited-edition creations, wellness products and home luxuries to delight the senses every day before Christmas Day.
Among the contents is a 9ml bottle of Jo Malone's limited-edition Orange Bitters Cologne, described as a bright and zesty winter cocktail blending juicy sweet orange and fresh mandarin with a punchy, bitter citrus heart and a warm, cosy wood base. The calendar also includes a bottle of the popular Scarlet Poppy Cologne Intense, a warm, powdery floral fragrance with a rich, sweet and gourmand finish.
Full-Size New Scent Behind the Last Door
On Christmas Day, shoppers will find a 30ml bottle of Tangerine & Honey Cologne waiting behind the last door. A brand-new limited-edition scent for 2026, the fragrance opens with a juicy and zesty tangerine note that instantly uplifts and energises, blended with a smooth, cosy honey accord that softens the sharp citrus edge with a rich, golden sweetness. Warm and refreshing, the scent is particularly ideal for wearing during the festive season.
The calendar also includes bodycare treats such as a 50ml bottle of Peony & Blush Suede Body & Lotion, a 100ml tube of Wood Sage & Sea Salt Body & Hand Wash, and the brand's Ginger Biscuit Travel Candle.

Back at Jo Malone, the Christmas Kist Advent Calendar is yet to receive any reviews from shoppers. Scarlet Poppy Cologne Intense, on the other hand, boasts an overall star-rating of 4.3 out of five based on three reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "This smell reminds me of warm evening at the beach after a hot day. Don't know why, don't ask me but a few of my friends agreed on that. One of my favourite smells. If you like Black Opium Saint Laurent, and you like those kind of vibe - this is it. Warm. spicy and luxurious."
A second said: "A unique and captivating fragrance that everyone envies. Everyone notices and appreciates it; it is long-lasting and the scent is truly captivating." Someone else wasn't as impressed, giving Scarlet Poppy Cologne Intense a three-star review. They said: "By far my favourite scent ever, very cozy and sensual. The longevity is so non-existent that I won't be bying it again. Really unfortunate since there is no compariable scent out there."
