Looking for a holiday gift for a fragrance lover? Or a young person who is searching for their signature scent?
Scentbird, the monthly fragrance subscription company, has introduced their Advent Calendar for 2024. A 12 Day Calendar is a fun way to get introduced to a dozen designer and niche brand samples. It’s also a good way to be introduced to Scentbird’s subscription service!
Here’s their description of the 2024 Calendar:
“Indulge in 12 days of holiday cheer with this fragrance-focused advent calendar, filled with 12 designer scents each housed in 1.5 ml vials. Whether you choose to open one scent each day, or the entire calendar at once, festive and fragrant surprises await behind each door, and include designers you know and love like Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Prada among many others. This advent calendar is the perfect gift for any scent-obsessed person on your list (yourself included!) or a friend who wants to explore a world of fragrance.”
The Advent Calendar is a limited edition. It’s a small “book” with the 12 doors just waiting to be opened. If you or your giftee can’t wait and feel the need to know what’s coming, Scentbird includes a list and description of each of the scents.
The fragrances included are:
- Bright Crystal Absolu by Versace
- Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana
- Candy by Prada
- Not A Perfume by Juliette Has A Gun
- Rain by Commodity
- Sugarful by Michel Germain
- Cherry Punk by Room 105
- Get A Room by Confessions Of A Rebel
- Xtra Milk by Dedcool
- Not Your Girl by Deck of Scarlet
- Violet Gem by Catherine Malandrino
From each 1.5 ml vial, I have been getting about 5 or 6 sprays out of each 1.5 ml vial, enough to determine if it’s a keeper or not.
Plus, you don’t have to be a Scentbird subscriber to buy it as a gift or for yourself. The scents are IMHO a mix of gender-neutral and more feminine fragrances. It’s sold on the Scentbird website and priced at $65. On the back of the “book” is a place to include your holiday message.
My favorites from the 2024 Calendar are:
- Cherry Punk: a fabulous mix of sweet cherry and tobacco. I love it!
- Violet Gem: perfect to wear in the early spring
- Rain: a fresh scent
- Not Your Girl: a wild scent with a myriad of notes: “a shot of rum, balanced by creamy sensual peach. Jasmine mingles with spicy cardamom, while the heady mix of patchouli and amber add an air of mystery”
And if I had to narrow it down, Cherry Punk and Not Your Girl will go on my fragrance wish list. Maybe I will re-up my subscription and put a bunch of these on my list! You don’t have to subscribe monthly, since my last subscription was 4x a year.
For gift-givers, this year’s calendar provides a wonderful mix. What a wonderful way to build up to the Christmas holiday! Or you could give it as a Hanukkah gift with an extra 4 days beyond the 8 days for scent-lovers like me!
What stood out to me was that each 1.5 ml vial gives you about 5 or 6 sprays (yes, I figured it out!), so you really get a good sense of whether each fragrance is your vibe (or not.) Talk about a steal in the world of fragrances!
Couldn’t agree more!
Ooh. A fragrance advent calendar sounds amazing to me! I love that you can get a little bit of actual mileage out of these, too!
At least enough to make a decision about each scent!
I love this! I’m a big fan of fragrances, so opening a new one every day sounds like so much fun!
I absolutely adore this advent calendar. You get to try so many scents, and they’re not just one and done. That’s really great!
Thanks, Leanne. I agree, the Scentbird vials give you enough to find out whether each fragrance is for you or not. And there’s always tomorrow!
Oh my gosh, this advent calendar is so beautiful. This is definitely a perfect gift to give this holiday!
Thank you, Amy. It’s definitely an idea for scent-lovers!
That is a spectacular gift! Wow!!! I want that and I don’t even celebrate Christmas!
I was thinking that Scentbird did a good job with the snowflakes and blue color making it an appropriate gift for Hanukkah or just the season in general!
Hhhhmmm….I love this. I would like to have some “rain” for that fragrance. Thank you for this calendar.
This offering from Scentbirds will be a great gift for my friends (and myself!). The price tag is reasonable and this is a nice way to try out new fragrances.
I thought the price point on the Scentbird Advent Calendar was reasonable too. A fun gift for the fragrance-obsessed, like me!
This Advent Calendar is a dream for fragrance lovers! I love how each day offers a new scent adventure, making the holidays feel even more special.
Couldn’t agree with you more Barbie!
Neet! I have never had of a scent advent calendar. I have a few relatives that would love this.
Hope the Scentbird Calendar gave you a new idea!
Advent calendars are such a fun way to count down the season. Love how this one brings a unique twist!
I agree, Matt!
Totally loving the color and looks like a great advent calendar to check out.
I agree, Angela! It makes a wonderful gift for fragrance lovers!
Perfume samples are a great way to go! This is such a fun idea for an advent calendar, and a wonderful way to grow your perfume collection and try new scents.
