Beauty advent calendars have rapidly increased in popularity over the last few years, with many of  us choosing to swap out the chocolate for a little touch of beauty in the run up to Christmas. With labels such as Charlotte Tilbury and Dior releasing their own calendars, it was about time beauty  powerhouse, Chanel, did the same. Launching in dedication to mark the 100th birthday of the  No.5 fragrance, the advent calendar is a collectible lover’s Christmas wish come true! What could  be better than waking up in the morning to open the door to a bunch of mini Chanel goodies?

The calendar itself is a beauty, exquisitely housed in the instantly recognisable silhouette of the  No.5 perfume bottle, which can even be kept as a keepsake box once the festive season has  been and gone. Featuring 27 numbered boxes, which you can start opening on December 5th and finish on December 31st, the calendar boasts a whole range of Chanel products, including  makeup, jewellery, Christmas ornaments, and of course, No.5 Eau de Parfum! 

The calendar is currently sold out, however it seems likely that it will be coming back in stock very soon. So, you better keep an eye out for a very Chanel Christmas! Available exclusively via Chanel and Harrods. 

Let the Christmas countdown begin!

To help celebrate the centennial of the brand this year, Chanel has released their Factory 5 Collection. Accommodating 17 limited-edition beauty products all housed in everyday objects (like paint cans, washing up bottles and shoe polish tins) this range is on course to become the ultimate collector’s items. Better yet, all products smell like the brand’s heritage scent – the fabulous Chanel No.5.

Explaining the thinking behind using mundane objects to front the collection, Thomas de Pre de Saint Maur – Chanel’s Head of Global Creative Resources said “There can be as much value in products that we use regularly as in products that we use for very special occasions. It’s all about the experience these products give you.”

Out today in key shopping cities around the globe, the brand is using experimental pop-ups to support the launch. Expect them to be “imagined as theme parks dedicated to N°5, immerse people in a world which mixes the black and white identity of N°5 and the bright colors of pop culture” as Chanel explains in a press release. “The experience is intended to be entertaining and offers a journey around the 17 products. In a factory setting, the public follows the product through the various production line workstations and ends its journey with a visit to the factory store where they can watch playful, offbeat demonstrations.”

Don’t worry if you struggle to access any major cities, as there will be a digital experience for those who can’t attend the pop-ups in person.
