Fortnum & Mason’s beauty advent calendar 2026

Fortnum & Mason’s 2026 beauty advent calendar comes in the retailer’s traditional wooden keepsake chest finished in iconic eau de nil and gold accents and this year’s offering bring together 25 days of pampering from world-class artisan houses.

At £275, it sits right in the luxury bracket.

However, with a combined contents value of more than £1,225, we think it delivers an outstanding ratio of full-sized products from some of the most exclusive niche beauty labels in the world.

What’s inside the Fortnum’s beauty advent calendar 2026?

Fortnum’s has taken a distinct approach to its 2026 line-up by offering an unheard-of 24 full-sized products out of 25.

Rather than giving you mini samples that run out by New Year, almost every single drawer contains a proper standalone retail bottle or jar.

Skincare and fragrance highlights

• Wildsmith Copper Peptide Cream (50ml, full size): A high-performance botanical facial cream designed to boost collagen and elasticity
• Clive Christian Original Collection No1 Feminine Parfum (10ml, full size): A genuinely extravagant spray from one of Britain’s premier fragrance names
• Gallivant Abu Dhabi Eau de Parfum (30ml, full size): Rich, amber-led and surprisingly cosy. It suits crisp, chilly nights out
• Wildsmith Radiance Light Serum (30ml, full size): A targeted treatment serum engineered to restore glow to dull skin
• Bamford Nurturing Face Oil (30ml, full size): An organic, soothing face oil crafted for cold-weather skin barrier protection.

We think the fragrance and skincare selection this year feels genuinely indulgent, skipping mass-market formulas in favour of true boutique luxury.

Bath, body and wellness treats

• Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Body Oil (100ml, full size): Packed with arnica and ginger to soothe tight, overworked muscles after a long week
• Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Body Butter (75ml, full size): A thick, sweet-smelling formula that locks in moisture when cold weather dries your skin out
• Delilah Smooth Shadow Stick in Pink Champagne (1.4g, full size): A soft, shimmery cream shadow you can smudge across your lids in seconds using just a finger
• Shleep Merino Silk Knit Short Socks: Soft, breathable bed socks made from a merino wool and silk blend to keep your feet warm on chilly nights.

Having a cosy pair of silk socks alongside bath oils and rose votive candles really emphasizes the self-care spirit Fortnum’s is famous for. We really liked them!

Release date & pre-order information

The Fortnum’s Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 is available to order now via the official Fortnum & Mason website.

Calendar orders ship from mid-October but keep in mind that Fortnum & Mason charges £5.95 for standard UK delivery across the board, so there isn’t a threshold for free postage here.

And given that nearly every item in this box is full-sized, stock tends to sell out well ahead of December.

Price & is it worth the money?

The 2026 calendar comes in at £275, which is a modest £10 increase on last year’s £265 price tag.

However, with total contents valued at more than £1,225, you are paying roughly 22% of the total retail worth.

Is it worth buying?

Our beauty advent experts at Christmas.co.uk think it offers exceptional value for money.

For example, just the Wildsmith Copper Peptide Cream and Clive Christian Parfum alone cover a massive chunk of the purchase price.

When you factor in that 24 items are full-sized, you won’t feel like you’ve spent £275 on mere travel miniatures.

How does it compare to last year?

While we were big fans of last year’s edition, Fortnum & Mason has refined the balance for 2026.

The price has risen by £10 but the total declared value has jumped from £1,149 to more than £1,225.

What really stands out for us is the proportion of full-sized products.

Last year gave us 23 full-sized items out of 26 products, whereas this year delivers 24 full-sized items out of 25.

We noticed a subtle shift in the brand curation too.

Alongside returning favourites like Bramley, Aromatherapy Associates and Delilah, Fortnum’s has introduced fresh niche names like Granado, Jean Charles Brosseau and Benamôr for an exciting discovery element.

Christmas.co.uk’s final verdict
