When it comes to the holidays, gifting fragrance is never a bad idea—and the best perfume advent calendars help introduce your loved ones (or yourself) to some yummy new scents they should have on their lineup. Whether you know that your bestie has been on the hunt for a new signature scent or you just want to treat someone in your life to the ~ finer things in life ~ there’s plenty of mini luxuries to be unboxed this season with advent calendars from Dior, Carolina Herrera, Christian Louboutin, and more.

Imagine a world where you get to uncover a new lil prezzie everyday—that’s the beauty of advent calenders, bbs! While getting some best-selling fragrances all on its own is already our ideal kind of gift idea, our favorite part about these is that some also come with a few candles and makeup items that make opening up the daily surprises *that* much better. Even though advent calendars are technically designed to be unboxed one day at a time, we promise we won’t tell if you (or your giftee) decide not to wait and open it all at once. It’s called the most wonderful time of the year for a reason!

Below, the most festive fragrance-filled advent calendars that are guaranteed to make your giftee feel like their most opulent self.
