The Legendary Diptyque Advent Calendar Is Back for the 2026 Season
Fragrance fanatics, our time has come.
It doesn’t take much for me to jump on a Diptyque launch, but when the brand drops its seasonal items every year, I go a little feral. Today, October 8, marks the official rollout of the brand’s 2026 holiday collection and, thankfully, the advent calendar is the first of a slew of launches.
Like last year’s fairytale theme, the 2026 calendar is called the Enchanted Forest, and every aspect of the collection celebrates it. Each product in the 25-day advent calendar comes in a wooden box inspired by traditional woodworking. In fact, the entire collection is a collaboration with artist Jean-Simon Roch, renowned for his interactive wooden mechanisms and theatrical installations. The brainchild of this collaboration is an absolutely adorable decorative box that houses all 25 items featured in the calendar, with wooden animal and tree figurines artfully scattered across every inch.
Now for the good stuff: what’s actually in the advent calendar? To keep some element of surprise, I won't tell you everything in this year's calendar. Still, you can expect a range of scented candles in scents like Sapin and Feu de Bois, eau de parfums in popular scents (see: Orphéon and Fleur de Peau), body care, refillable lip balms, and more.
This calendar basically marks the start of the holiday season for me, and while I can’t say too much more, expect the rest of the launch to see the return of a few favorites like the brand’s beloved Beis scent in new formats, candle toppers that any home-scent and decor lover would freak out over, and additional decorative items that will make your space look and feel like the chicest holiday wonderland known to man over the next few weeks.
At $525, this calendar sits on the more luxurious side of the holiday gifting spectrum, but as a Diptyque aficionado, I’ve never tried a product from this brand that I disliked, so I’m confident it’s worth the price. More is coming from the 2026 Enchanted Forest holiday collection, but if you can’t wait to get your hands on a few goodies, see below for the Diptyque products I swear by for soft, supple skin and a beautifully scented home.
My Favorite Diptyque Products
Who doesn't want their house to smell like vanilla?
This body lotion is just as strong as the eau de parfum.
I love this perfume so much that I dream about it sometimes.
