Advent season has a way of slowing us down just enough to savour the small rituals that make December feel special. And every year, one of beauty’s most anticipated rituals is the unveiling of L’OCCITANE’s Luxury Advent Calendar. For 2025, the calendar returns with a storybook-like charm that taps into the brand’s Provençal roots and its flair for sensory escapism.
Illustrated by artist Julie Serre, this year’s calendar is inspired by the warm golden glow of Haute-Provence, where light dances across ancient stone and winter skies shimmer with soft pastels. It celebrates the tale of The Light Catcher, a character who wanders through the magical landscapes of Provence in search of beauty, joy, and illumination.
The calendar itself resembles a beautifully crafted Provençal townhouse; one that lights up metaphorically with each new drawer you open. Behind its 24 doors are “sensorial moments” designed to capture the region’s spirit: hydrating skincare, aromatic body care, iconic hand creams and indulgent favourites infused with nature’s rhythm and the richness of the earth.
What’s Inside
L’OCCITANE is known for its elevated minis and generous sizes, and this year’s Luxury Advent Calendar leans into that promise. You’ll find:
- A selection of best-selling Almond, Shea Butter and Verbena favourites
- Iconic hand creams in nourishing winter-ready textures
- Indulgent bath and body treats
- Immortelle skincare essentials
- A variety of sensorial extras that make each morning feel like a beauty ritual rather than a simple unboxing
Each drawer reveals a “story shaped by L’OCCITANE’s savoir-faire,” a reminder that beauty becomes more meaningful when it feels crafted, intentional and rooted in place.
Why It’s Worth It
This calendar is not about volume or gimmicks; it’s about storytelling, craftsmanship and sensorial escape. Priced at £149 (now £120), it offers:
- A chance to experience the breadth of L’OCCITANE’s heritage collections
- A beautifully illustrated keepsake box (many fans repurpose theirs as décor)
- Premium minis that are ideal for travel or discovery
- A daily pause for aromatherapy, texture, and Provençal warmth
For long-time L’OCCITANE lovers, it’s a celebration of the brand’s most iconic formulas. For newcomers, it’s an introduction to Provence – its ingredients, its artistry, and its light.
While we’re already a few days into Advent (as December has a habit of sneaking up on us), it’s not too late to indulge in the magic or to gift someone the joy of discovering L’OCCITANE one day at a time.
The 2025 Luxury Advent Calendar feels like more than a countdown. It’s a sensorial journey, a keepsake, and a beautifully crafted celebration of Provence’s radiant spirit. Get it here
