Chanel No.5 the calendar: £610, Chanel.com open image in gallery Chanel’s first-ever calendar is shaped like the brand’s most recognisable perfume bottle Rating: 4/10 4/10 Number of products inside: 27 27 Value for money: N/A The design Spoiler alert, but this is our favourite thing about the whole calendar. Of the nine beauty products featured, six of them are considered “full-size” – we say this, as the Chanel No.5 bottle is technically a full-size, but at 35ml, it’s the smallest bottle Chanel stocks. While some of these smaller trinkets would make cute keepsakes – the mini snow globe with a tiny bottle of Chanel No.5 inside is quite sweet, and the key ring which features a dangling No.5 bottle is a nice touch – most of these smaller items feel a bit like something you’d get inside a Christmas cracker, which is a huge shame given the price of the calendar. The verdict: Chanel’s beauty advent calendar We love the concept behind Chanel’s advent calendar debut, it feels both chic and classic, while still having that show-stopping factor when you open up the box.
