Should you buy the Jo Malone or Diptyque advent calendar? I got my hands on the two in-demand luxury calendars, and this is my verdict

Is there a better way to make the lead up to Christmas special than by opening an advent calendar and getting a little treat every day of December? I don’t think so. And I’m lucky enough that trying out some of the best alternative advent calendars is part of my job. This year, I managed to get my hands on the two ultimate luxury calendars – but when comparing the Jo Malone vs Diptyque advent calendar, which is better?

That’s what I’m going to try to answer here. Considering that both of these are two of the best advent calendars available on the market, it’s no easy feat. But they are also among the most pricey, with the Diptyque advent calendar retailing at £399 and the Jo Malone calendar selling for £360, so my expectations and standards are high, no excuses.
