GUERLAIN
Dior
Dior steps into the holiday season with a flourish of imagination, unveiling its “Circus of Dreams” theme, a whimsical universe where beauty, nostalgia, and artistry collide. This festive world, conceived by the House as a place of wonder and spectacle, becomes the backdrop for a dazzling makeup collection crafted by Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup.
Infused with the spirit of the circus, the collection reimagines Dior’s most iconic products in bold, luminous forms. Golden compacts gleam like spotlights, flamboyant pigments sweep across the palette like performers in motion, and shimmering finishes echo the magic of sequins twirling beneath a tent of light. Each piece feels like a keepsake from an enchanted performance, playful yet refined, luxurious yet full of childlike delight.
“The circus is a never-ending source of inspiration,” Peter Philips reflects. “Its swirl of colours and sequins takes you back to childhood, to a world of magicians, trapeze artists, and tightrope walkers performing under the spotlight.” This sense of joyful escapism runs through the entire collection, inviting wearers to step into a fantasy and rediscover the thrill of transformation.
Charlotte Tilbury
Charlotte Tilbury’s festive universe arrives this year with even greater sparkle, supercharging the founder’s mission to empower everyone to look and feel like their most confident, radiant selves. For the holidays, the makeup artist–turned–global beauty phenomenon presents a collection designed not only to beautify but to inspire, wrapped in a constellation of star-studded fantasy.
At the heart of the campaign is the Magic Gifting Universe, a treasure trove of viral icons, best-sellers and award-winning formulas reimagined as keepsakes for every beauty lover. From party-ready essentials to elevated stocking fillers, the lineup is crafted to surprise, delight, and make beauty gifting effortless.
This year’s standout is Charlotte’s Beauty Treasure Chest, the brand’s most extravagant advent calendar to date. Filled with Tilbury favourites and coveted miniatures, it transforms each day of December into a luxurious countdown. Equally dazzling is the arrival of Star Confidence, the newest addition to the Fragrance Collection of Emotions. Inspired by Celine Tilbury’s signature aura, the scent is designed to bottle that unmistakable “star confidence,” giving wearers a luminous, uplifting energy.
Every element of the collection, from the formulas to the finishing touches, carries Charlotte’s exclusive Star Confidence constellation design. Mystical unicorns, magic keys, celestial flames and astral motifs dance across the packaging, turning each piece into a collectable object. Keepsake tins, sparkling baubles, metallic clutch bags, and the show-stopping treasure chest elevate the unboxing into an experience.
Guerlain
Guerlain welcomes the festive season with one of its most enchanting celebrations yet. A storyteller since 1828, the Maison unveils a holiday world where art, fragrance, and fantasy intertwine, transforming gifting into a moment of pure wonder. Fragrance sits at the heart of this year’s spectacle, with icons such as the Bee Bottle and Shalimar reimagined in radiant new forms. Artist Mélissandre Vidal brings the Maison’s Advent Calendar to life through a sculptural paper tableau, where origami forests and celestial scenes unfold behind a deep red cover, revealing 25 treasures spanning fragrance, skincare, and makeup.
Guerlain’s tradition of “Exceptional Pieces” continues through a remarkable collaboration with sculptor Géraldine Gonzalez, who lends her mastery of metal, crystal, and mother-of-pearl to a breathtaking one-litre Bee Bottle crowned with a gilded crescent moon. Limited to 64 pieces, it glows on a mirrored base like a celestial artefact. For Shalimar’s centenary, a monumental 1.5-litre edition further elevates the iconic fragrance. The Maison also extends this artistic spirit to Rouge G with the limited Tale of Stars case, a mirrored, star-studded design available in 670 editions.
A new origami-inspired collection rounds out the season, with sculptural cases in shades of white, gold, and silver. Highlights include the star-engraved Rouge G Stellar lipstick, a luminous Ombres G quad in gold and silver, special-edition Météorites pearls with a new star-shaped bead, two shimmering KissKiss Bee Glow Oil shades, and the radiant Terracotta Luminizer Rosy Gleam.
Chanel
This winter, Chanel looks to the stars and its most emblematic symbols, the lion, camellia, comet, wheat, and pearls. Together, they guide this season’s constellation of fragrance creations, offering an invitation to gift with meaning and intention
At the heart of the collection are two exquisite limited-edition body oils, each designed to illuminate the skin with a soft celestial glow. N°5 The White Gold Body Oil enhances the sensuality of the legendary floral bouquet, capturing it in a sleek bottle filled with pearlescent particles toned in white gold. It is an elegant reinterpretation of one of the most recognisable fragrances in history, transformed into a ritual of radiance.
Meanwhile, Coco Mademoiselle Pearly Body Oil offers a fresh burst of energy, echoing the ambery brightness of the beloved fragrance. Housed in a glass bottle that reveals a swirl of iridescent shimmer, it drapes the skin in a satiny finish infused with notes of vibrant orange, jasmine, rose, and refined patchouli. Sensual and luminous, it reflects the spirit of the Coco Mademoiselle woman, bold yet effortlessly refined.
Chanel also unveils a series of collector-edition fragrances, each encased in shimmering sleeves that echo the season’s celestial theme. N°5 Eau de Parfum, Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum, and Chance Eau Splendide Eau de Parfum appear in pearly white cases accented with golden and silvery touches, turning each bottle into an object of desire. For men, Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum and Allure Homme Sport Eau de Toilette receive deep-blue holiday sleeves with the same metallic details, evoking the quiet mystery of a winter sky.
Byredo
Byredo captures the Nordic winter atmosphere with its 2025 holiday collection. Set against sweeping mountain backdrops, the campaign imagines an otherworldly scene: sleighs gliding across crisp snow, delivering beautifully wrapped gifts to a perfume-bottle-shaped igloo, while families gather outside to sculpt snowmen and share laughter in the cold. It is a moment distilled to its essence — connection, generosity and the small rituals that make winter feel meaningful.
The collection itself mirrors that sense of wonder. Dressed in vibrant graphic patterns inspired by childhood nostalgia and the tactile joy of festive wrapping, each box becomes an object of celebration. At its heart is the standout Advent Calendar, a sculptural three-tier bento box hiding 24 miniature treasures. More than a countdown, it encourages a slower rhythm to the season, offering a daily ritual of discovery. Inside are miniature editions of signature Eau de Parfum scents such as Blanche, Gypsy Water, Mojave Ghost and Bal d’Afrique, alongside Chromophobia Lip Balm, travel hair perfume, candles, creams and a sleek pocket mirror.
Byredo also introduces Winter Cabin, a limited-edition candle designed to evoke the warmth of firewood after snowfall. In smoked glass, it blends birch, vetiver, patchouli and amber into a scent that feels both raw and comforting — a fragrant reflection of evenings spent indoors as snow settles outside.
Extending beyond fragrance, the Byproduct Holiday Collection brings the same joyful energy into lifestyle pieces. Glass ornaments, generous blankets and woven scarves appear in seasonal shades of blue, green and grenadine, all accented with crisp white patterns. Each piece is crafted as a collectable, designed to carry the sensory spirit of the holidays into the home.
Acqua Di Parma
Acqua di Parma’s Holiday 2025 collection journeys to the Dolomites, taking inspiration from the iconic peak of Antelao and the quiet poetry of the alpine winter. Serving as a metaphor for rugged landscapes and centuries-old craft, the season unfolds through a contemporary lens shaped by architect and designer Cristina Celestino, whose creative direction reinterprets traditional mountain techniques into sculptural ceramic objects.
Anchoring the line-up are limited-edition Masterpieces: refillable fragrance bottles in glazed porcelain, finished in shades that echo the mountain’s palette, their hammered textures and wooden caps nod to traditional alpine artisanship. Seasonal candles and diffusers in scents such as Bosco, Panettone, and the new Torrone appear in brushed porcelain vessels, each finished with hand-applied textures and engraved wooden lids that double as display bases. Their fragrances evoke the forest, festive treats, and alpine air with notes ranging from fir needles to toasted pistachio.
Acqua di Parma’s Art of Living collection also expands with two standout creations. The Alpine Holiday Advent Calendar turns the Maison’s signature hatbox into an object of quiet luxury, handcrafted in white bouclé and calfskin, while the Alpine Holiday Chess Set reimagines a classic game through fine Italian woodworking, complete with lacquered pieces and hidden fragrance vials. The Maison also introduces new iterations of its sculptural Chapeau! candles, each one crowned with a hat-like ceramic lid and infused with exclusive seasonal scents inspired by alpine destinations.
