LOEWE Perfumes is drawing on the cult visual world of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas for a new limited-edition fragrance and candle collection, launching on 12 November 2026.
Created in collaboration with Disney, the collection takes inspiration from the 1993 stop-motion film, translating its distinctive characters and gothic aesthetic into a series of collectable objects. The collaboration also highlights a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, with LOEWE looking to the film’s original sketches, articulated puppets and miniature sets as creative references.
Access to the film’s archive informed the designs, which centre on three characters: Cat Jack-in-the-Box, Toy Duck and Zero. Their likenesses appear across the limited-edition fragrance and candle offerings, bringing elements of the film’s handmade universe into LOEWE’s signature approach to design.
At the heart of the collection is Moonlight Eau de Parfum, a new gourmand and powdery fragrance built around notes of coconut, iris and warm amber. Designed to evoke the sweetness of festive treats, the scent is housed in a grey glass flask topped with a black cap inspired by a jack-in-the-box toy. A silver-toned Cat Jack-in-the-Box figure emerges from the lid, turning the bottle into a decorative collectible.
The collection also introduces three candles in LOEWE’s recognisable ribbed ceramic vessels, finished in black or grey glazes. Each is paired with a coloured lid in purple, silver or pale green and topped with one of the three character figures: Cat Jack-in-the-Box, Toy Duck or Zero.
All three candles share a crisp eucalyptus fragrance, with fresh, green and minty notes intended to conjure the film’s magical forest and its fictional Hinterlands setting.
First released more than three decades ago, The Nightmare Before Christmas has retained its cultural appeal through its distinctive visual language and painstaking stop-motion production. For LOEWE, the collaboration offers an opportunity to explore the relationship between fragrance, object design and the tactile processes behind both the film and the Spanish house’s own craft traditions.
The LOEWE Perfumes x Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas collection will be available in stores and online from 12 November 2026.
