Maison Margiela REPLICA Perfume Advent Calendar 2026: Release Date, Price & Where to Buy

Maison Margiela REPLICA 7-Day Holiday Calendar 2026 with Jazz Club bottle, minis and tubes on newspapers with fairy lights

Maison Margiela's REPLICA 7-Day Holiday Calendar 2026 is a perfume advent calendar of five REPLICA eaux de toilette and two body products. It costs $140 in the US and was first reported on sale there on 8 September 2026, so it is not a new launch. What has changed is wider UK and European availability, where Notino UK lists it at £93.50 and the listed contents differ from the US descriptions.

Updated 13 October 2026: in stock at Notino UK, Notino Poland and parfumdreams UK, and listed at Notino Germany, Notino France, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Maison Margiela REPLICA Advent Calendar Launch?

Maison Margiela hasn't announced an official release date. US blogs reported the calendar on sale on 8–9 September 2026 (Subscription Box Ramblings, then Hello Subscription). UK coverage followed on 12 October 2026 (Beauty Detective). On 13 October 2026 it was in stock at Notino UK, Notino Poland and parfumdreams UK.

Price

  • US: $140. Bloomingdale's product name gives a "$169 value", meaning Bloomingdale's puts the items' combined value at $169.
  • UK: £93.50 at Notino UK; £102.95 at parfumdreams UK.
  • Europe: €103 at Notino Germany; €96 at Notino France; 525 zł at Notino Poland.

What's Inside

The calendar has seven items. Notino UK, parfumdreams UK and Beauty Detective list five eaux de toilette and two body-care products. Notino lists the three miniatures as 5 ml rather than 7 ml. US blogs describe a different mix that includes two candles:

The brand's own product photos show the eau de toilette and body-care version with no candles. The US version that ships may therefore differ from the US descriptions.

Maison Margiela REPLICA Advent Calendar Fragrance Notes

Maison Margiela hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for these scents. The retailer description quoted by Hello Subscription highlights these key notes:

  • Jazz Club: pink pepper, rum absolute, tobacco leaf absolute
  • Lazy Sunday Morning: lily of the valley, iris, white musk
  • By the Fireplace: clove oil, chestnut accord, vanilla accord
  • Chasing Sunsets (per Nuvole di Bellezza): mango, tuberose, sandalwood

The sources give no notes for Never-ending Summer.

What Does the Maison Margiela REPLICA Calendar Smell Like?

Based on those notes, Jazz Club combines spice with rum and tobacco, and Lazy Sunday Morning is a floral musk. By the Fireplace pairs clove with chestnut and vanilla. Hello Subscription describes the REPLICA fragrances as a "reproduction of familiar scents and moments of varying locations and periods", with a "nostalgic, comforting" mood. For another single-scent release from the same REPLICA fragrance line, see our post on Maison Margiela REPLICA Afternoon Delight Eau de Toilette.

The 2024 details come from Notino UK's listing for that year. Both editions have seven items. The 2026 edition drops the candles and makes Jazz Club its largest item.

Where to Buy

Checked 13 October 2026: in stock at Notino UK, Notino Poland and parfumdreams UK. It is listed at Notino Germany, Notino France, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's. It was not found in searches of Sephora US, Selfridges, Harrods, John Lewis or Lookfantastic.

  • US: listed at Nordstrom ($140) and Bloomingdale's. Advent.center reported it in stock at Nordstrom on 5 October 2026 and not on the brand's own US site.
  • UK: Notino UK (£93.50, in stock); parfumdreams UK (£102.95, in stock)
  • Canada: Not yet confirmed
  • Europe: Notino Germany (€103, listed); Notino France (€96, listed); Notino Poland (525 zł, in stock)
  • Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the Maison Margiela REPLICA Calendar Different?

  • The doors are numbered 25 to 31, so the calendar counts down from Christmas to New Year. Notino lists it as a "New Year's countdown calendar".
  • Its largest item is a 30 ml Jazz Club Eau de Toilette.
  • Lazy Sunday Morning appears three times, as an eau de toilette, a hand cream and a shower gel, so the same scent can be layered.

Packaging

  • Box: the box uses a newsprint "classified ads" design with a gold label, Bianchetto overpaint and embossed Maison Margiela-style numbers, according to the retailer description quoted by Hello Subscription.
  • Archive reference: Nuvole di Bellezza reports that the design recalls the brand's Fall/Winter 1989 invitation, which was printed in a free newspaper.

Other fragrance calendars this season include the Byredo Advent Calendar 2026 and the Jo Malone London 12 Days Advent Calendar 2026. You can also browse all fragrance releases.

Barbie x Brown Girl Jane Encore Perfume: Release Date, Price, Notes & Where to Buy

Encore Limited-Edition Barbie x Brown Girl Jane Eau de Parfum bottle in peach frosted glass on whipped cream

Barbie x Brown Girl Jane Encore Eau de Parfum is a limited-edition gourmand scent with notes of spiced biscuit, crème brûlée, tonka bean and ambrox. Sephora US lists the perfume at $102, with a $30 travel size. According to a pre-launch Instagram post, Encore is set to launch on 23 October 2026 across platforms, with first access in the Sephora app on 22 October 2026.

Updated 13 October 2026: listed at Sephora US ($102 and $30, online only); not yet on browngirljane.com. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Encore is the second Barbie™ x Brown Girl Jane scent tied to Barbie™ in The Nutcracker, after HALO. For more dessert-inspired launches, see our gourmand coverage.

When Does the Brown Girl Jane Encore Perfume Launch?

Brown Girl Jane hasn't announced an official release date on its own site. According to a pre-launch Instagram post from a fragrance creator, Encore is set to launch on 22 October 2026 in the Sephora app (US), then on 23 October 2026 on all platforms. Sephora US already lists both the full size and the travel size as "New", "Limited Edition" and "Online Only".

Price

  • Full size: $102 at Sephora US
  • Travel size: $30 at Sephora US

Sephora hasn't confirmed the bottle sizes for Encore in any source we could read. UK and European prices have not been announced.

Brown Girl Jane Encore Fragrance Notes

Brown Girl Jane hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid. Its campaign images highlight four key notes: spiced biscuit, crème brûlée, tonka bean and velvety ambrox.

The pre-launch Instagram post shared a fuller breakdown. This list did not come from the brand:

  • Top: spice cookie, caramelized sugar
  • Heart: vanilla, praline, coconut crème brûlée
  • Base: tonka bean, ambrox, musk, golden amber

What Does Brown Girl Jane Encore Smell Like?

Going by the brand's key notes, Encore opens on spiced biscuit, moves into crème brûlée, and settles on tonka bean and ambrox. Brown Girl Jane hasn't named a fragrance family, but the notes place it among gourmand scents. The brand's campaign card quotes Malaika, Brown Girl Jane's founder: "Encore captures the indulgent side of Barbie™ in The Nutcracker: rich, enveloping and deliciously decadent."

The biscuit note also appears in Jo Malone London Ginger Biscuit Cologne, another holiday scent. For a creamy dessert theme, see PHLUR Heavy Cream Eau de Parfum.

Both scents are limited editions linked to Barbie™ in The Nutcracker, which HALO marks for its 25th anniversary. They are listed at the same prices. Encore moves from HALO's fruity floral to a dessert-led gourmand.

Where to Buy

  • US: Sephora ($102); Sephora travel size ($30). Sephora currently lists both as online only. Not yet listed on browngirljane.com.
  • UK: Not yet confirmed
  • Canada: Not yet confirmed
  • Europe: Not yet confirmed
  • Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 13 October 2026: listed at Sephora US ($102 and $30, online only); not yet on browngirljane.com.

Browse more launches in our fragrance section.

What Makes the Encore Perfume Different?

  • It is the second Barbie™ x Brown Girl Jane scent tied to Barbie™ in The Nutcracker, according to the founder's campaign quote.
  • It is a dessert-note gourmand, while HALO is a fruity floral.
  • It has a staged launch, starting in the Sephora app before opening on all platforms.

Formula and Packaging

  • Encore Eau de Parfum: the brand's key notes are spiced biscuit, crème brûlée, tonka bean and ambrox. The images show a frosted peach-pink round bottle with a domed peach cap, printed "Barbie x BROWN GIRL jane / ENCORE".
  • Encore Travel Size: the same scent, shown in a slim pink-and-rose-gold spray pen.

The campaign images show the bottle among spiced biscuits, crème brûlée and caramel shards. Another shot shows a model in pink feathers in a pink velvet theatre.

Gisou Cherry Chocolate Hair Perfume: Price, Notes, Size & Where to Buy

Gisou Cherry Chocolate Honey Infused Hair Perfume bottle beside lip oil, lip mask and chocolate-dipped cherries on deep red

Gisou Cherry Chocolate Honey Infused Hair Perfume is a gourmand hair perfume with notes of red cherry, honey nectar and velvety chocolate. It costs $25 (US), £20 (UK) and €23 (EU) for 15ml on gisou.com, and is also sold at Sephora and Space NK. Sephora US was selling it by 28 September 2026. It belongs to Gisou's Cherry Chocolate fall collection, alongside a lip oil and a lip mask.

Updated 13 October 2026: Price, size and stockists are now confirmed. The hair perfume is in stock on gisou.com in the US, UK and EU, and is listed at Sephora US, Sephora Canada and Space NK.

Gisou has since launched a second fall scent, the Gisou Crème Brûlée Collection, with notes of brown sugar, whipped cream and vanilla milk.

When Did the Gisou Cherry Chocolate Hair Perfume Launch?

Gisou hasn't announced an official release date. These are the dated sightings:

  • 21 September 2026: Incentivised seeding reviews appear on Sephora US.
  • 28 September 2026: The first non-incentivised Sephora US review is posted.
  • 30 September 2026: The Cherry Chocolate Trio goes live on gisou.com.
  • 7 October 2026: The hair perfume's product page is live on gisou.com with customer reviews.

Sephora sells it as the "Mini Cherry Chocolate Honey Infused Hair Perfume". The Sephora US price was not visible when we checked.

Products in the Cherry Chocolate Collection

Gisou says the collection is "inspired by cherries dipped in chocolate." All three products are built on Mirsalehi Honey:

  • Honey Infused Hair Perfume - Fall Collection: $25 / £20 / €23
  • Honey Infused Lip Oil, Cherry Chocolate: $28 / £24 / €28
  • Honey Glaze Collagen Therapy Lip Mask, Cherry Chocolate: $26 / £24 / €26 (also £24 at Space NK UK). Gisou describes it as a sheer dark red glaze, made of a thin dark chocolate layer over a cherry red base.
  • Cherry Chocolate Trio: $65 / £58 / €63. It contains the full-size lip oil, the full-size lip mask and a travel-size 15ml hair perfume. Gisou says the set saves 15%.

Gisou calls the lip shades limited edition.

Cherry Chocolate joins Gisou's earlier gourmand hair perfumes, including Sticky Toffee, Milky Mocha, Coco-Cacao and Vanilla Glaze. The same format also comes in fruit and floral scents, such as the Gisou Honey Infused Lavender Berry Hair Perfume.

Gisou Cherry Chocolate Hair Perfume Fragrance Notes

  • Top: Red cherry
  • Heart: Honey nectar
  • Base: Velvety chocolate

Fragrantica lists a broader set of notes: cherry, chocolate, milk chocolate, honey, coconut and sandalwood. These come from the database, not from Gisou's official pyramid.

What Does Gisou Cherry Chocolate Hair Perfume Smell Like?

The scent opens on red cherry, moves into honey nectar and settles on chocolate. On its product page, Gisou says red cherry and golden honey nectar "melt into velvety chocolate, evoking a sweetness that's anything but innocent." The brand calls it a "rich, bold and seductively smooth" gourmand, and its launch graphics call it "temptation in a bottle."

Where to Buy

Checked 13 October 2026: in stock on gisou.com in the US, UK and EU; listed at Sephora US, Sephora Canada, Space NK US and Space NK UK.

What Makes the Gisou Cherry Chocolate Hair Perfume Different?

  • The collection is inspired by cherries dipped in chocolate. Gisou's earlier Glazed Cherry Hair & Body Mist paired cherry with raspberry and caramel instead.
  • It launched as part of a hair-and-lip collection and shares its name with a lip oil and a collagen lip mask.
  • Its formula contains two colourants, CI 19140 (Yellow 5) and CI 14700 (Red 4).

Formula and Packaging

  • Hair perfume: According to Gisou, it gives instant hydration, glossy shine, nourishment and a long-lasting fragrance.

- The formula is led by Alcohol Denat., which the brand says helps diffuse the scent.

- It contains Mirsalehi Honey and argan oil. Gisou says argan oil has twice as much vitamin E as an olive.

- It comes in a 15ml spray.

- The listed allergens differ between Gisou's single-product page and its Trio page.

  • Lip oil: The brand says it offers juicy hydration, glossy shine, an "irresistible hint of colour" and 96% naturally derived ingredients.
  • Lip mask: Gisou says it contains collagen, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Citing a clinical study, the brand claims:

- up to 10 hours of hydration

- lip barrier support for up to 8 hours

- up to 66% smoother lips after one use

Gisou says the hair perfume can be used before heat styling but doesn't provide heat protection. The brand also says Cherry Chocolate can be worn alone or layered with other Gisou hair perfumes. Its directions are to section the hair, spray evenly from arm's length, then flip the hair to diffuse the scent.

Selfridges lists the contents as worth £1416 and labels the calendar "Exclusive to Selfridges".

Updated 13 October 2026: The calendar has sold out at Selfridges since its 8 October launch, according to Beauty Detective, and the product page now opens behind a waiting-room queue. Selfridges has not announced a restock date.

Availability update (8 October 2026): now on sale at Selfridges for £225.

Release Date

The Selfridges Fragrance Advent Calendar 2026 launched on Thursday 8 October 2026, the date Selfridges had announced ahead of release. It went on sale online and in Selfridges stores, and the online product page used a queue on launch day.

Price

The calendar costs £225 at Selfridges UK. Selfridges lists the contents as worth £1416, the cost of buying the items separately, so the calendar is priced at about 16% of its listed value. Selfridges' US-facing site lists it at $275, marked "More stock coming soon" as of 8 October 2026.

What's Inside the Selfridges Fragrance Advent Calendar 2026

The calendar has twelve doors and sixteen bottles, with some drawers holding more than one item. The contents Selfridges has confirmed:

Where to Buy

  • US: Selfridges US site, $275 — "More stock coming soon" as of 8 October 2026
  • UK: Selfridges (£225, exclusive to Selfridges), sold out as of 13 October 2026

What Makes the Selfridges Fragrance Advent Calendar 2026 Different?

  • Sixteen bottles behind twelve doors, so several drawers hold more than one fragrance.
  • A full-size 88ml bottle of Ormonde Jayne Suede Silhouette sits alongside two 50ml extraits from Thameen and Ex Nihilo.
  • A retailer-curated line-up mixing niche houses, from Le Labo and Penhaligon's to New Notes, V Canto and Mind Games, sold as "Exclusive to Selfridges", unlike single-brand fragrance countdowns such as the Byredo Advent Calendar 2026 and the Jo Malone London 12 Days Advent Calendar 2026.

Packaging

Byredo 00:00 Eau de Parfum: China, Hong Kong, Macau & Taiwan Exclusive

Byredo 00:00 Eau de Parfum bottle with black dome cap on a ledge, teal-lit backdrop and 'New Byredo' headline text

Byredo 00:00 Eau de Parfum is a 2026 woody floral musk fragrance by Fanny Bal, built on bergamot, rosemary, gardenia, moss and musk. Byredo has released it for a single region: according to Parfumo, it is sold exclusively in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. It went on sale on 1 October 2026 and costs HK$2,450 for 100ml or HK$1,720 for 50ml in Hong Kong, according to Popbee.

Updated 13 October 2026: 00:00 went on sale on 1 October 2026. Popbee reports Hong Kong prices of HK$2,450 (100ml) and HK$1,720 (50ml), and it is sold at Byredo boutiques and Lane Crawford there.

When Did the Byredo 00:00 Eau de Parfum Launch?

00:00 went on sale on 1 October 2026 in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, according to Popbee.

Price

According to Popbee, 00:00 costs HK$2,450 (100ml) and HK$1,720 (50ml) in Hong Kong, and MOP 2,550 (100ml) and MOP 1,770 (50ml) in Macau. Prices for mainland China and Taiwan have not been published.

Byredo 00:00 Eau de Parfum Fragrance Notes

Byredo hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for 00:00. The note lists below come from fragrance databases, not from the brand.

Olfactra lists these notes:

  • Bergamot
  • Rosemary
  • Gardenia balsam
  • Moss
  • Pepper
  • Patchouli
  • Georgywood
  • Musk

Fragrantica gives a slightly different list: bergamot, rosemary, gardenia, moss, white musk, Akigalawood and Georgywood, arranged into a top, heart and base structure.

What Does Byredo 00:00 Eau de Parfum Smell Like?

Byredo has not published a description of the scent. In plain terms, the listed notes cover three stages:

  • Opening: bergamot and rosemary are a citrus and herbal pairing.
  • Heart: gardenia is a white floral, alongside pepper.
  • Base: moss and patchouli are green and earthy, Georgywood is a modern woody material, and musk sits underneath.

Parfumo describes 00:00 as citrusy-green. Olfactra lists its main accords as fresh spicy, aromatic and earthy.

Where to Buy

  • US: Not available (region exclusive)
  • UK: Not available (region exclusive)
  • Europe: Not available (region exclusive)
  • Other markets: Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan only. In Hong Kong, Popbee lists Byredo's Gough Street flagship in Central, K11 MUSEA, Lane Crawford (ifc mall, Times Square and Canton Road), The Twin Tower II in Kai Tak and YOHO MALL I in Yuen Long.

For Byredo's other 2026 launches, the Byredo Havana Tonka Extrait de Parfum is sold more widely, including in the US, UK, EU and Canada. The brand's holiday release, the Byredo Advent Calendar 2026, is also available in those markets. More new scents are in our fragrance releases section.

What Makes the Byredo 00:00 Eau de Parfum Different?

  • According to Parfumo, it is sold only in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
  • It is marketed for women and men.
  • Fragrantica classifies it as a Woody Floral Musk, with Georgywood and Akigalawood among the listed base materials.

Formula and Packaging

00:00 is an Eau de Parfum by perfumer Fanny Bal. Byredo hasn't explained the name; "00:00" could suggest midnight or a fresh start, but that is our reading, not an official explanation.

The bottle follows Byredo's classic design: clear glass with a black cap and a white label reading "00:00 EAU DE PARFUM." The outer box shows a watercolour-style wash of blue, teal, yellow and orange on white.

We'll update this post when Byredo confirms the price, sizes and release date.

  • Woody base

Zara places it in the Amber gourmand family and describes it as "indulgent, warm, and enveloping."

What Does Zara Baked Croissant Smell Like?

From the listed notes, Baked Croissant opens on butter cream and vanilla, moves into red fruit jam and settles on salted caramel. Zara calls it "an invitation to enjoy the pleasure of a leisurely French breakfast." It belongs to the same season's dairy-led gourmands as PHLUR Heavy Cream Eau de Parfum.

Zara hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for Cozy Pumpkin Latte. Zara highlights these notes:

  • Macadamia milk

What Does Zara Cozy Pumpkin Latte Smell Like?

From the listed notes, Cozy Pumpkin Latte pairs a milky macadamia and vanilla cream accord with cardamom spice, over sandalwood and incense. Zara describes "the comforting warmth of a spiced latte."

The Next 12 Days of Scent Pink Perfume Advent Calendar is a 12-door fragrance advent calendar holding 12 x 10 ml Eau de parfum from Next's own range. The 2026 calendar costs £40 at Next and was on sale at next.co.uk by 12 October 2026. Next hasn't announced an official launch date.

Updated 12 October 2026: available to order at next.co.uk for £40, with delivery listed as within 2–3 weeks.

Next's other festive fragrance release this season is the Next The Christmas Fragrance Edit Wild Botanicals 2026, a separate Christmas fragrance set from the same retailer.

When Did the Next 12 Days of Scent Advent Calendar Launch?

Next hasn't announced an official release date for the 12 Days of Scent Advent Calendar. The calendar was listed and available to order at next.co.uk by 12 October 2026, with an "Add to Bag" option and delivery quoted as within 2–3 weeks. The listing had no customer reviews at that point.

Price

  • UK: £40 at Next (£333.33/L)
  • US: Not yet confirmed
  • International: Not yet confirmed

Next does not state a "value if bought separately" figure for the calendar.

What's Inside

Next lists the contents as 12 x 10 ml Eau de parfum: twelve of Next's own fragrances behind 12 numbered doors. Next names the scents included, in this order:

  1. Just Pink
  2. Paradise
  3. Eau Nude
  4. Flowers
  5. Gold
  6. Cashmere
  7. Summer Sunset
  8. Embrace
  9. Define

Next does not say which scent sits behind which door. Not to be confused with the Boots 12 Days of Scent Advent Calendar, a different calendar sold by a different retailer, Boots.

Next 12 Days of Scent Fragrance Notes

Next hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for the calendar or for the individual scents on the product page. The only scent direction Next gives for the set as a whole is "sparkling fruits, blooming florals, and sultry ambers".

What Does Next 12 Days of Scent Smell Like?

Going by Next's description, the twelve perfumes cover three broad families: fruity, floral and amber scents. Next doesn't say which fragrance falls into which family. In Next's words: "Can't decide on a favourite scent? You don't have to. Our 12 Days of Scent Advent Calendar takes your senses on a journey through sparkling fruits, blooming florals, and sultry ambers."

Where to Buy

Checked 12 October 2026: available to order at next.co.uk (£40, delivery within 2–3 weeks).

What Makes the Next 12 Days of Scent Advent Calendar Different?

  • Every door holds one of Next's own eau de parfums, rather than a mix of brands.
  • All twelve bottles are the same size, 10 ml each.
  • The contents are named in full on Next's product page, from Just Pink to Luxe Infini.

Formula and Packaging

  • Formula: Eau de parfum, 10 ml per scent, according to Next's listing.
  • Box: Next's product photos show a pink box decorated with Christmas baubles, ribbons and a nutcracker, with "Deck the Halls" and "Jingle all the way" script and a gold bauble-shaped "12 Days of Scent" label.
  • Inside: The photos show double doors opening onto a pink-and-burgundy grid of numbered doors.
  • Bottles: The photos show slim glass spray bottles with gold caps.

DedCool Holiday 2026 Fragrance Notes

  • Xtra Milk: Bergamot + White Musk + Amber
  • 01 Taunt: Bergamot + Vanilla + Amber
  • Mocha Magic: Espresso + Mocha + Tonka Bean
  • Mineral Milk: Nectar + Lavender + Amber Milk

What Does the DedCool Holiday 2026 Collection Smell Like?

Bergamot gives Xtra Milk and 01 Taunt a citrus start. Both then settle into amber, with musk in Xtra Milk and vanilla in Taunt. Mocha Magic is built on coffee and chocolate notes over tonka bean. Mineral Milk pairs nectar and lavender with amber milk.

DedCool describes its air fresheners as "the easiest way to embed scent throughout your life, and freshen up unexpected places."

Where to Buy

  • US: DedCool sells the Advent Calendar ($141.60), Xtra Milk Fragrance Duo ($90) and Holiday Air Freshener Trio ($34). It also sells the Incense + Holder Set in Mocha Magic ($45). Sephora lists the Cozy Deluxe Perfume Trio ($50). Ulta Beauty showed no DedCool holiday sets.
  • UK: Not yet confirmed at a UK retailer. dedcool.com ships internationally, but its FAQ says full-size 1.7 oz fragrances can't ship abroad, so the Xtra Milk Fragrance Duo, which includes a full-size bottle, can't be shipped abroad from dedcool.com. Duties and taxes are included at checkout.
  • Canada: Sephora Canada lists the Cozy Deluxe Perfume Trio (CA$68).
  • Europe: Not yet confirmed at a retailer. dedcool.com international shipping applies as above.

Squishmallows Whisked Away Deluxe Set Perfume: Release Date, Price, Notes & Where to Buy

Squishmallows Whisked Away Deluxe Set with cat-shaped Eau de Parfum, travel spray and hair and body mist beside its gift box

The Squishmallows Whisked Away Deluxe Set is a three-piece gourmand perfume gift set with an Eau de Parfum, Travel Spray and Hair & Body Mist. The new holiday set from Squishmallows Fragrances costs $65 and is sold at Ulta Beauty, where Ulta labels it "Only at Ulta" and "New." It was on sale at Ulta Beauty by 12 October 2026.

Updated 12 October 2026: in stock at Ulta Beauty online.

The same scent also has a holiday flanker, the Squishmallows Whisked Away Gingerbread Dreams Limited Edition Eau de Parfum, a $62 limited edition that is also sold at Ulta.

When Did the Squishmallows Whisked Away Deluxe Set Launch?

Squishmallows Fragrances hasn't announced an official release date for the Whisked Away Deluxe Set. On 12 October 2026, Ulta Beauty listed the set as "New" and "In stock and ready to ship." The listing had no customer reviews at that point.

Price

The set costs $65 at Ulta Beauty in the US. Ulta lists a $105 value. That figure combines the 3.4 oz Whisked Away Eau de Parfum ($58) and the 0.33 oz travel size ($25), which are also sold on their own. The 2.5 oz Hair & Body Mist isn't sold separately at Ulta. Ulta notes that the brand is excluded from most of its coupons.

What's Inside

The set contains three items, as listed by Ulta Beauty:

  • Eau de Parfum (3.4 oz): comes with 3 caps (a travel cap, a regular spray atomizer and a special bulb atomizer)
  • Travel Spray (.33 oz)
  • Hair & Body Mist (2.5 oz)

Only the 3.4 oz bottle includes the three caps.

Squishmallows Whisked Away Fragrance Notes

The set uses the same pyramid as the existing Whisked Away Eau de Parfum:

  • Top: Cinnamon, Foamy Milk, Caramel Drizzle
  • Heart: Tiger Orchid, Freesia Petals, White Peach
  • Base: Sandalwood, Squishmallows Accord, Vanilla Latte

What Does Squishmallows Whisked Away Smell Like?

The opening is built on spice, milk and caramel. The heart moves into florals (orchid and freesia) with white peach. The base combines sandalwood, a vanilla latte note and the brand's marshmallow-style Squishmallows Accord.

The brand describes the set as "wrapping you in a swirl of caramel, vanilla latte, and warm comfort." It says the scent is inspired by "Cam the Cat's cozy moments."

Other Squishmallows Holiday Sets

Ulta listed several other new Squishmallows Fragrances holiday sets on the same day:

  • Pink Possibilities Deluxe Set: $65 ($105 value per Ulta)
  • Joy-To-Go Travel Set: $40
  • 3-Piece Coffret Set with Sprayers: $40

The 3-Piece Coffret Set with Sprayers is not to be confused with the existing 3-Piece Coffret Set ($40, "$48 value"), which has been on Ulta for longer. For another marshmallow-gourmand holiday option, see the KAYALI Yummy Kiss Sets.

Where to Buy

  • US: Ulta Beauty ($65). The brand's own site, squishmallowsfragrances.com, doesn't host a store.
  • UK: Not yet confirmed
  • Europe: Not yet confirmed
  • Other markets: availability varies by region.

Checked 12 October 2026: in stock at Ulta Beauty online. Ulta notes that the item cannot be shipped via air.

What Makes the Squishmallows Whisked Away Deluxe Set Different?

  • The 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum is shaped like Cam the Cat. Ulta's images show cream/ivory frosted glass, a gold collar and a gold bulb atomizer.
  • The 3.4 oz bottle comes with three interchangeable caps: travel cap, spray atomizer and bulb atomizer.
  • The set pairs the perfume with a Hair & Body Mist, a size Ulta doesn't sell on its own.

Formula and Packaging

  • Eau de Parfum: Ulta's ingredient list includes vanillin, cinnamon bark oil and jasmine oil/extract. According to the brand, the Squishmallows Accord combines marshmallow notes with "EmotiWaves" scent technology. The brand says this technology elicits feelings of happiness, well-being and joy, which it says neuroscientific studies have shown. Its directions are to dry the bottle-neck threads, screw on your chosen atomizer, and then spray on pulse points.
  • Travel Spray: a 0.33 oz size of the same Eau de Parfum, meant for pulse points.
  • Hair & Body Mist: Ulta lists aloe leaf juice, panthenol and glycerin among its ingredients. It is designed to be sprayed onto hair and body.

The brand says Whisked Away can be layered with other Squishmallows fragrances. Browse more fragrance releases.
