We know what you’re thinking: Surely, it’s too early to start shopping for Christmas gifts, better yet an advent calendar that’s only meant to be used in the month of December. But as soon as Glasshouse Fragrances’ version of this iconic holiday tradition dropped for 2025, we knew it was too good to keep from sharing with you, dear reader.

Founded in 2005 by New Yorker Nicole Eckels, the now-Australia-based Glasshouse Fragrances was born of a mission to create fragrances for the body and home that would fuse affordability with luxury while taking customers on a journey of the senses each time they were used. Everything the brand offers is free of parabens, irritants, and animal byproducts, not to mention what it calls “triple-scented,” meaning the scents you’ll be exposed to are nothing short of forceful and blissfully complex.

This year, Glasshouse Fragrances has done something a little different — employing the help of Australian digital NFT artist Aeoniumsky to design packaging and glass candle vessels that feature an intricate, jolly world you’ll be dying to step into. (Mistletoe! Leafy Tannenbaums! Ornate, city-inspired architecture!) This means that all the 2025 holiday selections, from the range of luxury candles to the oil diffusers and the advent calendar grand event, will not only be a delight to smell but also gaze at when you repurpose them as elevated decor for your humble abode.

The 2025 Glasshouse Advent Calendar has a Holiday Express theme that promises 24 whole days of mini-sized soy candles, eau de parfums for adding dimension to your winter wardrobe, lotions, body washes, hand creams, and — because Christmastime makes us all feel like giddy kids again — a set of stickers for good measure. Discovering its contents, day in and day out throughout the course of the merriest month of the year, will give you a taste of Glasshouse Fragrances’ bestselling formulas that please even the pickiest of noses.

Glasshouse Fragrances’ festive product lineup also includes limited-edition votives in 760-, 380-, 60-, and 30-gram versions, not to mention multiple sets that combine the best of all worlds — like the Kyoto in Bloom Christmas Bon Bon that captures a floral-and-citrusy smell in eau de parfum and lotion form and the Christmas Scent Scene Duo (here you’ll be getting a diffuser and two types of perfumed stems, in the blackcurrant-powered Night Before Christmas and the summer-evoking Lost in Amalfi scents).

Have a soft spot for room sprays? Grab hold of Glasshouse Fragrances’ interior perfumes. Need a gift for the hostess that will live up to all the efforts she’s soon going to put into making a magical get-together? There’s nothing better than one of the fragrance house’s standalone candles. Full-bodied, able to quickly fill a large room, and enclosed in a (literal) house of glass that’s been dolled up with Aeoniumsky’s heart-warming illustrations, each one is a delight that will make cozy season even cozier. And that spectrum of aromas — from the gourmand Gingerbread House (an editor-favorite!) to the woodsy, pine needle–punctuated Winter Wonderland — will be a match for everyone on your list.

And in case you want to make burning candles a full-blown performance piece, we want to point your attention to the spinning carousel that comes with some of Glasshouse Fragrance’s top-selling candles. After you affix the base of the accessory to its rim and attach those gilded pendants, light the wick and watch as the rising hot air starts propelling the carousel’s blades — putting on an unforgettable show.

December might be two months away, but we guarantee you the days will fly by. Getting these fragrance gifts early comes with the benefits of beating the frantic shopping rush and winning at Christmas. What could be better than that? Maybe just the way a Glasshouse Frangrance Gingerbread House candle smells — like coming down the stairs of your childhood home and being greeted by freshly baked biscuits, cut through with syrupy caramel and invigorating orange.
