The Chanel website *restocked* the advent calendars yesterday. It's a good opportunity to buy now if you missed out.

Is it true the case itself is made out of paper/cardboard?? I've been trying to track one down without much luck though Saks (NYC) said they'll be getting more in soon so took my contact info down. But now I'm unsure if I want to splurge. I thought the case was a hard plastic?
Yes, recycled, bio-degradable cardboard, so it is expected to fall apart over time.
Went in and saw the item in person today, passed.
I missed out on the Chanel Factory 5 on some items and thought I would go for the No. 5 Calendar this year but after seeing what is inside; it is a pass. I can't believe this is $825 US or $1,025 Cdn! I love Chanel but this is nuts........I will be exploring other luxury brands.
This was never intended to be a bang-for-your-buck item lol. It’s a novelty piece and meant to be enjoyed as one.
I wonder if there’s a way to preserve the cardboard perfume bottle - maybe coat it with something? Although I don’t really plan on man-handling mine, I was just going to leave it on my shelf lol.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be passing as well. Too bad because I really love the case.
With everything in it, feel like I just paid $500 for a beautiful cardboard Chanel Bottle box 
Maybe try some clear acrylic coating aerosol spray? It will probably make the case glossy but it may work
Thanks… I’ll look into that!
This actually makes me so annoyed, 800 dollars for cheap stickers and plastic bracelets and other things that looks like they found in a inventory drawer somewhere and they needed to get rid of.
It all seems like a very french joke.
These are items I’ve gotten for free when I’ve bought makeup and perfumes, I can’t believe they have packaged it in a huge gimmicky box and are now selling it for 800 dollars

I just got my $800 cardboard perfume bottle today!!!! Lmao…
The perfume bottle itself actually feels sturdy! I went ahead and opened everything lol. Some of the items are definitely cheap, like something you would get out of those 50 cent toy vending machines at a grocery store hahahaha. Honestly I think my favorite non-beauty items are the mirror and pin that are both shaped like a perfume bottle.
I’m going to do a DIY project with the the calendar. It’s either going to come out really crappy or really nice lol… Stay tuned!

Lol my cardboard bottle also en route to me , If it wasn’t for my favorite perfume no 5, I would have passed on it. Please post pic of your DIY project. I have tons of camellia flowers that I collected over the years, I may stick them on the cardboard bottle and place it in my room!
I definitely will! I’m headed to the craft store tomorrow to pick up a few items. I love your idea of adorning the bottle with camellias… I bet that would look lovely!
@luxurista and @zaraha, are you the only two who bought the expensive cardboard?!
Can’t wait to see your DIY projects!

Most likely lmao
I was also thinking of doing something with the stickers but not sure yet. My main focus is the cardboard bottle… I’ve been watching a few YT tutorials on how to work with cardboard. I don’t want to mess it up lololol.
