Is this the world's most expensive advent calendar?

<p><em>Image: TikTok</em></p> <p>Chanel have released a luxury advent calendar that has received significant backlash from customers, who claim it is not worth the $1140 price tag.</p> <p>In a video posted on TikTok, influencer Elise Harmon filmed herself unboxing the pricey calendar and revealed the underwhelming contents.</p> <p>The Chanel website purports that each day of the calendar either “contains a full-size fragrance or makeup product, miniature, or other surprise marked with Gabrielle Chanel’s lucky number.”</p> <p>Those willing to fork out the cash for the calendar can purchase it from select Chanel Beauty Boutiques.</p> <p>Harmon can be seen inspecting the calendar to see if it's “worth the hype” but is significantly disappointed when she opens the first item to see a packet of stickers.</p> <p>As she continues to open the calendar, she seems to be somewhat satisfied with a small bottle of Chanel hand cream.</p> <p>The video went viral after racking up over 11 million views and more than 1.7 million likes.</p> <p>Users were quick to share their outrage at the overpriced calendar, with one user writing, “The audacity of the stickers.”</p> <p>Another wrote, “$825USD was spent on the packaging and $25USD for everything….”</p> <p>As the video gained more traction, users in the comments begged Harmon to do another unboxing video, with one user writing, “More please, this is a joke.”</p> <p>In a follow-up video, Harmon posted another clip of her unboxing day 8. She holds up the box and says, “Day 8 was really calling my name.”</p> <p>In a bitter twist, she reveals that the contents were just a tiny dust bag that says “Chanel” on it.</p> <p>“Chanel should be embarrassed” one user responded.</p>
