When is the best time to give this Prodigieux gift set to make the holidays even more special?
The Nuxe Prodigieux Collection Gift Set brings together the three products in the Prodigieux line: Huile Prodigieuse, a multifunctional dry oil made with seven plant-based oils (macadamia, sweet almond, hazelnut, camellia, argan, borage, and sunflower), the Prodigieux Le Parfum Eau de Parfum, and Prodigieux Shower Oil.
Huile Prodigieuse is the centerpiece of the set. It can be used on the face, body, and hair, nourishing, repairing, and enhancing both the skin and the hair. Its dry texture absorbs quickly and leaves a satin finish without a greasy film, which sets it apart from a traditional plant-based oil: this is the principle behind all dry oils for the body and hair, whose oils and lightweight emollients are selected to absorb rapidly.
The other two products continue this same theme. The shower oil, enriched with sweet almond oil and golden pearlescent particles, cleanses, softens, and perfumes the skin in the shower. The eau de parfum unfolds sunny and sensual notes built on a blend of orange blossom, magnolia, and vanilla.
It’s a thoughtful gift for the holidays: give it just as it is, in its pouch, to someone who loves warm fragrances and silky textures. The perfume and shower oil come in travel sizes; they slip easily into a purse or weekend bag, while the full-size bottle of oil stays at home.
Before applying the oil, it’s best to exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells. For this, we recommend Uriage’s body exfoliating cream: used once a week in the shower, it smooths the skin’s texture, and the oil applied afterward glides over a cleaner surface. The exfoliator prepares the skin; the oil nourishes it.
How do you use the oil, perfume, and shower oil from the set?

Shower Oil: Massage a small amount of product into wet skin, morning and/or evening, then rinse. Perfume: Spray a few centimeters from the skin, on the neck and the inside of the wrists.

Precautions
- For external use only. Do not swallow.
- Avoid contact with the eyes; in case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Spray the fragrance away from the face.
- Allergy to almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, or tree nuts: Do not use Huile Prodigieuse or the shower oil, as they contain oils derived from these nuts.
- Known allergy to any fragrance ingredient: all three products list fragrance allergens, including linalool, limonene, citronellol, and geraniol (and citral in the eau de parfum). If you have sensitive skin, test the product on the inside of your elbow 48 hours before first use.
- Do not spray the fragrance on irritated, broken, or freshly shaved or waxed skin: the alcohol it contains may cause a stinging sensation.
- Sun exposure: Spray the fragrance onto clothing rather than directly onto the skin. L’Huile Prodigieuse does not contain any sunscreen and is not a substitute for sunscreen.
- Flammable eau de parfum (alcohol): Do not spray near a flame or heat source.
- Discontinue use if redness, itching, or irritation occurs.
- If a child swallows the perfume, call a poison control center.
- Store away from heat and light. Huile Prodigieuse and shower oil: use within 12 months after opening. Keep out of reach of children.

Our expert tips on the La Collection Prodigieux gift set
A scented gift set is best given to someone whose skin type you know. Before wrapping it, the key consideration is nut allergies: this is the precaution that matters most, since it applies to two out of three products. Next come skin types that react to fragrances. For both of these cases, it’s better to choose a fragrance-free product rather than hope there won’t be a reaction.
This set is about the pleasure of skincare, not treatment. Very dry skin that feels tight, flakes, or itches constantly—or atopic skin—requires a dermatological emollient used daily; the oil should then be used as a supplement on days when the skin is doing well, and never on a flare-up.
FAQ
Does my Nuxe La Collection Prodigieux Gift Set smell like Huile Prodigieuse?
Yes, it has the same signature scent. The eau de parfum offers a more concentrated version, with a more pronounced scent trail than the oil, whose scent remains subtle once the skin is dry. This is what most buyers are looking for: to enjoy the oil’s scent on their skin for longer.
How can I make the scent of my Nuxe La Collection Prodigieux Gift Set last longer?
A fragrance lasts longer on moisturized skin than on dry skin. The set allows you to layer the three products in this order: the shower oil, then Huile Prodigieuse on skin that’s still warm, and finally the perfume. Avoid rubbing your wrists together after spraying, as this breaks down the top notes. A few sprays on a scarf or collar also help the scent linger longer.
What’s the difference between my Nuxe La Collection Prodigieux Gift Set and the Nuxe La Collection Prodigieux Floral Gift Set?
The set’s contents are the same—featuring an oil, a travel-size perfume, a shower oil, and a gold pouch—but the fragrance family differs. The classic version retains the warm, sunny accord of the original line. The Floral version contains the Huile Prodigieuse Florale and a fresher fragrance, built around a grapefruit accord, a heart of magnolia, and a base of white musk, with a shower gel instead of the shower oil.
Does the Huile Prodigieuse from my Nuxe La Collection Prodigieux gift set stain clothes?
A dry oil is formulated to absorb quickly and doesn’t leave a stain once absorbed—this is one of the most commonly mentioned points in reviews. The risk comes from using too much product or putting on clothes too soon: waiting a few minutes is enough, especially before wearing silk or light-colored fabrics.
