When should you use these dry oils to moisturize and enhance your skin?
The Nuxe Les Trois Iconiques set, formerly known as Les 3 Prodigieux, includes three 10-ml bottles of Huile Prodigieuse: the original, Or, and Or Florale. All three share the same base: a multifunctional dry oil designed for use on the face, body, and hair. Seven plant-based oils form its core: macadamia, sweet almond, hazelnut, camellia, tsubaki, argan, and borage. Light emollients, including coconut caprylate/caprate—listed first in the ingredients—give the formula the signature feel of dry oils for the body and hair.
On the face and body, these oils moisturize and enhance the skin. The plant-based oils leave a fine lipid veil on the skin’s surface that limits water evaporation and restores suppleness to tight areas: shins, forearms, and décolletage. The skin regains its comfort without the sticky feeling of a massage oil.
The original Huile Prodigieuse is the non-shimmering version of the trio. It nourishes, repairs, and enhances both the skin and the lengths and ends of dry hair. Its fragrance, with notes of orange blossom, magnolia, and vanilla, is what made the line famous.
The other two bottles add mineral pearlescent pigments—mica, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides—suspended in the oil. Huile Prodigieuse Or and Or Florale moisturize, add a satin finish, and illuminate the skin, leaving a luminous glow—perfect for an evening out or sunny days. Their 10-ml bottles slip easily into a travel kit.
The finish of a pearlescent oil depends on the surface it’s applied to: on rough skin, the pearlescent particles cling to dry areas and emphasize texture rather than smoothing it out. For this reason, we recommend the Cavaillès Body Exfoliating Balm for Sensitive Skin, a sugar-based scrub to be used once a week. Once dead skin cells are removed, the skin absorbs the oil evenly, and the glow spreads uniformly.
How do you apply these three multi-purpose dry oils?
Directions for Use
Apply a few drops to the face—either on their own or mixed with cream—and to the body using circular motions, preferably on slightly damp skin, as well as to the lengths and ends of the hair. Shake the Or and Or Florale oils before use and apply them in small dabs to the areas you wish to highlight.

Our expert advice on the “Les Trois Iconiques” set
The three bottles aren’t equally suited for all uses. The original is for everyday use, including on the face and hair; the two pearlescent versions are best reserved for the body and special occasions, as their shimmer is clearly visible in daylight. On the face, it’s best to start with one drop and add more if needed: too much pearlescent oil will make your skin look greasy rather than radiant. Combination to oily skin often doesn’t tolerate these oils well when applied undiluted; one or two drops mixed with your moisturizer are sufficient.
This set is primarily designed to help you choose. Use each oil for several days, on the same area and at the same time of day, before switching to the full-size bottle: how long the scent lasts on the skin and the intensity of the shimmer are the two factors that most often make the difference.
FAQ
Does the Huile Prodigieuse from the Les Trois Iconiques set stain my clothes?
It might. Even though it’s called “dry,” Huile Prodigieuse is still an oil-based product: fabric that comes into contact with it before it has been absorbed may develop a stain. Letting the oil absorb for a few minutes before getting dressed minimizes this risk. An existing stain should be treated like any oily stain, for example with Sommières clay before washing.
Can I apply makeup after using the Huile Prodigieuse from the Les Trois Iconiques set?
Yes. The texture dries quickly and absorbs into the skin: you can apply foundation afterward.
Can I use the Huile Prodigieuse from the Les Trois Iconiques set as a hair mask before shampooing?
Yes, for the original, non-shimmer version in the set. This is its most intensive hair treatment use: apply it to the entire head of hair once or twice a week, then leave it on for at least ten minutes before shampooing.
What’s the difference between Huile Prodigieuse Or and Huile Prodigieuse Or Florale from the Les Trois Iconiques set?
Both are based on the same blend of oils and contain pearlescent pigments. The Or version gives a golden sheen and retains the fragrance of the original Huile Prodigieuse. The Or Florale version gives a rose-gold sheen and has a fresher fragrance, dominated by citrus, grapefruit, and floral notes.
