Ok lets get to the main point, Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum. I have use Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil before. Knowing that this perfume takes on the dry oil's fragrance, all the more I want to try coz the dry oil actually smells good to me.

This perfume comes in a nice glass bottle.

The bottle comes with a spray. But I guess almost all perfume comes in spray, right? So nothing special here.

Came with a spray.

Before I begin, must let you all know that I am one person that hate to put on perfume. To me perfume smell is like durian smell. Totally Yuck! 

But when I get to smell this Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum, it totally change my mind. I finally found a perfume that my nose can accept. 


This perfume does not smell too heavy to me. It has a mild and gentle smell. 

Spray onto my elbow.

And this perfume just smell a little different to me. The smell lingers gently and differently each time I smell them. 

When I just spray it, I smell acidity fruity smell. Then as time pass, it actually gave off very mild and nice floral smell. Not long later, I smell something creamy like coconut or vanilla. 

Pretty sophisticated to me. Each time I smell myself, I smell different but smell good. Of all the smell, most of the time, I smell floral fragrance. This perfume is pretty lasting too. :) 

Overall this perfume smell heavenly to me. I don't wear perfume but this is the first that won my heart. Its not too heavy and smell really amazing. The smell lingers gently and differently each time I smell them. From fruity to floral to creamy smell. Pretty sophisticated to me. If you love the smell of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil, you will definitely love this perfume.

My Review
This is the first time I am using this brand's hair dye and I am actually quite curious of how is it different from the usual hair dye I use. 

The hair color product came in a rectangle box with all materials in, including English instruction book. 

All packed in a box.

Items in the box.

The box stated there is plastic protective gloves given but I couldn't find it until I open up the Japanese instruction booklet which I almost throw away coz I couldn't read it. Well, if I haven't open up, I will really have miss it. :(

Plastic protective gloves stick inside Japanese instruction booklet. 

First thing I notice is that it does not have those bad chemical hair dye smell. Second thing I notice, the hair dye cream does not drip, making it easier to handle. 

A nice comb is given. It does feel easy to use, just pump the cream onto the brush given and comb onto my hair. 

Brush side of comb given.

Pump covered in cap.

Pump top and side view. Easy to pump.

The cream came in yellow and white in color (the dye color and activator) and does change color when I comb it onto my hair.

Cream came in 2 separate bottle. but made easy with 1 pump.

The cream came in yellow and white in color. Easily pump onto the comb given.

I have never dye my hair on my own. I always need someone else to do it for me. So for this product, I actually try experiment it myself. The result? Here I announce experiment failed!!! 

It took me quite long to fully dye my hair. Then after that, I still need my mum's help to touch up the areas that I miss out. The whole process took almost 45mins to finish. :P

The comb after used. (I am going to wash clean and keep it for other uses.)

It was stated left over cream can be kept for next application for re-touch application. A washing syringe is given as stopper. But unfortunately for my case, non is left. 

washing syringe given too for left over cream.

What I like is that the hair dye is easy to wash off. Its not very dirty color when washing off, leaving my bath room floor clean. 

Also the hair dye does not dry or damage my hair. My hair is easy to wash and still feel as smooth and nice after wash as before. 

However, I think I may have choose the wrong color. The color is not very effective on my hair. Even after drying it, I still cannot see the hair color on my hair. It just look like I have not dye my hair given that I leave the hair dye a little longer then stated already.
