A tropical Christmas with Baïja: gift sets that will take you on a journey

Under the tree, Baïja bottles swap the December chill for scents of juicy blackcurrant, Tiare flower and nocturnal tuberose. A Christmas that smells of beaches at dusk and Italian gardens after the rain.

Lilac midnight, sunny gardens and tropical beaches

At Baïja, scents are crafted like real skin perfumes. And this year’s Christmas collections focus on four distinct universes.

First there’s Minuit Chéri, the most nocturnal. A dense, enveloping white tuberose, spiked with juicy pear, sparkling bergamot, jasmine, sandalwood and musk, conceived as an almost velvety evening fragrance. One immediately imagines a Parisian apartment bathed in mauve light, glasses clinking and conversations lingering.

Jardin Pallanca, on the other hand, plays the Italian promenade card: tangy blackcurrant, delicate jasmine and rounding white musks. It’s a gently sloping garden, between sun and shade, where wet foliage wafts a fruity scent, fresh but with an end-of-day sweetness.

With Moana, we go one step further: vanilla, coconut and tiare flower create a sun-kissed scent inspired by paradise beaches, created by perfumers in Grasse. It’s a chic sun cream, without the overly sweet gourmand side, but with that floral caress that lingers on the skin as long as it does on the sheets.

Finally, Lost Paradise sets the tropical scene: pineapple at the top, white flowers at the heart, tonka bean at the base for a warm, slightly creamy effect, reminiscent of a cocktail served beside a palm-fringed waterfall. A luminous, almost sunny fragrance that can be worn in the middle of winter or on a summer’s evening.

My Body Moment, Secret Santa & Nails and Glitter Party sets

For the festive season, Baïja has designed a number of gift sets, each based on one of these flagship scents, and conceived as little turnkey routines.

My Body Moment offers a true body & mind ritual. Each box contains four treatments: shower foam, body scrub, body oil and 15 ml eau de parfum, coordinated with the chosen scent. The shower starts with a creamy lather, the scrub smoothes the skin, the oil nourishes and the fragrance finishes. All in a gift-ready box.

Lighter but very festive, Secret Santa Glowy Crush Moana is a little gift that’s sure to please. This duo combines a glittery body lotion and a mini Moana Tiare flower shower foam: skin is moisturized and delicately scented, with a discreet iridescent veil on legs and arms. Perfect for a gift exchange between colleagues, a thoughtful gift for a friend or a surprise at the foot of the Christmas tree.

Finally, the Nails & Glitter Party sets – in collaboration with Nailmatic – focus on hands and nails. Each box contains a nail file, a scented hand cream, a colored varnish (blue, red or lilac, depending on the version) and glitter to apply as an accent or as a total look. The olfactory worlds come together for a matching perfume + manicure duo.

Who to give a gift box to?

To hit the mark, think profile first, then scent.

– For the friend who’s dreaming of warm sand in the middle of December, we offer Secret Santa Glowy Crush Moana: tiare flower, vanilla and coconut envelop the body in a vacation fragrance, and the skin shines just right under a black sweater.

– For those who collect perfumes and like well-crafted, fruity accords, we slip on My Body Moment Jardin Pallanca: blackcurrant, jasmine and white musks for a winter scented like a walk in Liguria.

– For a very urban, almost couture evening, Nails & Glitter Party Minuit Chéri works wonders: tuberose, white flowers, lilac varnish or violet glitter, everything you need to accompany a dark dress and a strong lipstick.

– Finally, for those with a sunny, bohemian spirit, the My Body Moment Lost Paradise or Nails & Glitter Party Lost Paradise sets play the tropical chic card: pineapple, white flowers, tonka and colored nail polish for a New Year’s Eve that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

In the cold of Paris, these Baïja boxes conjure up an imaginary Christmas in the tropics, exotic and full of flowers, like a fragrant interlude that invites you to daydream as soon as you lift the lid. It’s our favorite brand from the Paris Select editorial team for the holidays!
