Description

The herbarium is more than just a book containing treasures of dried flowers and plants. It is the delicate gesture of a botanist, the nostalgic gesture of a traveller, the wise gesture of a collector and the contemplative gesture of a lover.
A beautiful object in itself The Scented Herbarium of the Officine Universelle Buly can be as contemplated, read as much as it can be breathed in.
Each page is transformed into an olfactory, historical and mythical tale. Various century-old epics and little-known legends on these fabulous vegetables and herbs are unveiled in the service of knowledge and curiosity.
A divinely synaesthetic work, it appeals to all the human senses: the eye rests on its elegant cover in bright green fabric, the hands discover the discreet embossing of the gold lettering, while the illustrated pages release their garden fragrances. Once scratched, they diffuse their olfactory elixir: the scents of the twelve ingredients used in Les Jardins Français collection, famous for their culinary delights but less so for their scent. Tomato, redcurrant, rhubarb, beetroot, watercress, parsley, cucumber, mint, verbena, basil, and lastly the audacious carrots and sweet potatoes reinvent their splendour in their fragrant form.

A book that borrows all the seriousness and aesthetic elegance from the finest works, and from childhood, the fond memories of scented papers that were collected, bartered or treasured like precious jewels with the greatest emotional value.

A sublime collection of illustrations, odysseys and perfumes to be gifted to a lucky recipient (or to yourself) for an escape through gardens, worlds and eras.
 
GREAT BENEFITS
The Scented Herbarium has everything to please: its small size allows you to take it with you wherever you go, and it delivers its divine fragrant mist anywhere, open or closed, scratched or unscratched. A sumptuous handwritten prelude to Les Jardins Français collection.
