The Officine explores the serpent, an animal of ambiguous and hypnotic beauty, which crawls from the Heavens to Antiquity, from the Renaissance to our own century... from paintings to our bathroom. Fear not, this reptile  conceals as many faces  as it possesses shimmering scales. Honour and revere it, and it shall return the dance.

Just like an invisible boundary to be crossed, the interior fragrance differs from that of the exterior. The perfumed home becomes the ultimate landmark of intimacy. First of all, it is entirely yours, and enables you to quickly surrender to the charm and comfort of your own home. It is the scent that makes it home.

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.

The Officine has conceived its own concierge service as a personified extension of its knowledge of beauty. Behind its digital counter, Skin Concierge is there in the service of self-care, everywhere, anytime with a selection of products tailored to your skin.

The Officine does not intend to let you wander – even though wandering is good - in the cities where it has settled, without taking the time to walk through the gardens, venture outdoors... The Officine takes to heart the wellbeing of your beauty, but also the wellbeing of your day dreams, and recommends a selection of little-known gardens - or those known to the curious in the neighbourhood – enabling you to put your mind at rest the moment of a stroll.

“He who would travel happily must travel light” wrote Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in “Land of Men”. The Officine Universelle Buly is making it a matter of honour to contribute to your happiness by providing two new gift sets: The Little Traveller’s Beauty Kit and The Great Traveller’s Beauty Kit. They are sophisticated yet compact cases bearing your initials, carrying beauty essentials: a miniature bathroom that assists the traveller across the world.

First and foremost, for the proper writing - and reading! - of this dispatch, we must put our nose outside to acclimatise to a breeze still a little too chilly, to let ourselves be tamed by the few rays of sunshine, and lastly, to have a friendly chat with the neighbourhood birds. The cheeks are already tinged with colour, the body is energised and the senses are regaining their taste. The memory of the body is working eagerly, and spring is fondly reminding us what its presence feels like.

Since the dawn of time - ever since the Earth was Earth and Nature was its mother - Man has explored the farthest confines of the world, getting lost in each of its corners and learning from the rhythm of the seasons. This is the beginning of an infinite journey, guided by patience and curiosity, to collect beauty secrets and rituals from all over the world, which, thanks to their effectiveness, stand the test of time and never become obsolete.

It is difficult to capture the whole essence of a long love story in a single day, in a single celebration! This unique day - the wedding - will exist in the minds of those who celebrate it like images from a film, cherished moments made up of a thousand details, from comedy to drama, that parade on the big screen of memories.

FOR THE CURIOUS AND OTHER LOVERS OF COSMETIC LITERATURE

The Officine Universelle Buly believes in bright tomorrows, and sometimes even in good resolutions. While the beginning of the year is often conducive to adopting cheerful new habits, January is indeed the month for experimentation.

2024. Adding up each of these numbers, the result is "8". Doesn't the number eight formalize that mathematical infinity that everyone apprehends, sometimes questions, sometimes venerates? An arithmetical hurricane that forces us to refocus on ourselves and the truth of our path...

Officine Universelle Buly, in search of beauty adventures and secrets from around the world, travels here to Morocco, to the Souss plain to be exact, to discover the origin of argan oil.

"Epicene": "whose form does not vary according to gender." Since their creation, the Eaux Triples, the timeless perfumes of the Officine Universelle Buly, have allowed a total freedom in the very personal choice of a fragrance.

The festive season is open! This is undoubtedly when the most beautiful festive moments take place, those that mark a memory for a lifetime: at the table. It is no coincidence that in France we talk about the Art of the Table. From porcelain to silverware, from haute gastronomy to local cuisine, from wines to codes of good manners, the table is a true art of living, governed by requirements, fashions and rituals that may seem mysterious to the uninitiated, but ultimately, there is only one quality that has prevailed in the art of entertaining for centuries: delicacy.

As Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, the magistrate gastronomer and thinker on gourmet pleasures and hedonism, wrote in 1825 in his seminal work The Physiology of Taste, Or Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy: ...

This dispatch is aimed above all at the hairy and dishevelled individuals, but bald and hairless ones are also most welcome.

As a prelude to winter, the Officine starts its rentrée littéraire – literary season – with a Bulybrary-style introduction, an ode to the epistolary art but in opposition to rebellious hair locks. Our headlines today feature our accessories, which you can engrave with your favourite name, to pass on your beauty routine as a legacy, and keep up with the times when it comes to styling. Without getting in knots.

This summer, the Officine invites you on a trip to bulyesque lands for a complete and semantic change of scenery. From reading comes curiosity and from curiosity comes fervour.

Driven by a passion for journeys to perfumed lands, the Officine is delighted to announce the addition of four scents - from a bygone collection - to its permanent collection. The Officine is thus perpetuating a studious but enthusiastic venture: imagining a true library of scents with universal character. 

Beyond the visual shock, the first thing that strikes the traveller who arrives in a faraway land is the intricate and fascinating scent that floats through the air, that scent of unknown spices or bougainvillea flowers, damp earth, tree and plant sap or heady incense, mystical fumes or the aromas of dishes ready to be discovered...
