the roses have their thorns, but Officine Universelle Buly prefers to pique nothing but your curiosity: here are petals to strew in their paths, and vials of flowers they’ll never have to water. Rather, you can pour them out! Our extracts will infuse them with a delicate charm to put an instant Faery-Philtre over everything!

 A flower, just like a mother, does not have just one single power, but rather a multitude of them, and while both are treasured for their many virtues, the flower can give particular inspiration in the way that it adorns the mother and sets off her beauty. Anemones or water lilies, flowers have their own wisdom as well as their decorative value, their own enchanting aura, as well as their symbolic qualities, speaking a language we would do well to learn.

So much more than just the muse of amateur nature painters, or the trophies of the romantic; flowers have always carried with them a poetic power that speaks of freedom, a wonder that goes far beyond the cosmetic. It was the Summer of Love that brought us the expression "Flower Power", when pacifist demonstrations by bohemian hippies and long-haired dreamers, from San Francisco and across the globe, made the wearing of flowers in the hair, or confronting the forces of repression with the flowers of non-violence, a gesture and a symbol that endures: placing a carnation in the barrel of a gun.
