Random collection of texts, periodicals and all other graphic, audiovisual and radio documents related to the Officine Universelle Buly.
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...
Both once ours and yet offered to all, the face is not content to be the sum of perceived - and imposed - elements: a forehead, a nose, a mouth, an eye, two... It is “this exceptional presentation of self by self” (Emmanuel Levinas, Totality and Infinity). The face thus manifests itself fully and voluntarily to others, which is why the Officine Universelle Buly dwells on it at length. This particular attention to reality gives rise to care for the figurative, because the face is the source of emotions. Witness to its own story, actor of its present moment, the face has the gift of telling the feeling of the being and the abyss of the appearance... it is indeed the true mirror of the soul.
In honour of the fairest of flowers, your mother, and because ever since you drew your first breath, you have been as close to her as hand in glove, present her with this bouquet and make her a day that breathes the nectar of flowers that we provide. Make a perfect floral arrangement of all her favourite treats: more refined than a pirate tattoo, classier than a macaroni necklace.
“The garden is the smallest parcel of the world, and the, it is the totality of the world” wrote Michel Foucault in 1967 in “Espace Autres” (Of Other Spaces) …
Since the inauguration of the Julian calendar, January has tirelessly and always been marked by a questioning of the self, the superego and the aspiration for a new beginning. After the long lists of December, the beloved resolutions are born, and with them the universal game of “unravelling to resolve”. A resolvere molto importante. Lastly, the letting go of the past to open the ground for possibilities towards the future.
Spooky Season’s Greeting to all you Pretty Pumpkins and Nifty Nightmares out there on the World-Wide Spider-Web!
It’s time to embrace the horror, and ramp up the glamour!
Never has the sky been so blue, so deep, so fierce with heat. On the side of the road, the burning wind makes her hair swirl. Her delicate gaze is hidden behind her sunglasses. She’s waiting, standing next to her glinting car. Her husband is sitting inside. Patient. She waves, from afar. She smiles coyly, putting on her relaxed face. She speaks English with a seductive accent. She says: Good morning, I’m Maria, let me explain a few things to you, please pay attention. She looks like she’s not kidding. She’s a representative of the Greek Ministry of Tourism. She specifies that this is neither a game nor a hobby. She explains very seriously that this trip to Mount Athos is like a secret mission, without saying any more about its mysteries and its different stages.>
We’re not talking about making a diversion nor concealing here: we’re talking about treating. L’Officine Universelle Buly professes that the best foundation is, by far, a good skin. Get to know our strategies to defy your skin’s nature and the consequences of your everyday life.
People have been brushing their teeth for 5,000 years. But the universal chore of scrubbing our gnashers twice a day is based on rather whimsical practices.>
Consecrated king of hygiene in the 19th century, soap has not always had its place in the learned protocol of bathing....
Creating the perfect scented candle is a real feat. The wax, the wick, the fragrance and their container form a perfectly balanced yet fragile whole, executed thanks to know-how handed down from generation to generation to achieve excellence, with exceptional raw materials and flawless precision.
A spectacular phenomenon that appears in the skies when the sun shines during a downpour, the rainbow has always fascinated by its beauty, its elusiveness and above all, its mystery. Literally forming a majestic bridge of light between earth and sky, it has inspired beliefs and religions across the world.
The link between Queen of Crime Agatha Christie and the world of beauty seems tenuous at first, but if you look at her beginnings as a novelist, it starts making sense. In 1966, she told the New York Times: "I got my plots in the tub, (…) just sitting there thinking, undisturbed, and lining the rim with apple cores." Hot baths did indeed bring her inspiration, the fruit of her imagination then scribbled in notebooks she scrupulously left in her bathroom and every room of her home, Greenway House, in Devon. The result? 66 crime novels, of which more than two billion copies were sold worldwide.
