A beautifying treatment, dry to the touch, it is extremely nourishing thanks to a synergy between three oils: sesame, apricot, and coconut. This Huile Antique is also divinely scented with honey, amber and cedar. As soon as it is applied, skin regains its radiance and sacred splendour, leaving a trail of this gentle woody classic.
Description
This dry oil is a perfect nectar for the skin. Composed of three natural plant oils, it possesses a cumulative beneficial effect: the more you use it, the more the skin transforms due to its shaping and moisturizing effects. Sesame oil is a unique treasure: it was the world’s first vegetable extract in Mesopotamia, 3,500 years ago. It has softening qualities and is extremely easily absorbed. Fortified with antioxidants – Vitamin E, lecithin and sesamolin – it protects the skin against ageing. As for apricot oil, it strengthens the skin’s hydrolipidic layer and prevents dehydration. Finally, in this protective trio, comes coconut oil, which softens, tones, and restores unparalleled radiance, thanks to the presence of Vitamins E, K and its rich iron content.
In 1834, Jean-Vincent Bully added Huile Antique to his beauty catalogue, inspired by Ancient Greek cosmetic practices and restorative skincare from thermal baths. This treatment, highly popular at the beginning of the 19th century, when there was a vogue for all things evoking Antiquity, was reinvented and brought up to date by the Officine.
THE GREAT BENEFIT
Once applied, Huile Antique is rapidly absorbed by the skin, leaving no sticky feeling, so you can slip into your evening gown, pants or other daywear as soon as it's applied.
Scent
Pure honey and Virgina cedar: the English Honey scent, sweet and woody, plays with these classics and gives them a twist. A rose offers a few petals, lying next to an amber pearl nested in mythical cashmeran, a musky, woody, multilayered note.
Like a soft wool jumper on bare skin, this magnificent winter perfume evokes the comforting atmosphere of an afternoon spent in an English library. The smell of ancient woodwork, the upcoming tea time – with a drop of milk – when daylight is fading and the room is only lit by the amber glow coming from the hearth.
“English Honey” also carries the spirit of Made in Britain romantic comedies: the story with English Honey often starts with an unexpected love at first sight, followed by a long-lasting love story - in every possible way. It lingers on the tweed of a jacket or the back of the neck like a soothing caress. It inspires love: those who have tried it say they will never, ever forsake it.
Advice for Use & Care
Huile Antique can be applied all over the body, on slightly damp skin, after a shower or bath. Massage from the feet up to the neckline area, spending some extra time on the heels, knees and elbows.
Composition
Huile Antique is a mixture of naturally beautifying oils – sesame, apricot, coconut and castor oil – with squalene. Through its biomimetic action, it possesses a natural affinity for the epidermis, and plays the role of a natural emollient.
