Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touhami, co-founders of Officine Universelle Buly, have something of the time traveller in them. A kind of vocation for transmission, both inspired by the excellence and virtues of the past and eager to secure beauty’s heritage with the best of the present. Their taste for true perfumery, with authentic formulas, free of harmful chemicals, matches their conviction that universal beauty secrets, which have lasted and been passed down for millennia, have lost nothing of their relevance, virtue or wisdom. Their profound passion for ancestral savoir faire and hygiene and beauty routines from all over the world was made concrete with the opening of Officine Universelle Buly, 6 rue Bonaparte in the 6th arrondissement, in 2014. A veritable bastion against the disappearance of the world’s beauty heritage. And a dispensary offering simple, precious, efficient, respectful, modest or legendary products, gathered from History and Travel.
