Officine Universelle Buly
Officine Universelle Buly is a French cosmetics and skincare brand, renowned for its natural beauty products and artisanal craftsmanship. Founded in 1803 by Jean-Vincent Bully, the brand has a storied history that reflects the evolution of beauty and skincare practices over the centuries. Officine Universelle Buly embodies the tradition of the French apothecary, combining ancient recipes with modern science to create products that are both effective and aesthetically pleasing.
History[edit | edit source]
The origins of Officine Universelle Buly can be traced back to the early 19th century, when Jean-Vincent Bully gained fame in Paris for his perfumes, scented vinegars, and beauty formulas. Bully's shop on Rue Saint-Honoré became a celebrated destination for Parisian high society, earning accolades and royal patents for its innovative products. Over time, the original Bully shop closed, and the brand faded into obscurity until it was revived in 2014 by Ramdane Touhami and Victoire de Taillac-Touhami. The couple sought to restore the legacy of Jean-Vincent Bully, while updating the brand's offerings for the 21st century.
