Practical information
Founded in 1803 by Jean-Vincent Bully, Officine Universelle Buly perpetuates and reinvents a distinctively French approach to beauty.
The Maison won prestigious awards at the Expositions Universelles of 1867 and 1878, recognizing the famous Parisian perfumer for its legendary formulations with cutting-edge technology: in 2014, the Officine created the world’s first water-based perfumes.
