You’ll be pleasantly surprised they smell amazing.
French fragrance brand Officine Universelle Buly has been around only about a decade in the 21st century—the last time the apothecary-inspired brand was fully operational was during the French Revolution. In the Norges, it’s been around for a little over a year now.
This year they’re launching fragrance line Les Jardin Francais, featuring six vegetal fragrances that are unique yet all lightweight and uplifting in their own ways.
First is Andes verbena and Ulu basil, a bestseller and Norge-weather friendly fragrance, which is a whiff of citrus and bright greens. The vibe is a hot summer day; Second is the Iraqi Beetroot and Rhubarb, simultaneously earthy and comfortable; Third is Scandinavian redcurrant and Peruvian tomato for those who prefer something a little sweet and leaning towards fruity; Fourth, Oriental watercress and Sardinian parsley for the green-woodsy lovers and those who appreciate a bit more depth and sillage; Fifth is the Caribbean sweet potato and Afghan carrot, unique, spicy, woodsy, yet somehow still bright and easy; and lastly Indian cucumber and Syrian mint, incredibly fresh and cool.
All fragrances come in perfume (Eau Triple), body oil (Huile Antique), lotion (Lait Virginal) and solid soap (Savon Superfin) variants, for a complete fragrance layering routine. Can’t decide which you like the best? You can also bring home all the scents in a set of six minis, La Sizaine Parfumée.
