More precisely, to the Aurillac ball, a vibrant dancing performance on which the curtains of our story open. <br>But no ball is complete without a preceding beauty ritual. After a long day on the farm, Justine walks hastily back to the house and invites us to plunge headlong into the intimacy of rural grooming in the 19<sup>th</sup> century. A number of customs are thus revealed to us: hierarchical baths, the bar of Marseille soap and, lastly, the obvious importance of face and hand care.<br>So, it is in the context of these generous tables, these bursts of joy and the warmth of dancing bodies, that Justine reveals the secrets of a ritual that is as precious as it is thrilling. It is then that she almost forgets the essential thing: who will fasten the last buttons on her dress?</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

de pins noirs centenaires, magistraux et protecteurs, le jardin Hama-rikyu &#233;tait un refuge arbor&#233; et pacifique pour les shoguns durant l&#8217;&#232;re Edo. Apr&#232;s le renouvellement de Meiji, grand renversement du pouvoir dans l&#8217;histoire nipponne, le jardin devint une villa imp&#233;riale avant d&#8217;&#234;tre ouverte au public en 1946, offrant alors un spectacle fleuri et parfum&#233; aux visiteurs, fl&#226;neurs et autres curieux. L&#8217;arborescence du jardin Hama-rikyu ne semble point atteinte par la succession des quatre saisons. Une verdoyance intemporelle &#224; la beaut&#233; &#233;ternelle : les cerisiers et les fleurs de colza fleurissent au printemps, les beaux hortensias rosissent &#224; l&#8217;&#233;t&#233;, les cosmos adoucissent l&#8217;entr&#233;e automnale et enfin, les fleurs de pruniers et de cam&#233;lia terminent le ballet hivernal, tout en couleurs.<em><br>Surrounded by century-old, majestic and protective black pine trees, the Hama-rikyu garden was a peaceful refuge lined with trees for the shoguns during the Edo era. After the Meiji renewal, a major overthrow of power in Japanese history, the garden became an imperial villa before being opened to the public in 1946, thus offering visitors, strollers and the curious, a floral and fragrant spectacle. The arborescence of the Hama-rikyu garden seems unaffected by the succession of the four seasons. A timeless greenery of eternal beauty: cherry trees and rapeseed blossom in spring, beautiful hydrangeas turn pink in summer, cosmos soften the arrival of autumn and, lastly, plum and camellia flowers bring the colourful winter ballet to an end.</em></p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Champ de lavande &#224;

affluent dans la r&#233;gion. Au printemps, environ mille et une pivoines fleurissent &#224; profusion, tandis qu&#8217;au d&#233;but de l&#8217;&#233;t&#233;, les iris, de 800 ans nos a&#238;n&#233;es, sont un joyau pour les yeux. En automne, les campanules (kiky&#244;), fr&#233;quemment utilis&#233;es comme plantes m&#233;dicinales, s&#8217;&#233;panouissent. Enfin, quand vient l&#8217;hiver, c&#8217;est au sycomore de jouer le premier r&#244;le. Ce sont les quatre saisons du Japon que ce jardin s&#8217;applique, chaque ann&#233;e, &#224; mettre en sc&#232;ne et sublimer.<em><br>The sweet scent of plum flowers and the fresh fragrance of Daphne odora shrubs waft across the region. In spring, around a thousand and one peonies bloom in profusion, while in early summer, irises, 800 years our senior, are a jewel for the eyes. In autumn, bluebells (kiky&#244;), often used as medicinal plants, burgeon. Lastly, in winter, the sycamore takes centre stage. These are the four Japanese seasons that this garden strives to stage and sublimate each year.</em></p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Jardins botaniques de Koishikawa </strong><em><strong>&#8211;

Open all year round, the garden transforms with the seasons like a living canvas of colours, revealing the wealth of its botanical treasures: in the delicate spring, it blushes with cherry blossoms; in summer, hundreds of irises fill the air (and lift the mood) with their fragrance; while in autumn and in winter, Japanese maples impose their vibrant and comforting hues. A wonderful garden that mirrors itself in the pure waters of a pond, thus creating an impression of endlessness.</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

pr&#233;tention de dire que le monde m&#8217;appartient, du haut de ma petite personne, mais il est un fait incontestable : ma journ&#233;e est toute mienne. Et une journ&#233;e plus longue que la moyenne puisque celle-ci d&#233;bute, inlassablement, aux aurores. Lorsque le Soleil&#8239;Roi en personne n&#8217;a pas encore entam&#233; son rayonnement. <strong>J&#8217;emprunte ainsi &#224; la nuit quelques-unes de ses heures noctambules</strong>, que j&#8217;accueille d&#233;sormais sans d&#233;sarroi, avec sagesse.</p><p><strong>Je suis membre d&#8217;un club tr&#232;s peu pris&#233; et relativement anonyme : le club des l&#232;ve-tr&#232;s-t&#244;t.</strong> Un cercle restreint compos&#233; d&#8217;&#226;mes solitaires, souvent incomprises, et dont les paupi&#232;res turbulentes s&#8217;agitent d&#232;s 4h du matin et sont dans l&#8217;incapacit&#233; de se refermer, comme entra&#238;n&#233;es par l&#8217;euphorie de vivre une vie... avant la vie.<br>Est-ce une horloge biologique qui tourne &#224; contretemps ? Sans doute. Ou bien la volont&#233; de profiter d&#8217;heures sereines, loin de l&#8217;agitation du vivant et des tumultes journaliers&#8239;? Assur&#233;ment. Je fais donc partie de ce cercle tr&#232;s ferm&#233; des &#8220;auroriens&#8221;, et je souhaite, par ma pr&#233;sente plume, en clamer tous les m&#233;rites et les vertus. J&#8217;ai longtemps v&#233;cu ces r&#233;veils pr&#233;matur&#233;s comme une tare. Aujourd&#8217;hui, pour rien au monde, je n&#8217;abandonnerais ces divins matins.</p><p>Qu&#8217;importe bien l&#8217;heure de mon souper et de mon coucher, mon esprit s&#8217;&#233;veille chaque matin aux alentours de 4h30-5h, guid&#233; par une pendule interne qui n&#8217;en fait qu&#8217;&#224; sa t&#234;te. Il aurait pourtant tout le loisir de se reposer quelques instants (je ne le contrains pas &#224; l&#8217;&#233;veil), mais il s&#8217;y refuse. C&#8217;est comme s&#8217;il cherchait, dans ces quelques heures emprunt&#233;es &#224; l&#8217;aube, une tranquillit&#233; v&#233;ritable. Celle que nous ne poss&#233;dons plus, plong&#233;s dans un monde &#224; l&#8217;allure excessive et aux constantes stimulations. Apr&#232;s moult r&#233;veils matinaux et leur auto-analyse, j&#8217;en viens &#224; l&#8217;&#233;tonnant constat que le fait de me lever avant le monde me repose davantage que quelques r&#234;ves suppl&#233;mentaires. Il y a dans ces heures une certaine discr&#233;tion, une pudeur pr&#233;serv&#233;e. <strong>Mon monde entier sommeille encore et je n&#8217;ai personne &#224; qui parler, aucune obligation &#224; r&#233;aliser, hormis celle de prendre mon temps et d&#8217;&#233;couter le silence.</strong> Je ne suis pas de nature solitaire mais je trouve, dans cet instant de l&#8217;aube, tout le plaisir de converser avec moi-m&#234;me et de n&#8217;avoir aucun effort de repr&#233;sentation &#224; faire.</p><p>Revenons-en &#224; nos moutons (que je ne compte jamais).<br>Chaque matin je r&#233;alise une routine millim&#233;tr&#233;e avec une extr&#234;me d&#233;licatesse, comme si je ne voulais pas d&#233;ranger Lady Nuit, elle-m&#234;me encore dans son sommeil.<br>Mon premier caf&#233;&#8239;? Je le savoure en tailleur sur mon canap&#233;, en fixant la fum&#233;e chaude et d&#233;licieuse qui s&#8217;en &#233;chappe. Unique activit&#233;. Puis je saisis mon stylo-plume, celui que je conserve depuis les ann&#233;es lyc&#233;e, celui de mon baccalaur&#233;at scientifique, celui du temps o&#249; j&#8217;ignorais tout de ma destin&#233;e. J&#8217;&#233;cris dans mon carnet de bord ce qui me passe par la t&#234;te, sans effet de style, sans crainte d&#8217;un regard ou d&#8217;une faute d&#8217;orthographe. Loin de tout jugement, &#224; l&#8217;image de mon intimit&#233; au creux de l&#8217;aube.&#8239;<strong>Il y a des mots, des phrases, des pens&#233;es, des peurs et des joies. Et aucun filtre.

Les murs sont aussi fins qu&#8217;une feuille de papier de riz et les bruits amplifi&#233;s par le calme environnement.

Je masse ensuite mon cuir chevelu pour stimuler la pousse de ma mince crini&#232;re et, davantage encore, stimuler mon esprit qui, contre sa volont&#233;, doit maintenant rejoindre le monde des &#233;veill&#233;s.

Yet, the context in which it was coined, nonetheless justifies its truth. It is said (though we are unable to confirm this with certainty) that we owe this linguistic gem to the pen and mind of Henry Gauthier-Villars, known as Willy, a Parisian writer of the nineteenth century. He was referring here to the importance of rising at dawn in a world where electricity was a scarce commodity, in order to enjoy the natural light bestowed by the heavens, and thereby gain a head start on one&#8217;s work. Jules Renard, an author we hold dear, rephrases this celebrated line in a more measured way: <strong>&#8220;The world belongs to those who rise early, until the hour when others

presumptuous to claim that the world belongs to me, from my humble small own self. Yet, one thing is undeniable: my day is entirely my own. And it is a longer day than most, for it begins, unfailingly, at the break of dawn. When the Sun King himself has not yet begun to shine. <strong>I thus borrow from the night a few of its nocturnal hours</strong>, which I now welcome without dismay, with wisdom.</em></p><p><em><strong>I am a member of a little-coveted and largely anonymous club: the early risers&#8217; club. </strong>A select circle of solitary souls, often misunderstood, whose restless eyelids begin to stir as early as four in the morning and are unable to close, as though carried along by the euphoria of living a life&#8230; before life begins. Is it a biological clock running out of sync? Undoubtedly. Or perhaps a desire to savour peaceful hours, far from the hustle and bustle of life and the daily turmoil? Certainly. I therefore belong to this very select circle of &#8220;early risers&#8221;, and I wish, through these words, to proclaim all their merits and virtues. For a long time, I saw these premature awakenings as a curse. Today, for nothing in the world would I relinquish these divine mornings.</em></p><p><em>No matter what time I have my supper or go to bed, my mind awakens every morning around 4.30-5.00 am, guided by an inner clock that does as it pleases. It could, however, allow itself a few moments of rest (I do not compel it to wake), but it refuses to do so. It is as if, in those few hours borrowed from the dawn, my mind seeks true tranquillity. One that we no longer possess, plunged as we are in a world of excessive pace and constant stimulation. After countless early awakenings and self-reflection, I have come to the surprising conclusion that waking up before the rest of the world gives me more rest than a few additional hours of sleep. There is a certain discretion in these hours, a modesty preserved. <strong>My whole world still slumbers and I have no one to speak to, no obligation to fulfil, save that of taking my time and listening to the silence. </strong>I am not naturally a solitary person, but in this moment of dawn I find great pleasure in conversing with myself and in not having to put on any pretence.</em></p><p><em>Let us return to our sheep (which I never count).<br>Every morning, I carry out a meticulously planned routine with the utmost care, as if I didn&#8217;t want to disturb Lady Night, who is still deep in slumber.<br>My first coffee? I savour it sitting cross-legged on my sofa, watching the warm, delicious smoke rise and curl. My only activity. Then I pick up my fountain pen, the one I&#8217;ve kept since my schooldays, the one from my science A-levels, from a time when I knew nothing of my destiny. I write down whatever comes to mind in my journal, without any stylistic flourishes, without fear of a critical eye or a spelling mistake. Far from any judgement, just like my innermost thoughts cradled by dawn. <strong>There are words, sentences, thoughts, fears and joys. No filter. It is the first liberation of the mind.</strong></em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

focused, I begin to move my body, slowly. Nothing must be abrupt. A few stretches followed by some gentle exercises, for let&#8217;s not forget, we are still in the middle of the night in a Parisian flat. The walls are as thin as a sheet of rice paper, and the slightest sound is magnified by the surrounding quiet. The mind is freed from its few lingering dark clouds, the body from its tensions.<br>And now comes the moment of grace, my facial skincare ritual. <strong>This same face that will be exposed to the wide world in a few hours&#8217; time, and upon which I wish to keep the secret of my auroral awakenings</strong>. I glance at myself in the mirror without dwelling on it too much before grabbing my magic massage tool to smooth out my complexion, my features and, let&#8217;s face it, my fatigue. I follow by massaging my scalp to encourage the growth of my thin mane and, even more so, to stimulate my mind which, against its will, must now join the world of the awake. A long, hot, scented shower completes this ceremony of serenity and washes away the night&#8217;s dreams from my body. For indeed, the hands of my watch now join the first morning light, signalling that the city is now waking up. <strong>Officially, the day begins.</strong></em></p><p><em>Before leaving my little haven of nocturnal tranquillity, I observe it closely with an unflinching, often stern eye, to spot anything that might be out of place and disturb its perfect harmony. <strong>In a few rounds, everything is in order under the guidance of my mantra: a place for everything and everything in its place.</strong> And so, my thoughts and ideas also withdraw to their rightful place.</em></p><p><em>For those of you who might wish to try your hand at the art of waking up far too early, <strong>I&#8217;d like to let you know that there are still a few places left in the circle of &#8220;early risers&#8221;</strong>.

It is undoubtedly one of the city&#8217;s most discreet gardens, known only to discerning wanderers&#8230; and now to you! With no formal entrance, it can be accessed through a secret underground passage between the Grandes Serres and the Menagerie. Over 32 mountainous rockeries and 2,000 species of wild plants and shrubs are revealed to charm the eye, captivate the senses, and soothe the soul.</em></p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align:

The clocks were striking one o&#8217;clock in the afternoon. Louise de Taillac, fifth generation since her ancestor Victoire, her chin tucked up against her chest to shield herself from the fierce wind, slipped swiftly through the immense magnetic windows of 6 Rue Bonaparte. The entire street now belongs to The Officine, a small shop reinvented by an intrepid couple of merchants, which has grown into a grand emporium. Once misunderstood by the traditions of the time, it has taken its revenge through success, absorbing the entirety of the former building of Paris Beaux-Arts - now transformed into the National School of Calligraphic Arts - along with the School of Medicine and the surrounding galleries, all of which have collapsed following the speculative cryptocurrency bubble of March 2050.</em></p><div

Rare macerates are cultivated in the heights of rue Jacob, while Amazonian oils thrive along rue des Saints-P&#232;res. The perfumes of The Officine, the Eau Quinte, permeate the skin cells through its five dimensions. Computers exist no longer, replaced by professional calligraphers who draw receipts, sales catalogues, and other delightful paper wonders.</em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Time has become the grand victor: the economy now revolves around rest and the ability of individuals to reflect the sun</strong>, producing the energy that keeps the remnants of the modern world running. Radiant, luminous faces, with glowing complexions, generate the energy essential for life. No longer is it beauty or youth in their pure forms that reign, but rather the virtue of light itself that governs. <strong>It is the great triumph of common sense, of naturalness, of respect for the seasons and fair production.</strong> Marketing died after the consumer coup d&#8217;&#233;tat orchestrated by Georgina Marchais in 2083: manipulation through images and slogans is now banned by the French Republic.<br>Production is carefully planned to bring balance and rightness: brands may create no more than one new product per year. The Officine seizes this cadence, extending its peregrinations to untouched lands aboard its solar plane, in search of oils, powders, and clays refined by centuries and crowned with effectiveness.</em></p><p><em>Days no longer last 24 but 72 hours. <strong>Time is divided by intervals of sleep.</strong> Learning becomes a passion, one to which all desired leisure time may be devoted. Quills write endlessly, and earthly souls grow patient. The present embraces infinity, while the past tends to the finite nature of memory. The local reigns supreme, standing as the rival of the distant. <strong>Stress, once the infamous yet intoxicating fuel of modern times, no longer disrupts this ode to slowness.</strong><br>Fervour, dedication, talent, and resilience have become new virtues,<strong> </strong>joyfully celebrated in the social sphere. After 250 boutiques, The Officine remains a soothing oasis within the tumult of the city. Wrongly deemed snobbish, at times disdainful, its aristocratic tone and sharp wit have unsettled entrepreneurial convention - it has worked to impose its own rhythm, until time itself, in turn, sought its hand. Theirs is no arranged union, but a convergence as natural as the journey of a stream to the river, shaped by decades, winding through meander after meander.</em></p><div

The questions that accompany her transition to the assertions of adulthood invite us into the Sunday reveries of an Indian princess. </p><p>Oils, exfoliants and treatments act as chapters in this sensational ritual. So, will the massage provided using perfumed oils and essential tools, the purifying scrub and the fervent ablutions be the source of an awaited relaxation of both body and mind? </p><p>This ceremony

vous &#233;pargnent pas : des &#234;tres aim&#233;s vous quittent, une actualit&#233; d&#233;primante et, devant mes fen&#234;tres, une pluie incessante, un ciel gris qui s&#8217;abaisse et mon humeur que rien ne rel&#232;ve. Heureusement, toutes les semaines hivernales ne sont pas aussi dramatiques. <strong>Il y a aussi des rayons de soleil, le ciel cristallin, les premiers bourgeons, l&#8217;&#233;ternelle bonne humeur des chiens.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mon rem&#232;de pour &#233;gayer l&#8217;hibernation, un r&#233;confort &#224; toutes les apr&#232;s-midi grises, est v&#233;g&#233;tal et parfum&#233;. J&#8217;aime les maisons parfum&#233;es, la senteur d&#8217;une bougie (Retour d&#8217;&#201;gypte) ou d&#8217;un alabastre (Alexandrie) qui se rappelle &#224; vous et qui habille la pi&#232;ce. Mais mes odeurs pr&#233;f&#233;r&#233;es sont celles des fleurs changeantes au fil des jours : fra&#238;ches, ent&#234;tantes, discr&#232;tes et pour certaines suaves, et sur la fin, presque animales. <strong>Des odeurs organiques qui m&#8217;enracinent.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mon ann&#233;e commence toujours avec le tendre mimosa, du <strong>mimosa en exc&#232;s</strong>. Pour ce jaune flamboyant, ses pompons duveteux et ce parfum qui l&#8217;habillent les premiers jours. Un parfum dans lequel je plonge mon nez d&#232;s que je passe &#224; proximit&#233;. Ent&#234;tant, miell&#233;, a&#233;rien, le parfum de mon anniversaire de Capricorne chaque ann&#233;e et ce v&#339;u &#224; r&#233;aliser de vivre un jour pr&#232;s d&#8217;un mimosa.</p><div

passion d&#8217;hibernation, ce sont ces fleurs &#224; bulbes qui ont le bon go&#251;t de fleurir avec les rayons filtr&#233;s des fen&#234;tres et l&#8217;atmosph&#232;re propice de nos int&#233;rieurs. <br>La jacinthe, <em>hyacinthus orientalis</em>, est mon obsession hivernale. <strong>Un plaisir &#233;minemment personnel r&#233;serv&#233; &#224; mon bureau, puisque son parfum tr&#232;s capiteux d&#233;pla&#238;t aux miens.</strong> La douceur de ses notes, suaves &#224; l&#8217;extr&#234;me, m&#8217;enlacent et m&#8217;apaisent. Sa hampe florale rebondie me la rend encore plus sympathique. Mes teintes pr&#233;f&#233;r&#233;es sont les bleus et violettes mais, qui peut r&#233;sister au rose un jour de blues hivernal ? Une pr&#233;sence incontournable et pr&#233;cieuse, puisqu&#8217;il n&#8217;existe quasiment plus d&#8217;essence de jacinthe, trop compliqu&#233;e &#224; fabriquer. En parfumerie, elle est recr&#233;&#233;e par des mol&#233;cules synth&#233;tiques.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Heady, honeyed, airy, the scent of my Capricorn birthday each year, and <strong>my wish to one day live near a mimosa tree</strong>.</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Hyacinthus orientalis, is my winter obsession. <strong>It is an eminently personal pleasure reserved for my office, as its heady fragrance is not to the liking of my family.</strong> The softness of its notes, suavely intense, enfolds me and soothes me. Its plump flower stalk makes it even more appealing to me. My favourite shades are blue and violet, but who can resist pink on a day of winter blues? It is an indispensable and precious presence, for the essence of hyacinth is almost impossible to find now, being too complex to produce. In perfumery, it is now recreated using synthetic molecules.</em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Another companion is the elegant narcissus, whose scent of hay and honey grants me a foretaste of summer. The most fragrant is the &#8220;paperwhite&#8221;, Narcissus papyraceus. It is a refined flower, and contemplating it, I am carried back to the legend of Narcissus, <strong>who was so beautiful that he fell in love with his own reflection</strong>.</em></p><p

chacun de ses recoins et s&#8217;instruit au rythme des saisons. C&#8217;est le d&#233;but d&#8217;<strong>un voyage infini, guid&#233; par la patience et la curiosit&#233;</strong>, pour r&#233;colter les secrets et rituels de beaut&#233; du monde entier, qui, par leur efficacit&#233;, r&#233;sistent au temps et ne subissent aucune obsolescence.</p><p>Symbole de virtuosit&#233; et de sagesse, la nature rec&#232;le de joyaux bruts, aux traits simples mais aux vertus presque divines. <strong>Arbres et fleurs, fruits et graines, noyaux et pistils </strong>deviennent de pr&#233;cieux atouts du quotidien pour sublimer la peau, dompter la chevelure, conforter la silhouette et apaiser certains maux de la psych&#233;. Des gestes savamment transmis de g&#233;n&#233;ration en g&#233;n&#233;ration et quelques d&#233;monstrations du g&#233;nie humain permettent de transformer ces mati&#232;res primaires en huiles, mac&#233;rats et beurres bienfaisants. Des soins miraculeux qui s&#8217;accordent corps et &#226;me sur un point : <strong>le moins est toujours le mieux. Surtout quand il est affaire de beaut&#233;.</strong></p><p>Prendre soin de soi est naturellement source de joie et de satisfaction personnelle. Un art &#8211; aussi agr&#233;able &#224; ma&#238;triser qu&#8217;&#224; partager &#8211; qui ne n&#233;cessite que tr&#232;s peu de moyens mais r&#233;alise de grandes prouesses. De cette simplicit&#233; na&#238;t la plus b&#233;n&#233;fique des r&#233;compenses... la Beaut&#233; au Naturel.</p><p>L&#8217;Officine Universelle Buly vous enseigne quelques lexiques bien choisis afin que vos soins ch&#233;ris, compagnons de salle de bains, n&#8217;aient plus aucun secret.</p><blockquote><p>&#171; Nature peut tout et fait tout. &#187;<br><strong>Michel de

<br></strong>Directement extraites du noyau, des graines, des p&#233;pins ou de la pulpe par pression &#224; froid, les huiles de plantes regorgent de vertus et r&#233;pondent &#224; tous les tracas que peuvent rencontrer une peau contrari&#233;e, une chevelure essouffl&#233;e ou bien une silhouette en qu&#234;te de fermet&#233;. La vertu principale de leur composition est son <strong>extraordinaire simplicit&#233; </strong>: un seul ingr&#233;dient nomm&#233; par son nom botanique sur l&#8217;&#233;tiquette.<br>Les huiles de plantes sont <strong>nourrissantes par essence et extraordinairement bien tol&#233;r&#233;es par la peau</strong>. Elles honorent la beaut&#233; par leur grande g&#233;n&#233;rosit&#233;, leur simplicit&#233; et leur <strong>richesse en vitamines et acide gras</strong>. Les pr&#233;cieux ingr&#233;dients bruts sont le plus souvent r&#233;colt&#233;s un &#224; un &#224; la main, et n&#233;cessitent grand nombre de contorsions lors de la cueillette.

was its mother - Man has explored the farthest confines of the world, getting lost in each of its corners and learning from the rhythm of the seasons. <strong>This is the beginning of an infinite journey, guided by patience and curiosity</strong>, to collect beauty secrets and rituals from all over the world, which, thanks to their effectiveness, stand the test of time and never become obsolete.</em></p><p><em>A symbol of virtuosity and wisdom, nature harbours raw jewels, with simple features but almost divine virtues. <strong>Trees and flowers, fruits and seeds, stones and pistils</strong> become precious everyday assets that enhance the skin, tame the hair, comfort the figure and soothe certain psychic woes. Gestures that are skilfully passed down from generation to generation and a few demonstrations of human genius enable these primary materials to be transformed into beneficial oils, macerates and butters. Miraculous skin care products that wholeheartedly converge on one point: <strong>less is always more. Especially when it comes to beauty.</strong></em></p><p><em>Taking care of oneself is naturally a source of joy and personal satisfaction. It is an art - as pleasant to master as it is to share - that requires very few resources but achieves great feats. From this simplicity comes the most beneficial of rewards... Natural Beauty.</em></p><p><em>The Officine Universelle Buly teaches you some well-chosen lexicons so that your cherished bathroom companions no longer hold any secrets</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Nature is capable of doing everything.&#8221; </em>&#8239;<br><em><strong>Michel de Montaigne</strong></em>&#8239;</p></blockquote><div

philosophe Friedrich Nietzsche &#224; la &#8220;roche sauvage&#8221; est entour&#233;e d&#8217;un v&#233;ritable myst&#232;re</strong>. Le min&#233;ral, mati&#232;re inorganique, cristallis&#233;e, est le fruit d&#8217;un processus g&#233;ologique immens&#233;ment long, qui d&#233;fie la perception humaine du temps. </p><p>Puissante, la pierre fait partie int&#233;grante du monde de la beaut&#233; dont il constitue un &#233;crin particulier. La construction, tr&#232;s sophistiqu&#233;e, de superbes thermes d&#232;s le Ve si&#232;cle av. J.-C. &#224; Rome &#233;tablit une pratique qui se r&#233;pand en six si&#232;cles dans tout l&#8217;Empire. L&#8217;usage de ces cath&#233;drales d&#233;di&#233;es au bain perdure et se transforme, comme en Afrique du Nord et au Moyen-Orient avec les hammams, faisant du bain dans ce somptueux cadre de pierre le signe d&#8217;<strong>un art de vivre et d&#8217;un puissant rituel social</strong>. Aujourd&#8217;hui, cette esth&#233;tique de pierre se retrouve dans des bains d&#8217;exception, tels que les majestueux thermes de Vals en Suisse, construits en 1993 par l&#8217;architecte radical Peter Zumthor. Le gneiss, une pierre m&#233;tamorphique grise, leur conf&#232;re l&#8217;aspect brutaliste d&#8217;un monolithe. <strong>Qu&#8217;elle entoure ou qu&#8217;elle nourrisse, la roche majestueuse a toute sa place pr&#232;s du corps et de l&#8217;organique pour les ressourcer, &#224; l&#8217;infini. </strong></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Nietzsche described, there is a real mystery in &#8220;the rough divinity of the wild rock&#8221;</strong>. Minerals are an inorganic, crystallised matter resulting from an immensely long geological process that surpasses the human perception of time.</em></p><p><em>With its power, stone is an integral part of the world of beauty, of which it constitutes a special setting. As from the 5th century BC, Roman architects constructed very sophisticated superb baths, thus establishing a practice that spread over six centuries across the entire empire, leaving archaeological evidence that we can observe today. The use of these bath cathedrals continues and is transformed, for instance, in hammams (Turkish baths) in North Africa and the Middle East, where bathing in this sumptuous stone setting becomes <strong>the sign of an art of living and a strong social ritual</strong>. Today, this aesthetic of stonework is found in exceptional baths, such as the majestic Vals thermal baths in Switzerland, built in 1993 by the radical architect Peter Zumthor. Gneiss, a grey metamorphic stone, gives them the brutalist appearance of a monolith. <strong>Whether it encircles or nourishes, the majestic rock plays a significant role with regard to the body and the organic, replenishing them to infinity.</strong></em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Christ </strong> <br><strong>Rome, Italy</strong></p><p>It was in Rome, in the year ten BC, that Cassia intimately reveals her beauty routine, a prelude to her meeting with the emperor. This case containing recipes and beauty accessories from near and far is her great treasure. With the help of the curious Phoebe, who knows all the gestures and manners to satisfy the coquettish desires of women, she begins this morning ritual with preciousness and attention to detail. </p><p>They chatter and share mundane comments, while preparing her face with balms that are sometimes wonderful, and at times repulsive. Intended for the tenderness of her skin, the ruby colour of her lips, the harmony of her eyebrows, the immaculateness of her teeth, the intensity of her gaze and the choicely chosen message of her perfume, this ceremony is performed in the projection of a sure seduction&#8230; </p><p>This is how this bundle of references from yesteryear questions the brushstrokes and combs of our time.</p><div

prendre son temps... par les temps qui courent. Souvent lacunaire et volatile, emport&#233; par la fr&#233;n&#233;sie d&#8217;un monde qui tourne &#224; cent &#224; l&#8217;heure, <strong>Messire Temps se d&#233;robe, il nous fausse compagnie. </strong></p><p>Le temps, une notion universellement connue et endur&#233;e, demeure n&#233;anmoins l&#8217;un des grands myst&#232;res de l&#8217;humanit&#233;. Questionn&#233; par les t&#234;tes pensantes des si&#232;cles derniers, il se morphe en mille aspects : la distinction cart&#233;sienne du temps et de la dur&#233;e ; les deux d&#233;cennies qu&#8217;il fallut &#224; Montaigne pour r&#233;diger ses<em> Essais</em> (p&#233;riode n&#233;cessaire pour pr&#233;tendre &#224; la sagesse) ; la fuite perp&#233;tuelle et douloureuse de l&#8217;instant pr&#233;sent chez Pascal ; Courtin et son<em> Trait&#233; de la paresse ou L&#8217;Art de bien employer son temp</em>s ; la notion bergsonienne qui m&#233;riterait sa propre d&#233;p&#234;che ; enfin, Kant et sa routine journali&#232;re, plus &#224; l&#8217;heure qu&#8217;une horloge de clocher. Parfois imag&#233; sur les toiles de grands peintres ou interpr&#233;t&#233; dans de m&#233;lodieuses partitions, <strong>le temps est au c&#339;ur des r&#233;flexions</strong>, et ce depuis toujours.</p><blockquote><p>&#171; Nous ne nous tenons jamais au temps pr&#233;sent. Nous anticipons l&#8217;avenir comme trop lent &#224; venir, comme pour h&#226;ter son cours, ou nous rappelons le pass&#233; pour l&#8217;arr&#234;ter comme trop prompt, si imprudents que nous errons dans les temps qui ne sont point n&#244;tres et ne pensons point au seul qui nous appartient, et si vains que nous songeons &#224; ceux qui ne sont rien, et &#233;chappons sans r&#233;flexion le seul qui subsiste. &#187; <br><strong>Fragment de &#8220;Vanit&#233;&#8221; , Pens&#233;es, Blaise Pascal, 1667</strong></p></blockquote><p>On le c&#233;l&#232;bre autant qu&#8217;on ne le redoute, et sa perception s&#8217;harmonise au gr&#233; des humeurs, des temp&#233;raments et des occupations : de l&#8217;ennui o&#249; il semble s&#8217;&#233;terniser &#224; l&#8217;infini, aux instants de joie o&#249; il se fait fugace. Le rapport au temps est propre &#224; chacun, mais une id&#233;e demeure irr&#233;futable : <strong>il est plus agr&#233;able de vivre en prenant son temps</strong>. Accordons-lui conjointement l'espace d&#8217;exister. En vacances comme &#224; la maison, en amiti&#233; comme en amour &#8211; l'amour qu'on destine &#224; autrui comme celui que l&#8217;on se porte. Enfin, pour prendre soin de sa beaut&#233;. <strong>&#201;tirer un mouvement quelques secondes suppl&#233;mentaires, se masser sans h&#226;te, ralentir sa cadence et pr&#234;ter attention &#224; ce qui se joue autour de soi.</strong></p><blockquote><p>&#171; Le temps adoucit tout. &#187;<em><strong><br></strong></em><strong>L&#8217;Ing&#233;nu, Voltaire, 1767</strong></p></blockquote><p>Halte &#224; tous les vifs caract&#232;res et autres grands press&#233;s des temps modernes qui s&#8217;&#233;lancent dans la vie sans profiter du paysage. <strong>Halte &#224; tous les lapins blancs d&#8217;Alice au Pays des Merveilles dont la perp&#233;tuelle tardivet&#233; cause bien des tourments.</strong> Halte enfin &#224; tous ceux qui, par peur de manquer de temps, restent statiques face &#224; la ronde exemplaire des aiguilles horlog&#232;res. Apprenez &#224; d&#233;penser l'instant sans lui courir apr&#232;s. Autorisez-vous quelques ralentissements et gardez en t&#234;te que la perte de temps n'est point paresse, mais bien preuve de raison.</p><blockquote><p>&#171; Mon passe-temps favori, c&#8217;est laisser passer le temps, avoir du temps, prendre son temps, perdre son temps, vivre &#224; contretemps. &#187; <br><strong>Fran&#231;oise Sagan</strong></p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fs4d!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fs4d!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fs4d!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fs4d!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fs4d!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fs4d!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg" width="553" height="446.35" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1130,&quot;width&quot;:1400,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:553,&quot;bytes&quot;:237408,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://officineuniversellebuly.substack.com/i/187855320?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fs4d!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fs4d!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fs4d!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fs4d!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc08601bd-ce07-471c-98e1-d2f8ef091eb4_1400x1130.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h6>Nature morte &#224; la dormeuse, Henri Matisse, 1940</h6><div><hr></div><p><em><strong>THE VIRTUE OF SLOWING DOWN</strong><br>It is so pleasant to take our time... these days. So often fleeting and elusive, swept away by the frenzy of a world spinning at breakneck speed, <strong>Master Time slips away, leaving us behind</strong>.</em></p><p><em>Time, a notion universally known and endured, remains nonetheless one of the great mysteries of humanity. Questioned by the great thinkers of the past few centuries, it takes on a thousand forms: the Cartesian distinction between time and duration; the two decades it took Montaigne to write his Essays (a period deemed necessary for any claim to wisdom); the relentless, painful flight from the present moment in Pascal&#8217;s thought; Courtin and his Trait&#233; de la Paresse (Treatise on Laziness), or L&#8217;Art de bien employer son temps (The Art of Making Good Use of One&#8217;s Time), the Bergson&#8217;s notion that deserves a dispatch of its own; and lastly, Kant and his daily routine that was more punctual than a church clock. Sometimes depicted on the canvases of great painters or interpreted in melodious scores, <strong>time has always been at the heart of our reflections</strong>. </em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We never keep to the present. We anticipate the future as if we found it too slow in coming and we were trying to hurry it up, or we recall the past as if to stay its too rapid flight. We are so unwise that we wander about in time that do not belong to us, and do not think of the only one that does; so vain that we dream of times that are not and blindly flee the only one that is.&#8221;<br><strong>Fragment from &#8220;Vanit&#233;&#8221;, Pens&#233;es, Blaise Pascal, 1667</strong></em></p></blockquote><p><em>We celebrate it as much as we dread it, and the way we perceive it varies according to our moods, temperaments and occupations: from the boredom in which it seems to stretch to infinity, to moments of joy when it slips away like a wisp. Each and everyone&#8217;s relationship with time is unique, yet one truth remains undeniable: <strong>life is more pleasant when we take our time. </strong>Let us give it the space it needs to exist. On holiday and at home, in friendship and in love - the love we feel for others and the love we extend to ourselves. And finally, the time to take care of our beauty: <strong>prolonging a gesture by a few more seconds, massaging ourselves without haste, slowing down our pace and paying attention to what is going on around us.</strong></em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Time softens everything.&#8221;<strong><br>L&#8217;Ing&#233;nu, Voltaire, 1767</strong></em></p></blockquote><p><em>A halt to all the lively characters and other great hurriers of modern times who rush through life without taking advantage of the scenery. <strong>No more Alice in Wonderland white rabbits whose perpetual tardiness causes so much torment. </strong>Stop, at last, all those who, for fear of running out of time, remain static in the face of the exemplary round of the clock hands. Learn to spend the moment without chasing after it. Allow yourself a few slowdowns and keep in mind that wasting time is not laziness, but proof of reason.</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;My favourite pastime is letting time pass, having time, taking my time, wasting time, living against the clock.&#8221;<br><strong>Fran&#231;oise Sagan</strong></em></p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

l&#8217;humeur</strong><em><strong><br>par Anna Bartolomei</strong></em></p><p>Il est souvent plus facile de conna&#238;tre l&#8217;&#233;tat d&#8217;esprit d&#8217;une personne par simple observation que par l&#8217;usage de la parole. Car si parfois les mots peuvent &#234;tre trompeurs, le regard lui, ne ment pas. Il en est &#233;trangement de m&#234;me pour la coiffure. &#192; l&#8217;image d&#8217;une boule de cristal, <strong>les cheveux des uns &#8211; et plus particuli&#232;rement leur agencement &#8211; font la curiosit&#233; des autres</strong>. Si l&#8217;on sugg&#232;re que le visage est le miroir de l&#8217;&#226;me, alors la coiffure devient ais&#233;ment celui de l&#8217;humeur. Je dois reconna&#238;tre qu&#8217;il y a quelque chose de r&#233;cr&#233;atif (voire plaisant) dans l&#8217;acte de contempler la coupe des personnes qui m&#8217;entourent, tout particuli&#232;rement au travail, car celle-ci prend l&#8217;allure d&#8217;un pr&#233;sage : la journ&#233;e sera-t-elle douce ou contrariante ?</p><p>Officiant pour une marque o&#249; le cheveu a toute son importance, il &#233;tait tout naturel que je me penche de plus pr&#232;s sur la question. Apr&#232;s r&#233;flexion, elle d&#233;tient autant de r&#233;ponses que d&#8217;&#233;pis sur ma t&#234;te. Il n&#8217;est pas ici affaire de jugement ou d&#8217;apparence, mais d&#8217;<strong>un principe bien plus profond que je nommerai </strong><em><strong>&#8220;la psychologie du cheveu&#8221;</strong>,</em> qui, soit dit en passant, m&#233;riterait bien une branche d&#233;di&#233;e dans l&#8217;&#233;tude du genre humain. Que cache cette m&#232;che plac&#233;e avec minutie entre la tempe et le regard ? Pourquoi cette crini&#232;re habituellement bien ordonn&#233;e est-elle aujourd&#8217;hui en crise de r&#233;bellion ? Est-ce que ce chignon tir&#233; &#224; quatre &#233;pingles pr&#233;c&#232;de quelques d&#233;cisions s&#233;v&#232;res ou tout simplement une r&#233;union de la plus haute importance ? Une crini&#232;re lisse qui ondule comme par magie n&#8217;annonce-elle pas un d&#233;jeuner galant ? <strong>Chaque mouvement de m&#232;che impose un nouveau sc&#233;nario</strong> et il est parfois ardu... de ne pas perdre la t&#234;te !</p><p>Puis, en observant les coiffes des autres et en imaginant les histoires qu&#8217;elles sugg&#232;rent, je me suis alors demand&#233; si moi-m&#234;me j&#8217;&#233;tais &#233;pi&#233;e. Peut-&#234;tre que ce que je souhaite cacher par-dessus tout, mon humeur, &#233;tait finalement bien visible, l&#224;, au sommet de mon cr&#226;ne. Et, c&#8217;est non sans surprise que je d&#233;couvris que les coiffures que j&#8217;arbore au bureau (fi&#232;rement ou a contrario, avec discr&#233;tion) &#233;taient toutes incroyablement codifi&#233;es : les deux nattes sont un acte pr&#233;paratoire &#224; une festivit&#233; ; elles sont essentielles pour obtenir de gracieuses ondulations. Si vous me voyez d&#233;barquer avec un chignon miniature entour&#233; d&#8217;un grand chouchou de velours, prenez garde ! <strong>Ce chignon signifie &#8220;ne pas d&#233;ranger, je risquerais de mordre&#8221;.</strong> C&#8217;est la coiffure des nuits mal lun&#233;es et des journ&#233;es grin&#231;antes. La tresse unique et haut perch&#233;e ? Je souhaite para&#238;tre appr&#234;t&#233;e sans trop d&#8217;effort ou bien, que j&#8217;offre &#224; mes cheveux un bain d&#8217;huile en toute impunit&#233; (et sans intimit&#233;). Enfin, les jours de f&#233;licit&#233; absolue, j&#8217;arbore des cheveux parfaitement propres et d&#233;m&#234;l&#233;s, ayant re&#231;u tous mes soins au petit matin. Ils sont libres, soyeux et virevoltants, port&#233;s par un bon vent, le mistral des jours heureux o&#249; l&#8217;air est frais, le ciel bleu et l&#8217;humeur radieuse.</p><p>Apr&#232;s ces quelques vers r&#233;v&#233;lateurs, je me retire et me consacre &#224; l&#8217;observation des crini&#232;res avoisinantes et &#224; l&#8217;&#233;laboration de th&#233;ories imaginaires. J&#8217;esp&#232;re surtout avoir suscit&#233; chez vous quelques nouvelles activit&#233;s p&#233;ri-professionnelles. Maintenant prenez miroir et &#233;tudiez votre humeur.</p><p><em><strong>Anna Bartolomei <br>Au service de l&#8217;Officine depuis 2021</strong></em></p><div

mon bureau &#8211; 27/29 rue Gu&#233;n&#233;gaud, Paris 6e</h6><div><hr></div><p><strong>How hairstyle mirrors the mood</strong><em><br><strong>by Anna Bartolomei</strong></em></p><p><em>It is often easier to gauge a person&#8217;s state of mind simply by observing them than by talking to them. Words can sometimes be misleading, but the gaze never lies. Strangely enough, the same is true of hairstyles. Like a crystal ball, <strong>the hair of some &#8211; and more specifically how it is arranged &#8211; arouses the curiosity of others</strong>. If we suggest that the face is the mirror of the soul, then hairstyles easily become the mirror of mood. I must admit that there is something almost playful (even delightful) about contemplating the hairstyles of those around me, especially at work, as it takes on the appearance of an omen: will the day be pleasant or trying?</em></p><p><em>Working for a brand where hair holds a central place, it was only natural that I should look more closely into the matter. Upon reflection, it conceals as many answers as there are strands on my own head. This is not a matter of judgement or appearance, but of <strong>a much deeper principle that I shall call &#8220;the psychology of hair&#8221;</strong>, which, by the way, deserves a dedicated branch in the study of humankind. What lies beneath that carefully placed strand of hair between the temple and the eye? Why is that usually well-ordered mane in the throes of rebellion today? Does that immaculately pinned-up bun herald some stern decisions or simply a meeting of the utmost importance? And does that sleek mane, wavy as if by magic, not hint at a romantic lunch? <strong>Every movement of a hair lock suggests a new scenario</strong>, and it can sometimes be arduous... not to lose one&#8217;s head!</em></p><p><em>Then, observing others people&#8217;s hairstyles and imagining the stories they suggest, I began to wonder whether I myself was being watched. Perhaps what I wanted to cover up most of all, my mood, was ultimately clearly visible there, at the crown of my head. And, to my surprise, I discovered that the hairstyles I wear at the office (proudly or, conversely, discreetly) were all remarkably codified: two plaits are a preparatory act for a celebration; they are essential for achieving graceful waves. If you see me arrive with a miniature bun surrounded by a large velvet scrunchie, take heed! <strong>This bun means &#8220;do not disturb, I might bite&#8221;.</strong> It&#8217;s the hairstyle for ill-tempered nights and grumpy days. The single, high-perched braid? It means I wish to appear well put-together without too much effort, or that I want to give my hair an oil bath with complete impunity (and without privacy). Lastly, on days of absolute bliss, I favour hair that is perfectly clean and detangled, having given it my full attention at first light. It is free, silky and twirling, carried by a gentle breeze, the mistral of cheerful days when the air is fresh, the sky is blue and the mood is radiant.</em></p><p><em>After these few revealing lines, I shall withdraw and devote myself to observing the surrounding manes and to devising imaginary theories. Above all, I hope to have inspired you to take up a few new professional side pursuits. Now take a mirror and study your mood.</em></p><p><em><strong>Anna Bartolomei <br>In the service of the Officine since 2021</strong></em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

&#233;tait une fois, dans un Paris fort, fort lointain, une Officine aux bois imp&#233;riaux et aux verreries cristallines, qui renfermait en son antre un tr&#233;sor dont la valeur &#233;galait celle de mille et une montagnes d&#8217;or. Il &#233;tait gard&#233; par une princesse &#224; la chevelure soyeuse, tir&#233;e en un chignon, la jupe longue et pliss&#233;e pour parure. Dans son &#339;il on pouvait lire l&#8217;&#233;tincelle du savoir et l&#8217;intelligence du sage. Sur son visage, la beaut&#233; incomparable d&#8217;un ange. De vaillants explorateurs &#8211; et certains mercenaires &#8211; partirent &#224; sa conqu&#234;te, boussoles et cartes en main, sans ne jamais parvenir &#224; trouver l&#8217;entr&#233;e de ce temple enchanteur.</p><p>Un beau jour, quelques si&#232;cles plus tard, un jeune dandy &#224; l&#8217;allure soign&#233;e et aux &#233;pis correctement peign&#233;s, arpentait les rues du tr&#232;s c&#244;toy&#233; 6e arrondissement &#224; la recherche de quelques nouvelles aventures. Non loin des abords de la Seine, en la rue Bonaparte, il aper&#231;ut la lueur d&#8217;une discr&#232;te lumi&#232;re. Le courageux jeune homme poussa la poterne et fut plong&#233; dans une semi-obscurit&#233; &#8211; divinement parfum&#233;e &#8211; &#224; l&#8217;accueil chaleureux. Il gratta une allumette, et, &#224; la clart&#233; d&#8217;une flamme dansante, la magie op&#233;ra. Stup&#233;faction ! Des flacons de verre, des pierres pr&#233;cieuses, des poudres color&#233;es, des vases antiques, des bijoux capillaires aux lettrages dor&#233;s, des bo&#238;tes &#224; baumes et autres splendeurs s&#8217;accumulaient &#224; perte de vue. Un v&#233;ritable palais de bois et de marbre ! Fi&#232;rement, une lanterne tr&#244;nait sur l&#8217;imposant comptoir. Il l&#8217;observa, la frotta mais rien ne se produisit. Il l&#8217;observa encore. Puis, pris d&#8217;ing&#233;niosit&#233;, poussa d&#233;licatement le petit interrupteur en laiton. Clic. La salle s&#8217;&#233;claira de toute sa grandeur et une senteur digne des cieux enivra le jeune aventurier. Mais c&#8217;est sans nul doute notre Belle Princesse, face &#224; lui, qui fit succomber son c&#339;ur et lui fit tourna la t&#234;te. De cette lumi&#232;re enchant&#233;e naquit un amour sillonn&#233; de parfum. Lanterne en main et tr&#233;sors en poche, ils v&#233;curent heureux, parfum&#233;s et &#233;ternellement beaux.<br>&#171; <strong>Qui frotte la lanterne se verra enivr&#233; de parfum...</strong> &#187;</p><blockquote><p>&#171; <strong>On peut r&#233;pandre la lumi&#232;re de deux fa&#231;ons : &#234;tre la bougie, ou le miroir qui la refl&#232;te. &#187;</strong><br>Edith

1912</em></h6><div><hr></div><p><em><strong>A Tale of the Officine Universelle Buly</strong></em></p><p><em>Once upon a time, in a Paris far, far away, there was an Officine with imperial woods and crystalline glass, which held within its depths a treasure worth as much as a thousand and one mountains of gold. It was guarded by a princess with silky hair, pulled back into a bun, wearing a long, pleated skirt as adornment. In her eyes, one could read the spark of knowledge and the wisdom of a sage. Upon her face, the incomparable beauty of an angel. Valiant explorers &#8211; and a few mercenaries &#8211; set out to conquer it, compasses and maps in hand, yet never managed to find the entrance to this enchanting temple. One fine day, a few centuries later, a young dandy with a neat appearance and carefully combed hair was strolling through the streets of the fashionable 6th arrondissement in search of new adventures. Not far from the banks of the Seine, on Rue Bonaparte, he caught sight of the glow of a discreet light. The brave young man pushed open the gate and found himself plunged into semi-darkness &#8211; divinely perfumed &#8211; greeted with warmth. He struck a match, and in the flickering light of the flame, the magic began. Astonishment! Glass vials, precious stones, coloured powders, antique vases, hair jewellery adorned with gilded lettering, boxes of balms and other splendours were piled up as far as the eye could see.</em></p><p><em>A magnificent palace of wood and marble! A lantern sat proudly upon the imposing counter. He looked at it, rubbed it, but nothing happened. He looked at it again. Then, struck by a stroke of genius, he gently pressed the small brass switch. Click. The room lit up in all its grandeur and a heavenly scent intoxicated the young adventurer. Yet, it was undoubtedly our fair princess, standing before him, who stole his heart and turned his head. From this enchanted light sprang a love filled with fragrance. Lantern in hand and treasures in their pockets, they lived happily ever after, fragrant and eternally radiant. &#8220;<strong>Whoever rubs the lantern will be enraptured by its scent&#8230;&#8221;</strong></em></p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;I am out with lanterns, looking for myself&#8221;<br></strong>Emily Dickinson</em></p></blockquote><div

The moving stars take up their brand-new positions, the planets &#8211; after circling for 360 days &#8211; stand still, and the constellations align themselves in favour of the freshly arrived year. A new karmic climate sweeps across the globe and caresses its dwellers &#8211; O simple earthlings: a breath of construction rather than disruption, of coherence rather than wandering, of fulfilment rather than hesitation. The projects left suspended in the year two thousand and twenty-five take flight, the mind gains in clarity, the body, though tried, finds serenity. All in all, a year of transition, where the only condition imposed by the heavens is daring to act. </em></p><blockquote><p><em><strong>As the saying has it, it is always better to act than to react.</strong></em></p></blockquote><p><em>The Officine believes in celestial omens and, from behind its wooden counter, interprets the movements of the stars and the bearing of the constellations in order to read their premonitions. Whether you are a fervent astral connoisseur, a proven palm reader, curious about the imaginary, or an eternal doubter, you will delight in discovering what the heavens have in store for your zodiac sign and what the Officine recommends for your beauty.</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

</strong>there is a great number of adjectives to describe this hairy attribute that has travelled through history with a panache worthy of a thrilling novel. In the Egypt of the Pharaohs, the beard was a symbol of divinity; in Sparta, it represented strength and courage, while in Athens it was more philosophical: people preferred to be decapitated rather than carry out the crime of shaving it off! The following centuries did not bode well and established a paradoxical era: banished in Rome for the neglected image it impregnated on faces, it was finally introduced to imitate the wise appearance of the Greeks&#8230; its appearance and disappearances on European faces lasted at least fifteen centuries. Noteworthy fact, in the 15<sup>th</sup> century, the bearded Henry VIII introduced a progressive tax according to the size of the mane. His sweet daughter took pity on little beards, and ordered the effectiveness of taxation for beards &#8220;longer than two weeks&#8221;. 16<sup>th</sup> century: the Italian Court was in vogue, making the European aristocracy aware of the need to wear it. Fran&#231;ois I of France revived the fashion with a codification set up as a social marker. In the 17<sup>th</sup> century, the end of hair amusement on both cheeks and chins: the wig was adopted. A century later, in Russia, Peter the Great introduced the tax on the beard: it was considered too peasant in a country in the throes of transformation. With the advent of the 19<sup>th</sup> century, Nicolas I reintroduced the Tsarina moustache, and Alexander II dared to wear a beard. In France, poets, writers, statesmen sported them with pride and&#8230; triumphant stature. Sometimes absent, sometimes present, the paradox flirts with aesthetic schizophrenia: it returned during the hippie movements of the 1960s and 70s. Today, trends are no longer relevant: it is more a question of personal sensitivity. If you wear it, it is recommendable to take great care of it. Before the launch of a new tax!</em></p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;A beard does not make a philosopher.&#8221;<br></strong>Plutarque</em></p></blockquote>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Il est plus agréable de vivre dans une maison bien parfumée]]></title><description><![CDATA[It is more pleasant to live in a well-perfumed home]]></description><link>https://officineuniversellebuly.substack.com/p/il-est-plus-agreable-de-vivre-dans</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://officineuniversellebuly.substack.com/p/il-est-plus-agreable-de-vivre-dans</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Officine Universelle Buly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 23 Jan 2026 16:50:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Dyft!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fddffe0cb-63eb-43e1-8d3b-36f90cea9a97_915x728.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>(for English readers, descend under the second painting.)</em></p><p><strong>C&#8217;est ici le parfum qui fait la maison. </strong>L&#8217;heure n&#8217;est donc pas au spectacle, mais bien au parfum du quotidien.

Le chez-soi parfum&#233; se fait l&#8217;ultime rep&#232;re de l&#8217;intime. Pleinement v&#244;tre, il permet, plus rapidement, de s&#8217;abandonner au charme et au confort de sa demeure. <strong>C&#8217;est bien le parfum qui fait la maison.</strong></p><div

enchantement du quotidien<br></strong>&#171; Parfumer sa maison est un exercice de style b&#233;n&#233;fique &#224; la douceur de vivre, aux humeurs de ses habitants et de ses visiteurs. Mon premier usage, banal et indispensable, est de domestiquer les odeurs famili&#232;res. Le second est d&#8217;accentuer l&#8217;allure d&#8217;un d&#233;cor en s&#233;lectionnant la juste senteur pour l&#8217;atmosph&#232;re d&#8217;une pi&#232;ce. Dans les officines, la collection des parfums d&#8217;atmosph&#232;re est g&#233;n&#233;reuse afin de respecter la singularit&#233; des go&#251;ts et des inclinaisons de chacun.Ce savoir-faire parfum&#233; se d&#233;ploie &#224; travers diff&#233;rents instruments : bougies, bois, alabastres, allumettes et encens. Une qu&#234;te d&#8217;architecture olfactive &#224; entreprendre dans nos vies avec le m&#234;me panache que les aristocrates de la cour imp&#233;riale de Heian, au XIe si&#232;cle au Japon, qui se livraient &#224; des tournois d&#8217;odeurs en m&#233;langeant encens, aromates et bois odorants. Imaginer le parfum d&#8217;une pi&#232;ce comme on le ferait d&#8217;un parfum de peau, qu&#8217;on choisit pour soi, c&#8217;est pour moi la touche ultime et immat&#233;rielle de la d&#233;coration. &#192; chaque pi&#232;ce son parfum, une identit&#233; olfactive qui tapisse silencieusement les murs. Elisabeth de Feydeau &#233;crit joliment : &#171; Dans la civilisation islamique, le beau se respire et respirer donne la vie &#187;. Cette tradition arabe des fumigations de bois et d&#8217;encens dans les rituels de r&#233;ception, les anc&#234;tres de nos bougies parfum&#233;es, refl&#232;te le d&#233;sir universel de partager la beaut&#233;. Parfumer sa maison est un geste intime et le signe d&#8217;une certaine hospitalit&#233; olfactive. Accueillir l&#8217;autre aimablement signifie l&#8217;intimit&#233; partag&#233;e. Une maison parfum&#233;e avec d&#233;licatesse comme un savoir-vivre pour soi et pour les autres. &#187; <em><strong>Victoire de Taillac</strong></em></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>CORPUS PO&#201;TIQUE POUR INT&#201;RIEUR PARFUM&#201;</strong></p><blockquote><p>&#171; Volupt&#233; des parfums ! &#8211; Oui, toute odeur est f&#233;e :<br>Si j&#8217;&#233;pluche, le soir, une orange &#233;chauff&#233;e,<br>Je r&#234;ve de th&#233;&#226;tre et de profonds d&#233;cors ;<br>Si je br&#251;le un fagot, je vois, sonnant leurs cors,<br>Dans la for&#234;t d&#8217;hiver les chasseurs faire halte ;<br>Si je traverse enfin ce brouillard que l&#8217;asphalte<br>R&#233;pand, infect et noir, autour de son chaudron,<br>Je me crois sur un quai parfum&#233;, de goudron,<br>Regardant s&#8217;avancer, blanche, une go&#233;lette,<br>Parmi les diamants de la mer violette. &#187;<br><em><strong>Fran&#231;ois Copp&#233;e, Promenades et int&#233;rieurs, 1872</strong></em></p></blockquote><p><em><strong><br></strong></em>&#171; C&#8217;&#233;taient de ses chambres de province qui nous enchantent de mille odeurs qu&#8217;y d&#233;gagent les vertus, la sagesse, les habitudes, toute une vie secr&#232;te, invisible, surabondante et morale que l&#8217;atmosph&#232;re y tient en suspens ; odeurs naturelles encore, certes et couleur du temps comme celles de la campagne voisine, mais d&#233;j&#224; casani&#232;res humaine et renferm&#233;es, gel&#233;e exquise industrieuse et limpide de tous les fruits de l&#8217;ann&#233;e qui ont quitt&#233; le verger pour l&#8217;armoire: saisonni&#232;re mais mobili&#232;re et domestique, corrigeant le piquant de la gel&#233;e blanche par la douceur du pain chaud, oisives et ponctuelles comme une horloge de village, fl&#226;neuses et rang&#233;es, insoucieuses et pr&#233;voyantes, ling&#232;res, matinales, d&#233;votes, heureuses d&#8217;une paix qui n&#8217;apporte qu&#8217;un surcro&#238;t d&#8217;anxi&#233;t&#233; et d&#8217;un prosa&#239;sme qui sert de grand r&#233;servoir de po&#233;sie &#224; celui qui la traverse sans y avoir v&#233;cu.

home.</strong> This is therefore not a time for show, but for everyday perfume. Inhabit your home fully and furnish it with your tastes and your fragrant imagination. The scent must reflect the image of the inhabitants, be them bold or delicate. Olfactory architecture is an intimate and ephemeral structure. Each season has its own olfactory identity, each day its own fragrant mood. Likewise, when it comes to perfuming your home, gesture is of utmost importance: the crackle of a flame, the opening of a porcelain container, the flick of a match, the click of a light switch, and lastly, the silence of a pencil... all so many gestures that perfume with precision and elegance enhancing the pleasure of being at home.</em></p><p><em>Just like an invisible boundary to be crossed, the interior fragrance differs from that of the exterior. The perfumed home becomes the ultimate landmark of intimacy. First of all, it is entirely yours, and enables you to quickly surrender to the charm and comfort of your own home. <strong>It is the scent that makes it home.</strong></em></p><div

home is a daily delight<br></strong>&#8220;Perfuming your home is an exercise in style that enhances the art of living and lifts up the moods of its inhabitants and visitors. <br>Both trivial and essential, my first use is to tame familiar smells. The second is to accentuate the allure of a d&#233;cor by choosing the right scent for the atmosphere of a room. In the Officines, the collection of home fragrances is generous, so as to respect the singular tastes and inclinations of each person. This perfumed know-how is deployed through different tools: candles, wood, alabasters, matches and incense. A quest for olfactory architecture to be undertaken in our lives with the same panache as the aristocrats of the imperial court of Heian, in 11<sup>th</sup> century Japan, who engaged in scent tournaments by mixing incense, aromatics and fragrant woods. Imagining the perfume of a room as you would imagine a skin perfume, that you choose for yourself, is for me the ultimate, immaterial touch in interior decoration. Each room has its own scent, an olfactory identity that silently lines the walls. Elisabeth de Feydeau splendidly writes: &#8220;In Islamic civilisation, beauty is breathed and breathing gives life&#8221;. This Arab tradition of wood and incense fumigations in hospitality rituals, the ancestors of our scented candles, reflects the universal desire to share beauty. <br>Perfuming your home is an intimate ritual and a sign of olfactory hospitality. Welcoming others kindly means sharing intimacy. An exquisitely scented home is a way of life for yourself and for others.&#8221; <strong>Victoire de Taillac</strong></em></p><div><hr></div><p><em><strong>POETIC CORPUS FOR A FRAGRANT INTERIOR</strong></em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Houses and rooms are full of perfumes, <br>the shelves are crowded with perfumes, <br>I breathe the fragrance myself and know it and like it,<br>The distillation would intoxicate me also, but l shall not let it.&#8221;<br><strong>Walt Whitman, Song of Myself, 1855</strong></em></p></blockquote><p><em><strong><br></strong>&#8220;They were rooms of that country order which fascinate our sense of smell with the countless odours springing from their own special virtues, wisdom, habits, a whole secret system of life, invisible, superabundant and profoundly moral, which their atmosphere holds in solution; smells natural enough indeed, and coloured by circumstances as are those of the neighbouring countryside, but already humanised, domesticated, confined, an exquisite, skilful, limpid jelly, blending all the fruits of the season which have left the orchard for the store-room, smells changing with the year, but plenishing, domestic smells, which compensate for the sharpness of hoar frost with the sweet savour of warm bread, smells lazy and punctual as a village clock, roving smells, pious smells; rejoicing in a peace which brings only an increase of anxiety, and in a prosiness which serves as a deep source of poetry to the stranger who passes through their midst without having lived amongst them.&#8239;The air of those rooms was saturated with the fine bouquet of a silence so nourishing, so succulent that I could not enter them without a sort of greedy enjoyment.&#8221;&#8239; <strong>Marcel Proust, Swann&#8217;s Way, 1913</strong></em></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
