L’Officine Universelle Buly 1803 has been creating brilliant scents since Jean-Vincent Bully set up shop on the rue Saint-Honoré in – yup – 1803. Such an integral part of Paris life was this perfumer that he appeared in a Balzac novel. The company is still in Paris and still creating smells – like the sea-breezy
Pater Mateos candle, with bergamot, lemon and rosewood. It’s made entirely from plant-based ingredients and sitting on a carved marble holder.
