BULY 1803 WATER BASED PERFUMES - SUMI HINOKI

WATER BASED PERFUMES

－

The alcohol and ethanol used in the most perfumes are aggressive solvents that alter and usually adulterate their scents. After applying an alcohol-based perfume, one must wait for the alcohol to evaporate and for the fragrant notes to gradually reveal themselves. To re-discover the scents true nature and breathe in its integrity from the first few seconds following its liberation, Officine Universelle Buly has invented the first water-based perfume for the skin. Miscible in a unique aqueous solution which doesn’t either stain, parch or unbalance the skin, the perfume can express itself fully, in all its plenitude and authenticity. The white coloration of the perfumes by Officine Universelle Buly is the token of a water-based emulsion, soft and pure.

Officine Universelle Buly has created twelve fine water-based fragrant combinations: Al Kassir, Berkane Orange Blossoms, Damask Rose, English Honey, Kiso Yuzu, Komi Forest, Makassar, Medina Oud, Mexican Tuberose, Peruvian Heliotrope, Scottish Lichen, Sumi Hinoki. All persist throughout the day without ever aggravating the skin or the senses. One level of fragrant intensity is made available by Officine Universelle Buly: Eau Triple, whose sustained presence is comparable to an essence.

SUMI HINOKI

－

A deep note of smoked cypress, fresh and woody.

Frankincense and the dark fire of sacred Hinoki wood under the summer rains of Shôno. The noble fragrance of flame-charred temples, lacquered black with smoke, of cypress chests in which silks, swords and calligraphy scrolls slumber. In the green steam of cedar and cam-phor-wood baths, near Tokaido’s Torii, images of the floating world anchor the rumble of the torrent and the flight of the autumn.
