Officine Universelle Buly offers the beau monde an enchanting world of artisanal and bespoke beauty
“I think beauty is something universal. We are all looking to feel good in our skin and to have nice, quiet moments to ourselves, even if it’s only five minutes,” Officine Universelle Buly co-founder, Victoire de Taillac, tells our very own Stephanie Zubiri in an intimate virtual gathering organised by Tatler Philippines to commemorate Buly’s newly opened branch in Manila and talk all things Buly with various Tatler friends and likewise lovers of the French perfumery and beauty brand.
Tatler Managing Director, Irene Martel Francisco, warmly welcomed everyone to the event, revealing her affinity for a brand she's personally sought while in Paris. Jappy Gonzalez, founder and managing director of the retail empire that has brought curated boutiques like Univers to the fore and thus luxury brands like Buly to the Philippines, also shared a few words of welcome before introducing the special guest gracing the evening from all the way in France: Buly's co-founder Victoire de Taillac herself, who gave a glimpse of the brand's history and also shared her own skincare secrets.
Guests of the evening were treated to pristine experience boxes with Buly's artisanal products, Moët & Chandon champagne, and a sumptuous menu specifically prepared by Margarita Forés's Lusso—a mere taste of the lush experience that lies in store at the Officine Universelle Buly in Manila.
