Buly Huile de Savon

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been obsessed with the Buly Huile De Savon. A body cleasner that has the power of a soap, but the hydrating delicacy of a body oil. It foams, but only a little and leaves your skin immaculately cleansed with no loss of hydration.

Scottish Lichen

The scent of Buly Huile de Savon I’ve been using is the extraordinary delicate and apothecary-esque scent of Scottish Lichen described by Buly as:

The scent of the upright stones of Hyperborea, dotted with the lichens’ reddish-brown froth. The tartness of the cold grass fur on the hills’ shoulders, the mosses frosted with dew – the pollens sticking to the belly of dawn are left out to dry in the salty wind from the Hebrides.
