Not too far from where I lived in Paris is a beautiful shop called Officine Universelle Buly 1803. Upon entering by chance one day, I was immediately charmed by the soothing fragrance, vintage decorations, and gorgeous packaging of this French skincare brand. This time in Taiwan, I was delighted to find that the first Buly shop outside of Paris opened in Taipei. Needless to say, I went for a visit and came out with a few items…

我在巴黎6區租的公寓附近有家很美的店，叫做 Officine Universelle Buly 1803。推門而入時溫柔環繞上來的除了優雅香氛，還有店裏濃厚的古老靈魂：19世紀藥局的樣貌、古老木質櫥櫃、沈靜大理石，各種精凋細琢的細節令人著迷 － 好吧，先承認一下我在了解什麽 Buly 歷史、天然成份之前早已臣服于這家店複古美麗的裝潢和包裝，而這些品牌故事精神雲雲都是之後才查的。這次在台北驚喜的發現 Buly 全世界首家分店開在這裏，忍不住進去逛了一圈（當然也忍不住買了一些東西）。

The details start at the door, with the elegant logo being hand-painted on stroke by stroke, instead of using stickers typically seen on most shop windows.

除了産品本身的堅持之外，Buly 在裝潢上的細節也非常細膩 － 比如落地窗上古典優雅的金色 logo 不是常見的卡典西德轉貼，而是專業師傅一筆一畫手工繪制完成。

Stepping inside the shop is like entering another time period. To reconstruct the ambience from the Paris, materials and artisans were flown in from France to make sure that everything’s done properly à la française, though there are also a few intentional differences between the two boutiques – for example, the colors of the floor tiles have been changed to reflect the climate in Taiwan, and the Taipei boutique also boasts a beautiful painted ceiling, something that cannot be done in Paris due to the building structure itself.

踏入店裏，空氣中有沈靜的古典樂、天然蠟燭的芬芳、搭配著複古精致的裝潢，讓人有種時空錯置的感覺。爲了重現巴黎本店的氛圍，台北店所有板材都從法國空運，也專程請了原班法國工匠來施工，從組裝、上色、保養到打蠟都細心完成。不過我也發現台北店的一些不同，比如地磚的顔色，以及天花板上有著巴黎本店沒有的拱形彩繪（據說巴黎店礙於是老建築，所以天花板僅能維持原本的結構）。
