The workshop concludes with a tasting of the brand's recipes, and students leave with a jar personalized with their name.
A jewel balm - 40€
While the winter season takes its toll on us, it also takes its toll on our lips, weakened by the cold. Sometimes bluish, sometimes chapped, Officine Universelle Buly has the remedy for all these ills: Baume des Muses.
