An old-school apothecary in Paris - Coming to Paris for this shop alone is worth the trip

Founded in 1803, Officine Universelle Buly ( in the Left bank 6e) is filled with extravagant yet affordable beauty products. Everything you buy-their signature pommade hand cream, handmade soaps, dried peony for the bathtub - look and smells incredible. 
They even make toothpaste in interesting scents like mint, coriander and cucumber.

Each item is exquisitely packaged and can be gift wrapped and personalized with decorative hand-written calligraphy free of charge.
Just walking in the door is a treat in itself.
