You have to wait 300 years for these trees to grow, and then wait 100 years for the wood to be dried before you can make them. Then the combs sit in softening camellia oil for three years before they are finished. We are the only store that carries them.” Buly 1803 Minebari comb, $299 buly1803.com

They’re emulsions, like a vinaigrette. There are 11 scents in the collectsion, including one called Lichen that I love. It smells like wet soil and grass, like when you played outside as a child. Once you go to water-based perfume, you never go back to alcohol!” Buly 1803 Eau Trippele Scottish Lichen, $128 buly1803.com

The water has a very special pH, so we asked if we could use it in a mouthwash. It’s exceptional.” Buly 1803 Eau de la Belle Haleine, $31 buly1803.com
