A LARGE beauty emporium opened here on Wednesday in the former foundry where Auguste Rodin's The Thinker was cast.

It is the second Parisian outpost for L'Officine Universelle Buly - a three-year-old luxury cosmetics company founded by the kinetic French entrepreneur Ramdane Touhami. The 2,000-sq ft space in the Marais district includes a 19th-century-style boutique selling the brand's aromatic potions, powders, soaps and perfumes.
