Original Eau De Parfum 30ml.

Inspiration

Albert Fouquet was part of elite French society in the early twentieth century and a perfume connoisseur, creating and perfecting various essences for his own use, aided by Philippe, the family butler. One night during his summer vacation in 1937, Albert met and got on very well with John, a young American student who was touring France in a convertible. John was captivated by the scent Albert was wearing and persuaded him to part with a sample. On returning to Paris, Albert received a letter from John informing him of the popularity of his fragrance in the US and asking for eight more samples,...and, if your production allows, another one for Bob.

John F. Kennedy had set the ball rolling for EIGHT & BOB, however, the formulas were nearly lost in WWII, saved only by Philippe's idea of hiding bottles inside books and shipping them to his family to prevent the Nazis from seizing them. Decades later, thanks to Philippe's family, the formulas and their production processes had been recovered and Eight & Bob has once again become one of the most exclusive names in the fragrance world. It actually has a limited (and variable) production each year due to a scarcity of "Andrea", the plant whose extracts are the soul of Albert's original cologne.
