Eight & Bob
Eight & Bob perfumes born from the union of a friendship
Albert Fouquet, son of a Parisian aristocrat, was part of the elite of French society in the early twentieth century and a connoisseur of perfumes. In a room on the top floor of the family castle, Fouquet created and perfected various essences for his personal use, helped by Philippe, the family butler. At social events he surprised everyone with an exquisite fragrance that became increasingly popular within the exclusive social circle he attended. However, Fouquet continually rejected the proposals to market his fragrance. One night during his summer vacation in 1937 on the French Riviera, Albert met and got along very well with a young American student who was visiting France in a cabriolet: John FK A few steps away was the vain JFK who was fascinated by the essence that Albert was wearing. The charm and congeniality of John convinced Albert to leave him a taste of his colony with a note in the hotel the following morning: in this bottle you will find the touch of French glamor that your American personality does not need.
