Eight & Bob

Eight & Bob perfume

At the beginning of the 20th century, Albert Fouquet, son of a Parisian aristocrat and perfume connoisseur, produced various essences for his own use. After the young JFK championed the fragrances and celebrities of the golden age of Hollywood asked for samples, Eight & Bob was born in 1937.

Decades later, the French brand was revived and today its carefully curated flavors are incorporated into exquisite perfumes, balms and deodorants. Eight & Bob fragrances are created through a careful manufacturing process using the most exclusive raw materials. A limited production of unique fragrances for elegant men and women for everyday use.

Albert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat, belonged to French elite society at the beginning of the 20th century and was a perfume connoisseur. In a room on the upper floor of the family castle, Fouquet created and perfected various essences for his personal use - assisted by Philippe, the family butler. At social events he surprised everyone with an exquisite scent that became increasingly sought after in the exclusive social circle in which he frequented. However, Fouquet repeatedly rejected proposals to market his fragrance.

In January 1934, Albert Fouquet traveled to Chile at the invitation of the Italian ambassador. In addition to enjoying the charm of the country, he also used this trip to search for aromatic plants in the Andes that would enhance his scents. He returned to Paris with several branches of “Andrea,” as Albert called him. The plant whose extracts are the soul of his fragrance "EIGHT & BOB". Andrea is a wild plant that is in short supply due to the altitude and limited area in which it grows. and can only be picked in the months of December and January.

The plants collected go through a very demanding selection process in which only seven percent are selected. This process ends between March and April and only then will it be known how many units of "EIGHT & BOB" can be produced.
