Eight & Bob

Eight & Bob was born in the early 20th century by the hand of Albert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat and a perfume connoisseur.
In a room on the upper floor of the family chateau, Fouquet created and perfected various essences for his own personal use, aided by Philippe, the family butler.
As the story is told: One night during his summer vacation in 1937 on the French Riviera, Albert met a young American student who was touring France in a convertible: John F. Kennedy. Within minutes of being introduced, John was captivated by the essence that Albert wore. Due to John’s charm and congeniality Albert was persuaded to leave him a sample of his cologne at the hotel.
On returning from his vacation, Albert received a letter from John in the U.S. thanking him for the kind gesture and informing him of the success his perfume amongst his friends. He requested that Albert send him eight samples, “and if your production allows, another one for Bob”.
He ordered several boxes decorated with the same pattern on the shirt that John F. Kennedy was wearing when they met, and then labeled the bottles and boxes with John's amusing request:
“EIGHT & BOB”.
Decades later, the formula for “EIGHT & BOB” has been completely recovered, along with its carefully crafted production process. Once again, it has become one of the most exclusive colognes, preferred by the world’s most elegant men and women.
