Eight & Bob Original Eau de Parfum is a fragrance with a story as captivating as its scent. Created in the early twentieth century by Albert Fouquet—member of elite French society—this remarkable perfume became legendary after a chance meeting in 1937 between Fouquet and a young John F. Kennedy on the French Riviera. Captivated by the elegant aroma Fouquet wore, Kennedy requested a sample, sparking a transatlantic exchange that inspired the name Eight & Bob.
Fouquet crafted each bottle with meticulous care, packaging them in boxes designed to mimic the fabric of Kennedy’s shirt from their first encounter. To discreetly deliver the fragrances to America, the bottles were hidden inside hollowed-out books—a detail honoured today in the brand’s signature book-style packaging.
This timeless unisex scent opens with bright notes of cardamom, lemon, and pink pepper, moving into a complex heart of dried woods, labdanum, and violet leaves. Warm amber, sandalwood, and vetiver form a sophisticated base, echoing the refined atmosphere of twentieth-century Paris. Elegant, distinctive, and steeped in history, this Eau de Parfum remains truly unforgettable.
