Eight & Bob is not just a fragrance - it’s a story bottled up with wit, charm, and a dash of history. In 1937, Parisian aristocrat and perfume aficionado Albert Fouquet met a young, charming American student on the French Riviera: none other than John F. Kennedy. JFK was instantly hooked on Albert’s signature scent and asked for “eight samples—and one for Bob” (his brother, Robert F Kennedy).
Albert obliged, packaging the perfume samples in boxes with stripes inspired by JFK’s shirt, cheekily labeling them “Eight & Bob.” Soon, Hollywood legends like Cary Grant and James Stewart were clamoring for it, and the fragrance became an underground sensation among the world’s most stylish circles. Today, that same secret formula has been lovingly revived and expanded into a modern collection of uncompromising fragrances bottled with the same elegance and allure as the original.
