About Eight & Bob
Eight & Bob is a brand with an illustrious history. During the 1930s Albert Fouquet, a great lover of fragrance, spent his time creating scents at the family chateau. One night, during a summer vacation on the Cote dâAzur, Albert met a young student who was touring in his beautiful convertible. The student was none other than John Fitzgerald Kennedy and he was captivated by Albertâs fragrance. While Albert had thus far been reluctant to market his scent, he was so charmed by the young American that he left a sample at JFKâs hotel with the immortal words: âIn this bottle, you will find the dash of French glamour that your American personality lacks.â The fragrance was a great success with both JFK and his friends. He requested that Albert send him eight samples and, âif your production allows, another one for Bobâ. Without fully understanding the request, Albert duly sent off the samples in a box labelled âEIGHT+BOBâ. The rest, as they say, is history!
