Eight & Bob

In the early 20th century, Albert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat and passionate perfume connoisseur, began crafting distinctive fragrances for his personal use. One fateful summer on the French Riviera in the 1930s, Fouquet met a young American student named John F. Kennedy. Enchanted by Fouquet’s scent, JFK requested a sample to take back to the U.S. The fragrance quickly captivated JFK's friends and Hollywood elites, sparking demand. Fouquet responded by sending additional bottles labelled with a handwritten note: “Eight & Bob” — referring to eight samples for JFK and “one for Bob.”

Today, Eight & Bob lives on, blending history, elegance, and craftsmanship into a collection of timeless fragrances and grooming products. Each item carries the legacy of its aristocratic roots and the glamour of a bygone era, capturing the essence of classic sophistication.
