The Original by Eight & Bob 5.1 oz./150 ml Eau De Parfum Spray. New in Sealed Box.

EIGHT & BOB is an aromatic fragrance for men, launched in 2012 by the brand of the same name. The fragrance was created by Albert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat and a perfume connoisseur. Fouquet created and perfected the scent for his own personal use, aided by Philippe, the family butler. The fragrance was first discovered by American student John F. Kennedy during his summer vacation on the French Riviera in 1937, and its popularity quickly spread among Hollywood directors, producers, and actors such as Cary Grant and James Stewart.

The scent features a complex blend of top notes of Cardamom, Ginger, Lemon, and Bergamot, which create a lively and energizing opening. The middle notes of Cedar, Guaiac Wood, Hazelnut, and Labdanum add a touch of warmth and depth to the fragrance, while the base notes of Ambergris, Vanilla, Sandalwood, and Patchouli provide a comforting and grounding foundation.

The main note of EIGHT & BOB is a closely-held secret, based on a rare aromatic plant from Chile called "Andrea." The plant is found in short supply due to its altitude and limited growth area and can only be picked during the months of December and January. The plant undergoes a rigorous selection process, of which only 7% are chosen, and it is only then that the number of units of EIGHT & BOB that can be bottled is determined.

The story of EIGHT & BOB is steeped in nostalgia and history, and the brand takes great care to ensure that the production of the fragrance remains true to the original, with the use of the same rare and precious ingredients, and the same refined production process. The bottle design is also reminiscent of the original, featuring a transparent glass bottle with a silver logo, treasured in a silver and grey box.
