HISTORY

PERFUMER
Albert Fouquet

The perfume with history - Eight and Bob was created by Albert Fouquet, the son of a French aristocrat.

His fragrances were for his own delight, his own creative fulfilment and very personal as they told the stories of his favourite people and places. This all changed, however, one night in 1937 when Fouquet met a young John F Kennedy who fell in love with his fragrance and the rest, as they say, is history...
