Why the name EIGHT & BOB?

In the year 1937: The perfumer Albert Fouquet spends the summer on the French Riviera, like every year. At a party he meets a young American student on his trip through Europe and becomes friends with him. His name: John F. Kennedy.
John is immediately impressed by the creation that Albert wears that evening. As a sign of his affection, the next morning Albert Fouquet sends him a bottle of this perfume. On the enclosed card he writes: "In this bottle you will find that pinch of French glamour that your American character is still missing".

Just a few weeks later, Fouquet received a thank-you letter from the United States, where the perfume had caused a great sensation among John´s friends. He received a heartfelt request to send him 8 fragrances and another one for his brother Bob (Eight & Bob).

The name EIGHT & BOB was born.
