Eight & Bob - New Zealand
Having secured its place as a revered niche label, Eight & Bob presents a collection of finely crafted scents with immediate allure. Its signature fragrance serves as a compelling gateway to artisanal perfumery, blending expert composition with captivating narrative depth.
The brand's story intertwines with the effortless charm of JFK—a tale of serendipitous meetings with a French perfumer and the sophisticated world of stylish men. Beyond its flagship scent, the broader lineup deserves equal recognition: Eight & Bob Egypt delivers a rich tapestry of warming spices layered over classic ‘barbershop’ accords, while Nuit de Megeve features a velvety vetiver enrobed in nutty praline sweetness.
A highly appealing, accessible niche house, each fragrance captures a facet of perfumer Albert Fouquet’s life and travels. According to lore, during World War II, final shipments of Eight & Bob were smuggled inside hollowed-out books to evade Nazi confiscation.
The original Eight & Bob is a fresh, woody creation with an inviting blend of spices and a breezy, salty marine undertone. It’s a refined, enduring scent that resonates universally.
For those curious about spiced fragrances, Egypt introduces exotic warmth through nutmeg, lavender, and cardamom, skilfully balanced with French olfactory elegance. Alternatively, Champs de Provence celebrates zesty green citrus underscored by amber, offering a refreshing and sophisticated experience.
