Eight & Bob

What Eight & Bob does

Eight & Bob is a privately held luxury fragrance house operating as a niche perfumery Maison, selling premium Eau de Parfum and Extrait de Parfum fragrances alongside bath, body, home fragrance, and accessory products. The brand traces to 1937 when Parisian aristocrat Albert Fouquet created the original 'Eight & Bob' formula; after Fouquet's 1939 death and the disruption of World War II, the recipes were preserved by his butler Philippe and rediscovered decades later. The portfolio centers on The Original Perfume (priced $110-$290 across 30ml-150ml sizes), the travel-friendly Fouquet Collection (Egypt, Cap d'Antibes, Belvedere, Champs de Provence, and others), the higher-concentration Les Extraits Collection (Agneta, Guéthary, La Musique de Christie, Le Geste D'Edmond), Les Essentiels bath and body care (100% vegan, 80%+ natural-origin ingredients originally crafted for luxury hotel amenities), home fragrances (candles, diffusers, sprays), and signature accessories (artisanal scarves, heritage sunglasses).
