Escape to a log cabin in the woods of the snow-capped mountains of France with NUIT DE MEGEVE.

Complex earthy, woodsy notes of Vetiver mingle with the subtle sweetness of Tobacco to set a cosy tone. Notes of Petitgrain fill the air with the scent of dried leaves & twigs waiting their turn to fuel the fire crackling in the fireplace. A soothing aroma emanates from the hot cup between your hands, as bitter notes of freshly brewed Black Coffee blend with the sweet vanilla notes of Tonka Beans. Retreat from the cold, crisp, mountain air with this tender comforting scent.

 Eight & Bob Fragrances

Eight & Bob began in January 1934 when Albert Fouquet travelled to Chile at the invitation of the Italian ambassador. Besides enjoying the charms of the country, he took advantage of this trip to search the Andes for aromatic plants that would enhance his fragrances. He returned to Paris with several sprigs of “Andrea”, the name Albert had given the plant whose extracts are the soul of his fragrance “EIGHT & BOB”.

Andrea is a wild plant in short supply due to the altitude and limited area in which it grows; and can only be picked during the months of December and January. The plants gathered under go a very exacting selection process in which only seven percent are chosen. This process ends between March and April and only then is it known how many units of “EIGHT & BOB” can be bottled; and how many can be allotted to each country.

Since the second world war, the formula for “EIGHT & BOB” has been completely recovered, along with its carefully crafted production process. Once again, it has become one of the most exclusive fragrances, preferred by the world’s most elegant men and women. .


Albert Fouquet

Albert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat, was part of elite French society in the early twentieth century and a perfume connoisseur. In a room on the upper floor of the family chateau, Fouquet created and perfected various essences for his own personal use – aided by Philippe, the family butler. At social events he would surprise everyone with an exquisite fragrance that became increasingly in demand within the exclusive social circle he frequented. However, Fouquet continually rejected proposals to market his fragrance.
