Eight and Bob are known for their social conscience, including the defense of human rights in order to achieve a fairer society. In conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the original perfume, Eight & Bob has chosen to collaborate with the Robert F. Kennedy Foundation, a prestigious internationally recognized organization managed by Kerry Kennedy. Eight & Bob collaborate with this famous Human Rights Foundation by donating some of the revenue from this special edition as a tribute to R.F.K's dream of a fairer and more peaceful world.
Eight and Bob has a long and exciting story. It was created by the french aristocrat, Albert Fouquet and was introduced to american celebrities, amongst them well -known movie stars and directors, by John F Kennedy in the late 1930’s.
The fragrance is really something else. The fragrance notes comes from amongst others lemon, ginger, bergamot, exotic woods and vanilla, but the main ingredient is an aromatic herb that Fouquet discovered under a trip to the Andes in Chile and that he named Andrea. Andrea is a wild plant that only grows in a limited area. It can only be harvested from December to January, then follows a very exacte selecting process where only about 7 percent oft he harvest will be chosen. This process ends in March/April and only then there is known how many Eight and Bob that will be botteled.
In other words; A very exclusive scent indeed!

Fresh scent!
A bit soapy and a classic men's fragrance, somewhat like Le Male but without the iris.
Very satisfied with the scent and it is a bit different but just as complex as all other niche perfumes. Very elegant and I can smell it for over 10 hours. It can be strong, so I recommend just two sprays when first using it to get used to the new scent. JFK was very elegant, and I can understand why he would like this scent. If you dress smartly for formal occasions, it is perfect. Not suitable for the jeans and t-shirt type.
Very good
Highly sophisticated. An elegance that isn't easily bought, appearing modest without cheap bragging. Not an overpowering scent, which is a clear advantage. A fragrance for the connoisseur. Suits me perfectly. Lasts long.
