Kennedy on the Côte d’Azur. Kennedy was immediately taken by the fragrance Albert was wearing, and Albert later left a sample at his hotel with a handwritten note:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“In this bottle, you will find the dash of French glamour that your American personality lacks.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack in the United States, Kennedy wrote to request eight more bottles, and, if possible, one for Bob. The order gave Eight \u0026amp; Bob its name, while Kennedy’s family connections soon introduced the fragrance to figures including Cary Grant and James Stewart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Albert’s death in 1939, his butler Philippe preserved the formula through the Second World War, concealing bottles inside hand-cut books to protect them from seizure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance itself is a refined woody amber. Cardamom, pink pepper and lemon create a bright, gently spiced opening before violet leaf, labdanum and dry woods bring depth through the heart. Amber, sandalwood and vetiver settle into a warm, elegant base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCurator’s Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Original is the clearest introduction to Eight \u0026amp; Bob. It feels classic, polished and easy to wear, but the spice, violet leaf and vetiver give it enough character to avoid feeling conventional. A strong signature fragrance for work, dinners and everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardamom, pink pepper, lemon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood, labdanum, violet leaves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber, sandalwood, vetiver\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eight \u0026 Bob","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57051837137220,"sku":"8436037791055","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/1239\/8148\/files\/8436037791055_E_B_Original_EDP_100ml_3.jpg?v=1785256292","url":"https:\/\/www.websterandcarr.co.uk\/products\/eight-bob-the-original-100ml","provider":"WEBSTER \u0026 CARR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
