He returned to his family’s château to personally oversee the grape harvest, a season that began with peaceful mornings overlooking the vineyards and ended with the bustling energy of the harvest. Every day was filled with rituals, from berry tasting to long walks in the serene countryside, all while crafting his next olfactory masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Sérénité en Bourgogne\"  captures the tranquility of these moments. A vibrant opening of Saffron and Pink Pepper blends into the warmth of Myrrh, while a rich base of Madagascar Vanilla adds a sensual gourmand touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fragrance is an invitation to experience the sophistication and serenity of Burgundy’s vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop notes: Saffron Accord, Pink Peper CO2 Extract\u003cbr\u003eHeart notes: Boya Vietnam, Myrrh Oil\u003cbr\u003eBase notes: Patchouli Madagascar Oil, Vanilla Bourbon Madagascar Extract\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEau de Parfum.\u003cbr\u003eVolume 100 ml \/ 3.4 fl. oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEight \u0026amp; Bob - The Legacy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat, was part of the 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne night during the summer vacation in 1937 on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur), Albert met and got on very well with a young American student who was touring France in a convertible: John F. Kennedy. Within minutes of being introduced, J.F.K. was captivated by the essence that Albert wore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn's charm and congeniality persuaded Albert to leave him a sample of his fragrance with a note at the hotel the following morning:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"In this bottle, you will discover a touch of French glamour to enhance your American charm.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn returning from his vacation, Albert received a letter from John in the U.S. thanking him for the kind gesture and informing him of the success his perfume was having among his friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe asked Albert to send him eight samples, \"and if your production allows, another one for Bob\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbert was surprised a few months later when he began receiving letters from America with requests from various Hollywood directors, producers, and actors such as Cary Grant and James Stewart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEveryone wanted the \"EIGHT \u0026amp; BOB\" fragrance they had apparently discovered through John's father, who had maintained relationships with well-known stars because of his previous business ventures in the movie industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, the success of his fragrance would not spread much further. In the spring of 1939, Albert died in an automobile accident near Biarritz (France). Phillipe, the only person who could handle the orders, would only continue with the work for a few months, since the start of World War II forced him to leave his job with the Fouquet family. In the final shipments, Philippe hid the bottles inside books that he carefully cut by hand to prevent the Nazis from seizing the fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecades later, the formula for \"EIGHT \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT IS ANDREA?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn January 1934, Albert Fouquet traveled 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe returned to Paris with several sprigs of \"Andrea\", the name Albert had given the plant whose extracts are the soul of his fragrance \"EIGHT \u0026amp; BOB\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrea is a wild and in short supply due to the altitude and limited area in which it grows; it can only be picked during the months of December and January. The plants gathered undergo 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 \u0026amp; BOB\" can be bottled, and how many can be allotted to each country.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eight\u0026Bob","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44401603248170,"sku":"8437018063161","price":469.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0161\/2974\/files\/serenite_1_7b2425ab-bf07-4c71-8fc7-4e132d103b77.jpg?v=1779855241","url":"https:\/\/www.worldbrand.co.nz\/products\/eight-bob-serenite-en-bourgogne-100ml","provider":"WORLD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
