EIGHT & BOB

Le Pari d'Honfleur EIGHT & BOB for women and men

Le Pari d'Honfleur by Eight & Bob is an amber-woody fragrance designed for both men and women. The composition opens with Guatemalan cardamom, fig, and violet, followed by a heart of tonka bean, papyrus, and coconut. The base consists of sandalwood, cedarwood, and musk. The fragrance is inspired by the beauty of the French coast and the story of friendship between Albert Fouquet and a member of French high society, reflecting timeless memories and elegant gatherings. "The sun reflected on the water surrounding the Deauville-La Touques racetrack, as Albert Fouquet stood among the elegant spectators gathered in the stands, captivated by the excitement and elegance of the world of horse racing. Deauville, with its splendor and sophistication, was the perfect setting for race lovers and high society. Every summer, Christian, an aristocrat with great skill in betting, invited Fouquet to share in the thrilling atmosphere of the racetrack. They both enjoyed the excitement of the event while discussing strategies and calculating the odds of the different runners. They had been repeating these relaxing days at Christian's mansion in Honfleur, just a few kilometers from Deauville, for years. Albert’s passion for creating exclusive perfumes was sparked by the incomparable scent emanating from Christian’s lush garden. Among the soft notes of Honfleur roses, the freshness of the sea, and the scent of coastal vegetation, Fouquet created a unique fragrance that evoked the beauty and elegance of coastal life. From then on, every summer, he would visit Deauville carrying this perfume. Christian was fascinated by the captivating scent of Albert's creation. He found himself facing a difficult task, as he was well aware of Fouquet's discretion. A discretion that prevented him from sharing the perfumes he created exclusively for personal use."
