A fragrance inspired by summer days in the French Riviera. This splendidly fresh scent, Cap D'Antibes, transforms throughout its wear. Notes of mint and birch create an intense blast of sea greens, which is softened by the tranquil, therapeutic aroma of violet leaves. A steady wave of cinnamon and vanilla rolls in, to produce a sweet, earthy ambiance. Cedar and incense nourish the woody accent that burns at the heart of this dynamic scent.
For Albert Fouquet, Antibes was heaven. In this charming village on the French Riviera, Albert enjoyed long holidays during the 1930s in the company of the elite of European aristocracy – holidays that extended from spring until the last days of summer. At that time, only a few were privileged enough to enjoy the elegant and ‘discreet luxury’ of spending the summer months on the French Riviera. Unforgettable mornings were spent sailing in the Grande Bleue, golden sunsets were enjoyed from the gardens of the Eden Roc hotel, and balmy evenings were enlivened with exclusive celebrations and charming parties.
Albert dreamt about these summers during the cold Parisian winters. Like any artist who strives for perfection, he spent many weeks delicately crafting a fragrance that captured the essence of his memories of those summer days. The result was Cap d'Antibes: a fragrances that was made for the exclusive enjoyment of this creator and became a favourite in his private collection. Made in Spain.

About Eight & Bob
In the early 20th century, Albert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat and passionate perfume connoisseur, began crafting distinctive fragrances for his personal use. One fateful summer on the French Riviera in the 1930s, Fouquet met a young American student named John F. Kennedy. Enchanted by Fouquet’s scent, JFK requested a sample to take back to the U.S. The fragrance quickly captivated JFK's friends and Hollywood elites, sparking demand. Fouquet responded by sending additional bottles labelled with a handwritten note: “Eight & Bob” — referring to eight samples for JFK and “one for Bob.”
Today, Eight & Bob lives on, blending history, elegance, and craftsmanship into a collection of timeless fragrances and grooming products. Each item carries the legacy of its aristocratic roots and the glamour of a bygone era, capturing the essence of classic sophistication.
