Description
Nuit de Megeve by Eight & Bob
100ml Eau de Parfum
Olfactive Family – Dry Woods
Perfume Author – Albert Fouquet
Megeve… a charming ski town nestled between France and Switzerland, and a historic playground for the young, beautiful and affluent. Here in the thirties, during the birth of skiing as a pastime for the social elite, Albert Fouquet met the beautiful young Austrian girl Annicke. Hours of conversation beside the fireplace, laughter and dancing, led to a firm promise to meet again. Fouquet wanted to hold on to his memories of that evening without forgetting any part of the magic of Megève: the smell of the mountain air and the wood burning in the fireplace, the ambience created by that exclusive party.
Eight & Bob’s Nuit de Megeve opens with alpine freshness, crisp notes of grapefruit and gently tart petitgrain that flow smoothly into the warm spice of an apres-ski chalet… think notes of clove, coffee and vetiver. As it dries, a radiantly musky tobacco note exudes suave confidence, evoking fireside revelry that lasts deep into the night. Smooth, sophisticated and self-assured, Nuit de Megeve is a scent for gentleman who appreciates the finer things in life.

Eight & Bob began when American student John F. Kennedy met Parisian aristocrat Albert Fouquet on the Cotes d’Azur in the 1930’s, not only was he charmed by the man, he was also intrigued by his hand-crafted scent. Fouquet left a fragrance sample at JFK’s hotel with a note that said, “In this jar, you will find the dash of French glamour that your American personality lacks.” Upon his return to the US, JFK made a request for eight bottles of scent – ‘and if your production allows, one for Bob’
