Perfume water fields of Provence 100 ml

In 1934 the French aristocrat Albert Fouquet took advantage of a trip to Chile to search in the Andes for aromatic plants that would enhance his perfumes. <br data-mce-fragment="1">He returned to Paris with several twigs of “Andrea,” the name Albert had given to the plant whose extracts are the soul of his fragrance. <br data-mce-fragment="1">“Andrea” is a wild plant that is scarce due to the altitude and the limited area where it grows. <br data-mce-fragment="1"> The collected plants undergo a very rigorous selection process in which only 7% is chosen. <br data-mce-fragment="1">This process ends between March and April and only then is it known how many units of “EIGHT & BOB” can be bottled. <br data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1">Crucial for the development of the brand is the meeting in the summer of 1937 between Albert and the young American J.F. Kennedy on the French Riviera. <br data-mce-fragment="1">The one who would become the future president of the United States was so fascinated by the essence Albert was wearing that he persuaded him to leave him a sample of his fragrance. <br data-mce-fragment="1">Upon returning from vacation, the young Frenchman received a letter from John thanking him for the kind gesture and informing him of the success his perfume was having among his friends. He asked Albert to send him eight samples, “and if your production allows it, one more for Bob.” <br data-mce-fragment="1">Without fully understanding the request, Albert decided to send a box with enough samples to cover the transport costs, ordered several boxes decorated with the same pattern as the shirt JFK was wearing when they met, and then labeled the boxes with John's amusing request: “EIGHT & BOB”.
