EGYPT EAU DE PARFUM

Egypt, a rich ancestral culture

The Egypt fragrance by Eight & Bob is an excellent option for lovers of those charming accords belonging to the Spicy olfactory family that last and transmit incredible sensations with each use. This is a perfume launched in 2014, which will make you travel back in time walking through sunny and ancient Egypt. Albert Fouquet spent weeks working intensely in Egypt to then finalize the details of this perfume in Paris and be able to share part of his lifestyle.

For Fouquet, this visit was the perfect opportunity to travel to the cradle of perfume. In 1935 he decided to take a trip to Egypt to visit a great childhood friend, where in addition to enjoying the culture of the place he also visited the Great Pyramid of Giza, as well as the temples of Luxor and Hatshepsut. On this trip he investigated the essences that had been used for thousands of years and what was contained in those bottles offered to the gods to protect the pharaohs, and the essences used to satisfy the revered Cleopatra. What struck Albert the most when he arrived at his friend's house was the amount of flowers that were unknown to him, which led him to plan a second trip to make a truly unique perfume.

Comforting lavender, effervescent Lemon and open-air Moss are part of the flurry of delicious top notes of this fragrance as is the rich heart full of vibrant Cardamom and Nutmeg that melt into the sensuality of the leather, wildly highlighting the accords of Patchouli and the softness of Sandalwood.

These accords are packaged in a fairly simple but elegant glass bottle that has the brand label on the front of the bottle and a smooth silver lid to properly preserve each drop of this charming product, which is presented in a rather elegant white box with salmon.

Albert Fouquet, founder of this great perfume house, created and perfected various essences for his personal use, with the help of Philippe, the family butler. Although he captivated many with the fragrances, he rejected the idea of marketing it, but that was when John F. Kennedy made him a singular request; about eight samples and another for Bob, when he packs enough samples taking care of the bottles and the box that had the same print as the shirt J.F.K was wearing when they met as well as a label with the name ""EIGHT & BOB"". Months later, requests poured in from various people involved in the film industry. His success did not last long, since in 1939 he died and the business was left to Philippe, with whom he could only continue for a few months due to the Second World War.
