Eight & Bob Egypt Eau de Parfum

In 1935, Albert Fouquet decided to fulfil a promise made to Ahmed, a childhood friend, and, at the same time, realise one of his greatest dreams.

Fascinated by the culture of ancient Egypt, his visit allowed him to spend days exploring the Great Pyramid of Giza, as well as the temples of Luxor and Hatshepsut. This trip also represented a unique opportunity: to delve into the birthplace of perfume. He wanted to research the essences used for thousands of years and discover the mysteries of those extraordinarily aromatic bottles offered to the gods to protect the pharaohs, or the scents that delighted the legendary Cleopatra.

From the moment he crossed the threshold of Ahmed's house, his journey became even more fascinating. The villa's impressive garden housed dozens of flowers unknown to Albert, filling the air with aromas that awakened new emotions in him. Overwhelmed by so many sensations and unable to extend his stay any longer, Albert planned a second trip four months later with a clear goal: to find a unique perfume. After several weeks of intense work at Ahmed's villa, Albert Fouquet returned to his château in Paris and perfected the final details of a new formula. Thus was born Egypt, a fragrance that became part of his exclusive private collection.
