Old-world French polish, effortlessly worn. The Original is the iconic fragrance that launched the legend of Eight & Bob: a timeless scent of effortless sophistication and refined masculinity, blending citrus freshness, spice and smooth woods into a classic signature. Polished, versatile and undeniably upscale, it is luxury in its most understated form.

The Story

The Original is inspired by the private composition of Albert Fouquet, a perfume enthusiast of elite French society in the early twentieth century who blended scents for his own use. In 1937, on the Riviera, an American student, the young John F. Kennedy, admired his scent and asked for a sample; he later wrote back for eight more, plus one for "Bob", and the bottles became known as Eight & Bob.

Crisp citrus freshness and aromatic herbs, with cardamom and pink pepper, give an immediately polished feeling.

Heart
Soft spice, violet leaves, labdanum and dried wood emerge, warm and refined without becoming heavy.

A chapel at dusk, smoke curling through burnt wood. Bois d'Ascèse by Naomi Goodsir is a bold, meditative composition that captures the raw essence of fire, smoke and sacred ritual. Created by perfumer Julien Rasquinet, it explores the beauty of destruction, where burning wood becomes something deeply spiritual and atmospheric. Dark woods, rich resins and curling incense make a scent that feels both ancient and avant-garde.

The Story

The inspiration is a wooden church in the hills of New South Wales, Australia, with the surrounding countryside on fire. The fragrance is a memory from the childhood of designer Naomi Goodsir and a tribute to her family's Scottish roots. The name translates roughly as the ascetic's wood. Unapologetically intense, it is for those who seek fragrance as an art form rather than an accessory.

How It Smells

Opening
The striking impression of smoldering wood, as if freshly burned logs were still glowing with heat. The smoke is dry, textured and almost tangible, touched by tobacco and whisky.

Heart
Church incense and resinous warmth emerge, with cinnamon and cistus labdanum, adding depth and a solemn, ritualistic feel, like a quiet cathedral filled with lingering smoke.

Dry Down
It softens slightly into ashes, warm amber, oakmoss and faint tobacco nuances, a haunting, meditative trail. This is not sweet, not clean and not conventional: pure smoke, structure and atmosphere.
