Eight & Bob Arrives at The Artist: A Story of Elegance That Continues
At The Artist, we believe that a memorable stay is shaped by the details. Those that may seem small, yet have the power to transform the experience and leave a lasting impression.
That is why we have introduced Eight & Bob to our guest experience through a new selection of amenities. A brand renowned for its elegance, the quality of its products and, above all, a story as distinctive as the character we seek to bring to every stay at The Artist.
The origins of Eight & Bob take us back to the French Riviera in the 1930s. According to the story that has accompanied the brand since its beginnings, French aristocrat Albert Fouquet had created, together with his butler Philippe, a fragrance for his personal use.
During a holiday on the Côte d’Azur, Fouquet met a young American student who was captivated by his fragrance and asked him for a sample. That young man was John F. Kennedy. Some time later, Fouquet received a letter from Kennedy requesting several more samples: eight for his friends and, as he added in the note, “and one for Bob”.
That request would eventually give Eight & Bob its name. A story of encounters, travel and elegance that continues to inspire the brand decades later.
