Eight & Bob opens with fresh, citrus notes and a dash of French glamour, before unfolding into a warm base of spicy vanilla and amber accord. The soul of Eight & Bob is a rare and wild plant from the Andes; "Andrea" is in short supply due to the altitude and limited area in which it grows, and it can only be picked during the months of December and January. The plants gathered then undergo a very exacting selection process in which just seven percent are chosen, and only then it is known how many units can be bottled each year; making for a truly exclusive fragrance. The bottle is hidden in a book, just as it was long ago.
