Albert Fouquet is the name attached to the founding legend of the Spanish-owned fragrance brand Eight & Bob, rather than a perfumer with a documented public biography. According to the brand's own heritage narrative, Fouquet was the son of a Parisian aristocrat and an amateur perfume connoisseur who blended essences for personal use at the family chateau with the help of a butler named Philippe.

The brand's story claims that in the summer of 1937, on the French Riviera, Fouquet met a young John F. Kennedy and gave him a sample, and that Kennedy later wrote asking for eight bottles 'and one for Bob' — supplying the brand its name. The same account describes a 1934 trip to Chile in search of an Andean plant it calls 'Andrea,' and Fouquet's death in a 1939 car crash near Biarritz, after which Philippe supposedly hid the remaining bottles inside hollowed-out books during the war.

These claims come essentially only from Eight & Bob's marketing and the press coverage that repeats it; no independent historical record corroborates Albert Fouquet as a real, documented perfumer, and observers have noted the JFK connection is one of several competing 'scent of a president' marketing stories. The details of his life should therefore be treated as brand lore, not verified fact — which is why the biographical fields below are left null.
