Eight & Bob Le Pari d'Honfleur 100ml

Le pari is French for the bet. Eight & Bob names this one for the summers Albert Fouquet spent with his friend Christian, at the races at Deauville-La Touques and afterwards at Christian's house in Honfleur, a quiet village on the coast.

Fig opens it with Guatemalan cardamom and violet. Fig in perfume is leaf and milky sap more than fruit. The cardamom sharpens that green edge. Tonka from Brazil, papyrus and coconut make the heart. The coconut is what surprises people and it never reads as suncream, because sandalwood, Virginia cedar and musk sit underneath it.

The house calls it a tribute to friendship.

Put on before the first race, it is still there at the last, when the bets are counted and the light lies long across the course.
