EIGHT & BOB

Sérénité en Bourgogne EIGHT & BOB for women and men

Sérénité en Bourgogne by Eight & Bob is a unisex fragrance inspired by the tranquil atmosphere of Burgundy during the grape harvest. The scent opens with vibrant saffron and pink pepper, transitions to a warm heart of Vietnamese oud and myrrh, and settles on a rich base of Madagascar patchouli and Bourbon vanilla. The composition aims to evoke the sophistication and serenity of Burgundy’s vineyards. "For Albert Fouquet, September was the most eagerly anticipated month of the year. From the first week until well into October, he would settle in the château his family owned in Burgundy to personally oversee the harvest of their estate. The Fouquet family had owned some of the finest vineyards for many years. Though not the largest in Burgundy, they undoubtedly produced the most exquisite grapes. Their harvest was highly sought after by the region's top winemakers, who competed each year to secure their production. The family reserved only 10% of the yield to produce their own wine. They spared no resources or effort in this endeavor. Albert, with his refined sense of smell and taste, relied on the invaluable expertise of Simon, who managed the estate masterfully. Following the advice of a landowner from La Rioja, they hired Thomas Bodes, a talented Spanish expert in viticulture, forming a key committee for the season's success. Fouquet's time in Burgundy was divided into two distinct phases. The first extended up to the start of the harvest, a period during which the region displayed its full splendor, captivating the senses of any visitor. For most winemakers, these were days of tense anticipation, but for Fouquet, they were days of fulfillment and contentment."
