EIGHT & BOB

EIGHT & BOB

The Original

This scent is not overpowering at all but I can still get whiffs of it throughout the day. It's not overly masculine, in fact, you might call this a...I forget the word...a scent for both a man and a woman. It smells kind of elegant and sexy, seductive and confident. I can't wait to wear this out on the town.

Wife loved it so much even she started wearing it.

Usually a cologne will smell crisp, light, and refreshing... or woody and a bit spicy. This was neither of those. It smelled like your grandma's old poupri bowl that you sprayed with a walmart brand cologne. Considering how absolutely amazing their eight and bob black was... this was a disappointment.

Very masculine smell. Lasts fairly long. Get many compliments at the office.

Honestly?? It smells better on my wife. Not masculine enough for me.

So many compliment a with this. Kind of a vanilla scent which I love in cologne.

Love the fragrance.

I absolutely love this scent! Great as an every day wear. I get compliments all the time on how great this smells!

Goes on strong and lasts a long time. It mellows out after a bit and has a semi-sensual smell while still being fairly bright and casual. Smells far too strong for a little bit after putting on, so don't use it right before you go somewhere.

Was super excited to get this one! Great smell and people noticed! After wearing it a few times I started to notice it was a bit perfumey, but still wear it here and there.

I HAVE EMAILED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND NO RESPONSE! THEY CHARGED ME $25 FOR AN UPGRADE AND IT DID NOT REFLECT ON MY STATUS. I BELIEVE THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM! STAY AWAY......

I really liked the scent of this. It has a strange smoke smell at first. But then it settles down to an awesome fragrance.

Not too heavy, one spray works just fine, initial smell is more musky but after settling into my skin it gets less musky and more sweet. Smells even better when im in the shower and it gets rewet. Definitely a keeper

Amazing scent, very subtle lasts a while. Great for office setting or date night. Have to be up close to notice it.

Nice smell I?d use it in fall or winter. Reminds me of a cozy campfire

Didn?t care for it.

This cologne is pretty much the go-to for any occasion. It smells amazing and lasts all day, especially in an office setting. Perfect for date night also, the "light" aroma is not too overwhelming but just enough to make you feel confident. JFK knew what he was talking about.

My absolute favorite fragrancr!

It has a light smell which i would normally like but this particular fragrance does not seem to match my pallet.

This has to be one of the most amazing fragrances for men on the market. I can't believe I hadn't heard about it until just recently. Simply Awesome!

Really like this one and so does my wife

Sweet smell stays on for days my girl loves it

Smells nice, slightly complex.

Enjoyed this very much

perfect in every way

I loved Eight and BoB. Its light and airy and ny wife loved the smell. She has even worn it a time or two. The scent changes when she wears it. Its masculine on me and feminine smelling on her.

Very good

Light and clean scent. It?s delicate and almost smells soapy in a good way.

This scent is super classy, great for the office, subtle enough to wear everyday, and also pronounced enough to be noticed. I love it.

Very mature scent, it stays on for a while. Smells like real quality.

This is a lovely unisex scent, great for a woman for a hot summer day.

Smells awesome!

Nothing but great compliments about the fragrance. Not too sweet perfect for Date night

Compliments

People compliment me on this cologne. It?s light and not too overbearing and stays a while. I loved this cologne so much that I bought the 3.4 oz bottle.

Nice scent

I chose this from a top 5 must-haves review from thatsNathan on YouTube and he wasn't wrong. I really like this one. The scent is very fresh, clean, and long-lasting.

I was impressed with this scent!! After the winter time I was looking for a good scent to go along with the increase in temperature. Eight & Bob was perfect to go along with hotter weather and in the office or on a night out it never failed

on first spray it smelled rather soapy to me, but over the work day that smells fades into the background and you get a little more of the vanilla and wood coming through (which are scents I prefer over a clean laundry smell). overall, I really like it. In a cool office I was able to smell it through an 8 hour work day, when applied on wrist and chest. I think this would be a good cologne for any occasion (office, date night etc), probably wouldn't waste it at the gym though. since it is in my opinion a light refreshing and not overpowering scent.

When I received my order today I immediately tried the scent and shared it with all my guy friends. They loved the scent and said it was something they would definitely buy and use. "Masculine" and "earthy" were the two words used to describe this new favorite cologne.

If the nostalgia isn't enough, the scent is one of the best I've ever known. I wear this regularly and get complimented frequently. I get about 4 hours of projection working outdoors...not bad

It's a great scent for every season. Its refreshing and bold. It's strong at first and then settles nicely and lasts all day.

The best cologne ive ever worn

This cologne was great overall! Only thing is that when you first spray, it takes sometime to really settle down because it's a little too overpowering, but once it's settled down it smelled amazing. It last all day. Definitely going into my rotation!

This is an amazing smelling cologne. I just received my sample today and already 5 compliments from women and men. This is great!!

Smells amazing! Just wish it lasted longer.

I like this one. On the sweet side but not too sweet. Makes me think of warm summer nights.

When I heard JFK used this I had to give it a try!

Smells great! Highly recommended.

Really liked this scent, could have lasted a little longer but overall very happy with it.

Smells great, lasts a while. I'm reordering for next month.

This fragrance is beautiful. It is subtle, yet sophisticated. It goes as well with a suit and tie as it does with shorts and a polo. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to add a little maturity to their cologne game.

Love this cologne smells unique not like anything else and a little bit goes a long way.

Fairly sweet but works well for my body chemistry.

I LOVE this one and it is the reason I joined scentbird. It has a great story which is definitely what drew me in. And it lived up to all of it. Smells great, not too overpowering, but strong enough at the same time. It's fun, light, clean, and unique smelling. Only drawback is that it doesnt last very long. Luckily it's not too strong, so it isn't a problem to keep reapplying. I can't wait to buy a full size bottle!

I like the smell but for me at least it comes across as more of a feminine smell than masculine. It smells to me very powdery. I'm not a big fan of powdery smells as a cologne.

Smooth, clean and classic. Love this one!

At first, the smell is a bit overpowering but once it settles down, it has light, somewhat fruity scent but also very masculine

It smells strong when first applied, fades in about 4 hours. I can smell the patchouli on my skin after 4 hours. I like the smell of this cologne. I?m glad I tried the sample before buying. I won?t buy the full bottle

This is a really nice smell but I wish it was stronger. It wears very light...almost hard to smell.

Scent for older men but it is safe to wear and will be acceptable to many.

I absolutely love this smell. This has to be some of the best cologne I have ever worn. You can wear it at work or out on the town.

I could wear this all year round. Only downside is that it fades quickly, so you could smell great in the morning but would need a refresher come early afternoon. Overall, the smell is amazing.

smelt like so many other colognes. i would not buy this again. nothing original about it. it could of been aqua di gio.

I like this scent a lot, but there is something about it that falls short after wearing it for a long time. It has a nice, clean scent and is not too heavy. I would definitely order it again.

A little old man smelling for me but not bad.

Love the scent. Starts out a little too sweet, but dries down to a nice fresh scent. Perfect for spring. I can't see JFK wearing this...but I can!!

Sweeter than my usual but still amazing

This fragrance smells like a fresh bar of soap. Not quite an ?irish spring?, but a light fragrance nonetheless.

Exceeded my expectations! Long lasting scent that stays with you all day. Would highly recommend trying it! Definitely ranks in my top 3 of all time!

love it

I found this to be too sickly sweet for me. I wore it once and really just don't want to put it on again. The description said wood, but I smell more musky scents.

I was very impressed with this fragrance. I receive many compliments on it. I only wish it last longer.

I ordered this cologne but did not receive it. However scentbird thinks i did. I hope I still get it

I wan to like this scent but it?s vanilla aroma is a little overpowering. This scent is also unisex and not very masculine.

I loved the scent and had so many compliments. Just smelling it was good but it got even better after I applied it.

This scent is by far one of the best I've ever used. However, my boyfriend said it smells nice but not for him. I've gotten compliments on it at work and I love the lingering smell throughout the day, it's not too overpowering, its soft but stays with me throughout a 12-hour shift of working as a nurse, which is good for that profession.

I didn?t like this scent. It smells like something my wife would wear.

I?m not sure if the historical reference to JFK is true, but it adds to the allure of this incredible scent. It is manly, sophisticated, yet carefree and youthful. It has many levels that carry soft, spicy notes with nice blends of citrus and sweet scents. It?s one of the most balanced, unique and intoxicating scents. My absolute favorite.

Wowowowow. The Original is casual and classy at the same time. On one hand, it?s not groundbreaking or risky or weird--it?s actually very easy to wear--but it?s also damned GOOD and has shot to the top of my want list. And it?s all the ambergris? fault. Oh my God, do I love ambergris. I did not know that I loved ambergris. But Eight & Bob smelled me the light--or more precisely, the salt-water cured byproduct of a whale?s anal glands. Until I tried The Original, I thought that I hated aquatics, hands down, no exceptions. But ambergris gives an aquatic character to The Original that salty and doesn?t screech, that?s smooooth as hell rather than being chemical hell. Fricken? excellent. The citrus and ambergris are quite dominant for the first few hours, and it dries down into a lovely woody-vanilla thing with a hint of powder. Longevity is quite good especially for this lighter kind of fragrance, about 8 hours or so. It?s quite discreet and sticks close to the skin. A big love.

a little too "perfumey"....my lady might steal this to wear it for herself, lol

The story, while flawed is still better than the cologne. At first it smells like perfume my mom used to wear in the 80's (lady stetson?), especially immediately after spraying. It mellows out with time, but holds a rose and lavender note a while and longer under the shirt before mellowing eventually to a fairly pleasant vanilla sweetness. It's not good at first, but I like it well enough after it mellows 20 - 30 mins after applying. Will not be getting more, but I might use it once in a while for something different. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ Also, your story behing Eight & Bob is nice and all except Bob Kennedy was a U.S. Senator, not ever president. He was also U.S. Attorney General during his brother John's presidency and might have been president himself one day if he hadn't also been assasinated. Might wanna update the origin story. It doesn't lessen the alleged history -- the current version makes the whole thing sound dubious. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ Reply to Chris's comment below: Chris, this site used to have a much longer and much more elaborate story in which they incorrectly listed Robert as a former USA president. He was a senator and presidential candidate, but killed before ever elected to the top office. They have since updated their backstory on the cologne and is no longer inaccurate. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I basically signed up with Scentbird to try this fragrance, and it?s been a smooth ride so far trying out this scent. Immediately I?m greeted with a citrusy note that reminds me of summer. After it hits the skin it develops quickly into a sweet, soapy song, with hints of patchouli and vanilla. I was reminded of baby powder. Very much like Prada Infusion d?homme, and very feminine (not in a bad way). My girlfriend loves it. What?s unique about this fragrance is the fact that it seems to change not only throughout the day; but even from day to day I get different notes that emerge. It is quite a complex fragrance, and I like that. It lasts all day long from just a spray or two, and it is certainly something that I think a woman would enjoy smelling, maybe even wearing herself. If you like sweet scents this is a no brainer for you. Eight & Bob The Original is a wonderful scent with an incredible story behind it, and the perfect complement to an formal evening out, or a cozy night in with someone special.

I have found that almost every woman that I pass comments about how good I smell. This Cologne is not over powering with sweet notes but actually very smooth and has just enough manliness mixed in to give you a fresh and clean scent that lasts . This scent was created for President Kennedy so I can imagine the President had some high level feed back like the first Lady Jackie Kennedy and Marylyn Monroe to name a few. I would strongly recommend this for work or casual / social engagements.

Over all I enjoy this scent, but it reminds me of Chanel No. 5, so not the most masculine scent. Not that it?s overly feminine, but there?s something about it for me. Maybe too heavy on the vanilla? I can?t quite pin point the ?issue ?, and it doesn?t ruin Eight and Bob for me, but I figured I?d mention it.

There's something I like on the initial intake of this fragrance. But there's something starkly unpleasant on the exhale. Definite headache inducer

I did enjoy wearing it although it made you feel strong yet deadly. Most knew nothing of the scent but they enjoy smelling the scent on me

Very impressed with the overall smell and the longevity of just a few sprays. My new favorite

Clean, refreshing smell, like fresh sheets! Light not overbearing.

Although others may rave and rant about this one I was neither taken back or impressed. Next please!

This is one of my favorite scents. I have since purchased a bigger bottle. It?s light and clean smelling, not over powering at all.

This scent is dark yet citrusy. It stands out and catches attention. It does not wear down for hours!

Definitely use in moderation.

Pretty strong smell but it?s not the old man old spice smell. Very floral smell. Goes well with a suit and tie. Isn?t really a laid back causal/jeans and tee shirt smell.

Can wear it going out or just as an everyday, will be buying myself a full bottle
