EIGHT & BOB

EIGHT & BOB

The Original

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. 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.

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

I was extremely impressed with Eight & Bob. My wife loved it and I received many compliments. It certainly is an excellent fragrance.

Love this scent. I'm taking it on my cruise!!!

Great scent, JFK had good taste

Enjoyed the scent, felt that it lasted a short time. Not sure if that was a watered down version I received or the true version. I had experienced delays with customer service for some time. Hard to say if this was on the up and up from go. But skeptical about all the scents as of now. Been overcharged and little upset still so that could have been what lowered score

Nothing spectacular. If this is what JFK wore, the cigars must of dulled his senses.

Really enjoy the clean fragrance of eight & bob

When I was a kid all my sisters friends smelled like this! If your interested in smelling like a teenage girl in 1970's this is the scent for you.... otherwise stay away!

I enjoy the fragrance once it wears for a while. It is a little sweet for my body chemistry and after a while losea that sec appeal i had expected from the scent. However, I would certainly suggest to anyone who wanted a subtle softer smelling mens fragrance. Cheers

very happy with the smell of this.top shelf

This fragrance is one of my favorites now! JFK had great taste in cologne just as he did in women. I have had more compliments with this cologne than any other I have worn before! Must try! It?s a very sophisticated smell.

One of my new favorites!

I really wanted to like this cologne. but on me the floral scents come through entirely too strong and i fell like i'm standing in a nursing home. unfortunately this is not for me.

I would agree with other reviews that the fragrance is strong upon application but then fades throughout the day. I was excited about this fragrance due to its history but have not had one compliment since I have been wearing it. I like it but wouldn't be my first choice.

great scent for the spring, summer, or during the day.

Superb discreet and classy. Not overwhelming and makes people smile...specially girls!!

Scent is way too strong, smells more like women's perfume.

The opening scent is great the dry down is great it?s not really strong so it?s not going to linger and it doesn?t last very long so the only reason it doesn?t get 5 is it doesn?t last

Love it

A touch feminine, but I like to smell it on myself, and I've had a few compliments in the first couple of days. Starts strong but softens and the softer scent stays quite a while.

This scents is amazing! I?ve never smelled anything better !

Good scent very clean no staying power

Tried it based on some reviews here. It came across really light. My wife was not a fan.

This is an excellent scent. The fragrance lasts and lasts. Although it smells great, it's a bit strong for me. I have to go very light or risk a mild headache. Yes, there are scents I'm very sensitive to.

Pleasant scent and lasted for a full day

This right here . Let me tell you what. This stuff right here is ?The bees knees? . I mean seriously the man, the myth, the legend JFK had the White House staff keep this in stock at all times, it was his go to and can you blame him he got freakin Jackie O! But seriously this fragrance is outstanding. Thanks to your staff for keeping it in hand would of never found it otherwise.

I was very surprised how much I liked this scent. It starts off great and the with the dry down it gets even better. About a solid 6 hours of coverage!

nice and sweet very classic I like it alot

I really love this fragrance. It?s got such a classic smooth and not overbearing smell and it lasts for much of the day.

Surprisingly for me, this one was very decent. I would go to office wearing this, or even to some formal occasions. It's not my #1 choice, but fine.

Good , but not blown away. Very light almost perfumey like. My usual is Invasion Barbare by MDCI, I like a masculine floral but this just didn't float my boat at all, rather disappointed that when sprayed on me, it mixed with my body chemistry in a not so good way, Glad it was a sample and not a full bottle. Will try it again (maybe for a week) and see if it changes.

You better be a huge fan of bergamot to like this one. Unfortunately, I am not.

Loved it. I normally have a hard time finding new scents for me. This one is a solid!

Too manly (spicy) scented. I give up on woodsy scents. Going back to citrusy scents.

Really enjoyed this cologne. Very soft. I am use to over bearing strong smells. My wife said she really enjoys, but she doesn't smell it unless she's close. (so in any married mans eyes this is a good thing). I personally like the soft smell. I like to smell it which I do, and when you pass someone, they too will smell you and I promise, it will get their mind thinking.... "what is that?" I would say it has notes of vanilla... personally that is what I smell the most. I am a bearded manly man so it's a tad soft for me, but I totally like the change. This is a cologne, that I do own now, and wear on special occasions and date nights with my wife. It's my stellar cologne I like to cherish. Would totally recommend it. Don't get scared by the price and try the sample to see for yourself. In my personal eyes it has more of a feminine smell than an over powerful manly scent. You only live once, try it out and see for yourself! It is one I definitely will always keep on my shelf!

This scent smells very fresh and clean. It has a citrus scent that leans more to the sweet side than flowery. It is a light scent that lingers all day and is perfect for hot weather. It is similar in that way to D&G's Light blue and if you like Light Blue you'll definitely love this one.

It?s a great scent for everyday. Definitely a classic smell with sweet notes. I am more of a citrus scent lover or I would have given this a 5.

Very musky scent. It's very masculine, but reminds me more of my father wearing Brut way back when. Wasn't especially thrilled.

AMAZING fragrance! Very masculine, but subtle at the same time. Everyone that smells it on me has to ask what am I wearing my girlfriend loves it so that?s definitely a plus! re

Wonderful scent but it doesn?t last throughout the day.
