He didn’t fill the order until his butler, Philippe, found some beautiful glass bottles in a Parisian pharmacy that Albert considered suitable for his cologne. His perfectionism extended not only to the fragrance but everything surrounding it. Without fully understanding the request, Albert decided to send a box with sufficient samples to offset the transport costs.

He requested that Albert send him eight samples, “and if your production allows, another one for Bob”. thanking him for the kind gesture and informing him of the success his perfume was enjoying among his friends. On returning from the Côte d’Azur, Albert received a letter from John in the U.S. John’s charm and congeniality persuaded Albert to leave him a sample of his cologne with a note at the hotel the following morning: “In this bottle, you will find that dash of French glamour that your American personality lacks.” Within minutes of being introduced, the vain JFK was captivated by the essence that Albert wore. One night during his summer vacation in 1937 on the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur), Albert met and got on very well with a young American student who was touring France in a convertible: John F. However, Fouquet continually rejected proposals to market his fragrance. At social events he regularly surprised everyone with his exquisite fragrances that became increasingly popular within the exclusive social circle he frequented. In a chamber on the upper floor of the family chateau, Fouquet created and perfected various essences for his own personal use – aided by Philippe, the family butler. A trip to the past to capture its essence in its purest form.Įarly in the twentieth century, Albert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat, was a noted member of the elite French society and a perfume connoisseur.
