Eight & Bob JFK Fragrance

Saw this blurb today on Uncrate and was intriqued with the story behind it. Not sure it's worth $200.00, but I really like the presentation and backstory.

As a young man, while vacationing in the French Riviera, John F. Kennedy met a young dandy named Albert Fouquet, known for his expertise in crafting fine fragrances. Kennedy was particularly impressed with one scent — now called Eight & Bob ($195) — and asked for a bottle. Fouquet included a note with the gift, which read in part "in this bottle, you will find the dash of French glamour that your American personality lacks." Later, after returning home, Kennedy requested another order of eight bottles, plus one for his brother Robert (hence the name). Now, after more than 70 years in dormancy, this fragrance is available in limited quantities, so you too can add a bit of French glamour to your personality.

Consider me incredulous. I have an easier time believing that Creed's marketing department left, formed their own company and this is the result.
 
Fragrance marketing lingo usually consists of lies and/or half-truths. I'm inclined to believe the rule applies here too. But hey, if you really like it and feel it's worth its price by all means go for it.

Just got a decant of this today. Pretty much identical to Fahrenheit 32 as far as I can tell. Disappointing.

Interesting. I've only tried sample sprays while at the store and found the scent to be nice, but ordinary. How long does it last for you?
