Le Geste d'Edmond Extrait de Parfum

Eight & Bob Le Geste d'Edmond Extrait de Parfum is a unisex sweet perfume. A fragrance inspired by the fascinating story of Edmond Albius, focusing on vanilla, a plant valued in Europe since the 16th century. For centuries, vanilla was an exclusive treasure of Mexico because of its unique method of pollination, which defied the efforts of European scientists to replicate its cultivation. However, on Bourbon Island, a pivotal moment took place when Ferreol Bellier discovered a talented young man named Edmond Albius. Hiring him as an assistant paved the way for a historic breakthrough. In 1841, Edmond amazed Ferreol with a flowering vanilla plant, revealing the art of producing vanilla of exceptional quality. From that moment, Bourbon vanilla became world-renowned. And so, Le Geste d'Edmond Extrait de Parfum celebrates this extraordinary history, capturing the essence of that pivotal moment through a fragrance that enchants and surprises the senses.
