Le Pari d'Honfleur

French seaside elegance, fig and musk in the Normandy air. Le Pari d'Honfleur by Eight & Bob is a unisex eau de parfum that pairs a milky, green fig with violet and Guatemalan cardamom, then settles into coconut, tonka, papyrus, smooth woods and musk: polished, breezy and understated. The Story The fragrance is a tribute to the seaside town of Honfleur in Normandy, where French elegance meets coastal serenity. In the house's tale, Albert Fouquet and his friend Christian spent summers at the Deauville-La Touques racecourse and at Christian's home in Honfleur. When a wager on a horse named Grillemont was lost, Fouquet made Christian a special version of his perfume using roses from Christian's garden, cedarwood and musk, and named it Le Pari d'Honfleur, the Honfleur wager, in memory of that day. It is a 2025 release. How It Smells Opening A clean coastal brightness of Guatemalan cardamom, violet and fig, airy and fresh with green nuances. Heart The fig softens into a green, milky, slightly fruity accord, rounded by Brazilian tonka bean, papyrus and coconut for creamy, natural elegance. Dry Down Sandalwood, Virginia cedarwood and musk create a smooth, skin-like warmth: refined, breezy and modern yet timeless.
