THE HISTORY

A bottle of Eight & Bob Le Trou 19 Du Phare perfume stands centered in front of a blurred landscape with a pond and building.

Biarritz was one of Albert Fouquet's essential destinations. After his stay in Honfleur at Christian’s residence, where days were spent between Les Planches beach and the La Touques racetrack in Deauville, the two would travel to Biarritz. There, they were joined by Simon, arriving from Burgundy, and Thomas, coming from northern Spain. Both were men of the land whom Fouquet entrusted with managing Burgundy’s most coveted vineyards.

The purpose of the meeting was to receive a detailed report from Simon on the year’s progress at the estate and to coordinate preparations for the September harvest.

Once the professional matters were addressed during the afternoon in a meeting room at the Hôtel du Palais, where they stayed, the four transitioned to enjoying the deep friendship they had built over the years.

The next morning, promptly at nine, they gathered at the Clubhouse of Le Phare golf course, ready to show their competitive side in pursuit of the annual championship title: Christian and Thomas against Simon and Albert.

Around this competition, they created a series of rituals known as “The 19th Hole.” It began with a dinner paid for by the losing team, followed by the ceremonial trophy presentation. According to tradition, the losers then had to dive fully clothed into the sea and, dripping wet, astonish the Hôtel du Palais guests and staff by requesting their room keys.

During one of the early “19th Hole” gatherings, Thomas presented Fouquet with a bouquet of geraniums carefully cultivated at his countryside home. Knowing Fouquet’s expertise in creating exclusive perfumes, he suggested Albert take the precious bouquet to Paris to craft a unique, magical, and unrepeatable fragrance.

In the following edition, Albert surprised his three friends by presenting each of them with his masterpiece, "Le trou 19 du Phare".

A brilliant addition that might just be stealing the crown

Among Albert Fouquet’s creations, The Original has always set the golden standard for pure, understated elegance. Over time, exploring pieces like Cap d’Antibes with its refined green breeze and Egypt with that warm, sophisticated spice and leather base only reaffirmed what makes this house exceptional: an effortless balance between fresh opening accords and noble, textured woods.

Le Trou 19 du Phare?

What immediately strikes me is how seamlessly it channels that familiar house signature while taking it into thrilling, bolder territory. In my experience, it feels like the perfect intersection of what makes the other creations so memorable: it carries the aromatic crispness I appreciate in Antibes and the spicy, leathery warmth of Egypt, yet anchors them in a vibrant, mineral-edged cedar and vetiver that feels entirely its own.

The frosted citrus and black pepper burst open with remarkable clarity, but once that subtle leather and geranium settle into the woods, the scent develops an addictive, open-air magnetic pull. It avoids every predictable oceanic trope, delivering instead a sharp, aristocratic freshness with genuine body and depth.

The Original remains a sacred benchmark of composure, but I have to confess: Le Trou 19 du Phare has cast a very dangerous spell. There is a luminous, free-spirited character to it that makes it nearly impossible not to reach for. A brilliant addition that might just be stealing the crown.
