- From a fateful meeting on the French Riviera in 1937 to your collection today, The Original by Albert Fouquet is more than a fragrance—it’s a story of timeless elegance and charm.
Albert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat, was part of the elite French society in the early twentieth century and a perfume connoisseur. In a room 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.
One night during the 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. Kennedy. Within minutes of being introduced, J.F.K. was captivated by the essence that Albert wore.
John's charm and congeniality persuaded Albert to leave him a sample of his fragrance with a note at the hotel the following morning: "In this bottle, you will find the dash of French glamour that your American personality lacks."
On returning from his vacation, Albert received a letter from John in the U.S. thanking him for the kind gesture and informing him of the success his perfume was having among his friends.
He asked Albert to send him eight samples, "and if your production allows, another one for BOB.".
