There are so many fragrance launches each year it’s difficult to write about them all. Speed Sniffs is a way to bring you quick and easy to digest reviews o fragrances in a paragraph or two. After all, sometimes all one needs is a few lines to capture the essence of a scent. Speed Sniffs are perfume reviews without all of the faff and tell you whether the subject is something you want to sniff or not. So hurry up and read, because we don’t have much time…

The subject of today’s Speed Sniff is Nuit de Megève by Eight & Bob. You may know Eight & Bob as the brand who reportedly created a scent worn by JFK, who was rumoured to have loved the scent so much he ordered eight bottles of it, asking for one for Bobby too. Nuit de Megève is inspired by a chance encounter with a beautiful woman in a Megève ski resort and aims to capture that evening, through the smells of the “mountain air and the wood burning in the fireplace”. It’s a scent inspired by memory and like all of Eight & Bob’s fragrances, it tells a story.
