Have you heard the history? Let's just say this is a perfume with quite a heritage, going back to the 1930's with connections to J.F.K. and Albert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat, who was part of the elite French society in the early twentieth century and a perfume connoisseur. Curious to learn more? Find the entire story at eightandbob.com! And be sure to come into the shop to sample this special fragrance collection. Like everything in Brightwater, the Eight & Bob brand is a perfect marriage of quality and story.

Heading to the cabin? Stop in to stock up on Mackenzie's Fisherman Hand Scrub (and throw in a shower bar and hand lotion for good measure!).

Made in New England by fisherman, used by everyone! MacKenzie's Fisherman Hand Scrub is the one and only odor removing scrub that uses zero harsh chemicals, and completely removes tough stains and odors from your hands, cutting boards, coolers and more. Using natural soap, walnut husk, and lemon essential oil, MacKenzie's Fisherman Hand Scrub is adored by fishermen, cooks, gardeners, mechanics and just about anyone who is looking to remove the stink and grime.

We swear by it, and think you will too after one try!
