EIGHT & BOB Cap d'Antibes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Cap d'Antibes opens with Birch, Violet Leaf, and Mint, settles into a heart of Green Notes, Oakmoss, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vanilla, and Incense. EIGHT & BOB's Cap d'Antibes carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive affair. Some reckon its green, violet-leaf kick is a fresh take on classic masculines, while others find it generic, synthetic, or just plain boring. Test it before you commit, because this ain't a safe blind buy.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

Its initial freshness and moderate performance make it suitable for everyday wear, particularly in an office setting. However, the emerging warmth and smokiness in the dry-down might be a bit much for truly formal events or intense sports.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Cap d'Antibes opens with a crisp, green punch of violet leaf and cool mint, immediately setting a fresh, almost watery tone. As it settles, earthy oakmoss and warm cinnamon weave in, adding a subtle, cosy spice. The dry-down slowly reveals a woody base of cedar and a hint of smoky incense, softened by a touch of vanilla, maintaining a refined freshness that evolves over time.
