Inspiration
Inspired by the rumored speakeasy “226 Club” of Prohibition-era Chicago, this fragrance pays homage to nights fueled by optimism, risk, and celebration. In a time when bars were shuttered, the party simply moved underground. The thrill wasn’t just in the drink - it was in the atmosphere. The music. The crowd. The electricity of possibility.
226 Club captures that spirit: effervescence layered over warmth, freshness anchored in wood. A fragrance for those who show up ready for the night.
Maximum Concentration. Exceptional Presence.
After years of refining their solid fragrance craftsmanship, Fulton & Roark introduced Extrait de Parfum - their most concentrated and longest-lasting fragrance format to date. Each scent is formulated at a true Extrait de Parfum concentration (25–30%), significantly higher than most fragrances on the market.
For comparison:
- Eau de Toilette (EDT): typically 5–10%
- Eau de Parfum (EDP): typically 10–20%
- Fulton & Roark Extrait: 25–30%
The result is deeper complexity, enhanced longevity, and a fragrance that evolves beautifully throughout the day.
What Makes Extrait Different?
Higher fragrance concentration means:
-
Greater Longevity - Designed to last 8–12+ hours depending on skin chemistry and environment.
-
Richer Depth - Base notes develop more fully and remain present longer.
-
Smoother Evolution - The scent unfolds gradually, revealing layers with time.
-
Less Product Needed - A light application delivers powerful impact. This is fragrance with intention and endurance.
How It Wears
Extrait de Parfum sits closer to the skin than overly diffusive sprays but lasts significantly longer than lower-concentration fragrances. Expect:
- Stronger opening presence
- Longer mid-note development
- A persistent, refined drydown It’s noticeable without being aggressive — powerful but composed.
How to Apply
- Spray lightly on pulse points - wrists, neck, or chest.
- Avoid over-application - the higher concentration requires less product.
- Allow the fragrance to evolve naturally throughout the day.
- Two to three sprays are typically sufficient.
