-
Heart Notes: Juniper Berries, Balsam, Violet, Cedar Leaf
- Base Notes: Virginia Cedar, Amber, Patchouli, Coumarin
Bright citrus and saltwater open the scent with immediate freshness. Juniper and balsam add green clarity, while violet and cedar leaf soften the transition into a drydown of warm cedar, amber, and subtle patchouli.
Fresh, airy, and quietly structured.
What It Smells Like
Kiawah smells like walking along a sun-warmed boardwalk toward the ocean. There’s salt in the air, citrus on the breeze, and wood underfoot. The cedar adds warmth and stability, preventing the marine notes from feeling sharp or aquatic-heavy.
It’s clean but not soapy. Coastal but not briny. Fresh, with depth.
Inspiration
Inspired by Kiawah Island off the coast of South Carolina, this fragrance reflects the paradox of the ocean — powerful yet calming, expansive yet intimate.
Kiawah captures that balance: the cool rush of sea air against the warmth of cedarwood. It’s a scent that feels equally at home in summer heat or layered under cooler skies.
Relaxed confidence in fragrance form.
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.
