Fulton & Roark 226 Club — the character and story of the fragrance
Fulton & Roark 226 Club Parfum / Extrait de Parfum is a unisex fragrance released in 2024 for those who appreciate expressive compositions with a modern, composed character.
The release belongs to the fougère and woody families, combining citrus freshness, spicy bitterness and dry woody depth.
The fragrance is presented by the American brand Fulton & Roark, founded in North Carolina in 2013.
Its founders—two friends tired of compromises while travelling and of bulky bottles—focused on practicality, portability and perfume formulas that easily fit into a dynamic lifestyle.
226 Club continues this philosophy, but its character is rich and noticeable rather than utilitarian.
Olfactive profile and development
At the opening, the composition announces itself with a fresh citrus burst, peppery energy and the distinctive bitterness of bitters.
It then becomes greener and more fougère-like: geranium and lavender support a clean, well-groomed impression, while star anise and tonic add a cool spicy-aquatic nuance.
In the dry-down, 226 Club Parfum unfolds into dry woody tones of cedar and vetiver, complemented by the soft, slightly velvety texture of cashmeran.
The transition from a sparkling opening to calm, confidently masculine woods makes the composition layered and easily recognisable, while the fragrance retains a versatile gender-neutral positioning.
Concentration, sillage and wearability
Fulton & Roark 226 Club is released as a parfum, or extrait, so its character comes across as dense and rich.
According to the available data, the fragrance has a very strong sillage: the composition noticeably surrounds the wearer and can linger in the air after they leave.
It is an option for moments when you want to make an impression without sugary heaviness or excessive ornamentation.
The fragrance unfolds especially well in cool spring and autumn weather, as well as in evening settings—meetings, dinners, events and walks around the city.
The citrus-spicy opening adds a composed quality to daytime looks, while the woody base creates a deeper, more prestigious impression toward evening.
Precise recommendations for applying it to skin and clothing are not provided, so we are not specifying a universal number of sprays for this release.
Other concentrations of Fulton & Roark 226 Club are not listed in the available data either.
The perfumer and the brand’s style
Alexandra Monet worked on the composition. Her work highlights the fragrance’s signature idea: a practical format and clear structure are combined here with striking olfactive expressiveness.
226 Club does not aim to be a quiet office background—it comes across as an energetic, polished and confident perfume accent.
Similar fragrances
For further exploration of a similar mood, consider Versace Eros Parfum, as well as Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017 and Edgardio Chilini Silver Olibanum.
These fragrances share an interest in rich performance, noticeable sillage and a combination of fresh, spicy and woody tones. However, 226 Club stands out with its bitter-tonic accent and drier fougère character.
