A fresh take on floral: meet Lady Bird, inspired by Texas wildflowers.
Lady Bird is a celebration of Texas wildflowers and the joy of sharing beauty with others. Delicate notes of Black Jack blossoms intermingle with the powdery whisper of Bluebonnets, before opening to reveal the velvety Rose offset by the brightness of Freesia. Notes of Raspberry and Pink Pepper add a spark of complexity to the assortment. Like the lake itself, Lady Bird is full of life and the delight that comes from basking in the beauty of nature.
Ghost Trees is a fresh, marine fragrance inspired by salt air, ocean waves, and sun-bleached driftwood.
Named after a legendary California surf locale, opens with a rush of Sea Water and Salt Air, that calls to mind the feeling of being amidst the massive ocean waves. Juniper Berry and White Cypress combine to create an intense freshness that brings a sense of focus and clarity to the accord. One can almost feel the warmth of the sun-bleached Driftwood present in the drydown that completes this tribute to a legendary surf locale.
Flower District is a portrait of New York in full bloom. Zesty Grapefruit and Rhubarb create a sense of the early morning buzz of the market. Violet and Tomato Leaves add the green verve of freshly trimmed stems, while the scent of Rose Blossoms adds a gentle beauty to the arrangement. Sandalwood and Amber Resins leave behind a warm glow—creating a fragrance both delicate and enduring.
Cloudland is our homage to the experience of a summer rainstorm, and the intimacy of human touch.
As we arrived at Cloudland Canyon, we had a sense our hike was doomed before it began. Perhaps it was the wild optimism of a new love that led us to ignore the gathering clouds and leave the safety of our car for the trail ahead.
Our hike had only just begun when we noticed the clouds roll in thick, heavy, and low. We paused at the overlooks to admire their ominous beauty. Neither of us wanted to be the one to suggest we turn around to call a halt to our shared exploration. And then it happened.
We heard it first, the sound of a furious downpour lashing the summer leaves in the distance. A moment later, we could smell the rain approaching—the sharp, electric scent like no other.
We started to run, but quickly realized our folly. Within seconds our clothes were soaked. We were two miles from the trailhead, and we couldn't get any wetter. So, we stopped. We laughed. There was no sense in planning what would come next. Eventually, we would get back to our warm and dry home. But, until the rain slowed, all we had was this moment. We embraced, and took it all in—the roar of the storm in our ears, the pounding of our hearts, and the scent of one another's drenched skin intermingled with the smell of rain and wet forest floor. There was no trail to follow, nor time to keep. It was only the two of us and the storm enveloping us. The hike was ruined, and the moment was perfect.
Calle Ocho is a celebration of the unique combination of cultures that comprise Little Havana. The fragrance opens with the multifaceted notes of fine aged Rum: the swirling combination of woody Amber, Oak Wood, and Bourbon-like Vanilla. The scent opens to reveal creamy Sandalwood, a hint of Orange Rind, and rich aromatic Tobacco Leaf spiced with Cinnamon. The resulting experience from Calle Ocho is warm, welcoming, and one-of-a-kind.
Gaze upon Atlanta long enough and you'll see
she deserves a love song
Look beyond the shiny new buildings and the crowded Fulton County streets
Find what’s underneath
A city built from ashes
remade time and time again
ever striving toward a more perfect union
Old southern drawls and accents fresh from far off places
in honest conversations of ugly pasts that have inspired hopeful futures
Stories that inform us but don’t imprison us
and a recognition that we made it here thanks to good troublemakers
who dreamed not of conquest but connection
Fulton celebrates more than her past
here and now, beauty abounds
remarkable art is everywhere–boutiques, museums, tunnel walls, our skin
and creative genius echoes through restaurants, film sets, dorm rooms, and concert halls
And Atlanta marches on
a city growing up and out, and into herself
never finished, and always becoming
226 Club is our toast to those willing to take a chance in the pursuit of an unforgettable night.
In 1920, the US federal government’s prohibition of alcohol began, effectively closing every bar in America. Of course, the alcohol ban didn’t keep Americans from drinking. It simply moved the party underground. Speakeasies popped up throughout the States. When it came to scofflaws, there was no place quite like Chicago. And when it came to the Chicago scene, rumor had it that there was no place as lively as The 226 Club.
Of course, separating fact from fiction isn’t easy considering the place was built on secrecy and an endless stream of cocktails. One hundred years later, that’s part of the charm. Amidst all the tales of legendary mobsters, and crooked city officials, the most fascinating stories of them all were those of the ordinary joes and janes looking for an extraordinary night–risking a run-in with the police for a night of libations and dancing with friends and strangers alike. That sense of optimism, adventure, and the joy of living for tonight inspired 226 Club.
Roark’s Cove Road may be the perfect place to ride a bike.
It’s a place where you can enjoy every moment of the ride: the smell of lush forests surrounding you–the sensation of leaning into the curves of the road, and listening to your tires on the concrete–humming along with the birds in the trees. The elevation offers a challenge, but the green canopy above provides plenty of shade in the summer.
Meanwhile, the gentle sounds of the creeks as you pass combine with the verdant scent of the surrounding forest to offer a sense of calm to complement your efforts. Our homage to the peace that a great ride can bring opens with bright notes of fresh Bergamot, Lavender, Pear Leaves, and the juicy scent of Cloudberries intermingled with Pink pepper and Citrus Zest.
Rich notes of Tonka Bean and fresh Oakwood combine with Cedar and Tree Moss to create a smooth and luxurious drydown for this idyllic year-round scent.
We’re happy to tell you about the fragrance notes that make up each scent we create.
But, you don’t love your favorite song because it’s comprised of two guitars, drums, bass and a singer…it’s the way they all combine, and ultimately, the way it makes you feel.
If you're new to Fulton & Roark, we recommend starting with a Discovery Set, and finding the fragrances that truly speak to you.
Somewhere between myth and memory lies Contrabando. Built as a backdrop for many of the Western shows and movies that defined an era, it was never a place anyone called home.
Yet, this old film set in West Texas is as much a ghost town as any other–a fiction that became truth through time and neglect. The fine line between legend and imagination is the inspiration for our fragrance Contrabando.
It is fresh and vivid, with Bergamot Zest, Ambrette, and the green pulse of Ocotillo. The mineral hush of Desert Rain collides with powdery Orris, evoking raindrops falling on the sun-scorched earth. At last, the warm and familiar scents of Cedar and Leather appear—notes that remind us that every myth begins with something real.
