"Smelling good makes a massive first impression! They specialize in solid, wax-based colognes that don't sweat off easily. Try looking into their scents, Hwy 190 or Matia — they have that same premium, peppery, clean-skin vibe."
"I got into perfume after impulse buying a sample set from Fulton and Roark. I'm honestly grateful that they brought me into the world of perfume. Fulton & Roark Narada — this is the scent that made me go 'woah, I didn't know perfume could do that.'"
"I was shopping around Harbour Town on my last vacation and saw a little stand of Fulton and Roark solid colognes. Some of them smelled incredible! I bought some 226 club but haven't used it yet."
"Try Contrabando from Fulton and Roark! It smells just like hiking in the desert, reminds me of morning hikes in the southwest."
"Girl, wear the men's fragrances if you like them!! Some of them are so good. Cloudland by Fulton and Roark is a fantastic clean fragrance and I was like 'why is this marketed to men?!'"
"Fulton and Roark solid cologne started here." [in response to "What products/brands are you surprised to find are local?"]
"Fulton and Roark is niche by definition, and their bottles are niche-priced. They just advertise well on social media. They are also considered indie brands. They are both pretty good. I really like Calle Ocho from Fulton and Roark. This is kind of my wheelhouse, as I deal in indie/smaller niche fragrances."
"YSL Myself (leans masculine but I love this one on a woman), Sterling by Fulton and Roark, several Tom Ford scents would fit the bill. I love the idea of wearing a traditionally masc scent and wearing it better than he ever could."
"Versace Pour Homme, Fulton and Roark Palmetto, and Kenneth Cole Reaction all remind me of being young and put a smile on my face. Pure good vibes."
"Cloudland by Fulton And Roark, Beaut'Air by Quartana. My first reaction to the latter was 'biblically accurate clean girlie'."
"Out of all the fragrances so far, my wife has only commented on two: Fulton & Roark Ghost Trees, and Jo Malone English Pear/Freesia."
"Devils Garden by Fulton and Roark is a super deep incense-y smell if you're looking for a stronger/fuller scent!"
"LE LABO IS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMING HOUSES I HAVE EVER WORN. Pretty much all of their fragrances lasted 8–12 hours on me. That said, the well-known ones are highlights of the brand and the rest are pretty forgettable. Some are masterpieces — Baie 19, Noir 29, Another 13 — but Patchouli 24 literally ruined my day. Overall: deeply impressive house but wildly inconsistent across the lineup. Cannot recommend the discovery set enough if you have the budget."
"Tobacco Vanille Parfum could become one of my favorite Tom Fords ever — I love boozy and tobacco fragrances so this sounds like a match made in heaven. I can't lie, I'm surprised it took TF so long to make a flanker for Tobacco Vanille given how insanely popular it is."
"Love: Bibliotheque, Mumbai Noise, Pulp, Velvet Haze, Animalique. I do not like all those Byredo extrait de parfum with red liquid because they stain clothing. I like these scents but cannot use them."
"It's nice but not for me. I love Fairway — one of the best blind buys I've ever made. But I just can't vibe with Riviera. I'm selling mine if you want to DM me — way less than $124."
