Fulton & Roark Cathedral of Ruins:

A cold-weather fragrance doesn’t necessarily need to smell sweet, but it should have enough depth to hold its own when temperatures fall. Fulton & Roark Cathedral of Ruins Extrait de Parfum takes a different route from the familiar vanilla, tobacco, and amber combinations often associated with winter perfumery. Built around smoldering frankincense, saffron, and leathered woods, it is a dark, richly textured composition that finds its identity in smoke, spice, and the warmth of aged materials. For anyone looking to add something less predictable to their seasonal fragrance rotation, Fulton & Roark Cathedral of Ruins is worth a closer look.
