Inspiration

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.

This olfactive concoction opens with sparkling notes of fresh Lemon and Orange Bitters. Tonic notes mingle with the scent of Star Anise and Geranium giving the mix a touch of sweetness, while Black Pepper lends a splash of effervescence. Warm Cedarwood, Vetiver, and Cashmere Woods create a contrasting warmth, calling to mind the feel of a lively crowd, ready for the time of their lives.

About the perfumer


Alexandra Monet
Sparkling and spontaneous, Alexandra Monet is the personification of joie de vivre. At the age of 13, her curiosity led her to discover the programs at ISIPCA. She remembers the great perfumers of that time – like Francoise Caron – who supported her in her professional development and to whom she remains very close. Her passion grew, and Alexandra focused her studies on making perfumery her profession.
 
The love of her profession brought Alexandra to Munich, Germany for 6 years. She wanted to start her career living in the German culture, with its reputation for order and structure – in keeping with her own character. Her creations at that time reflected a certain expression of balance and organization. She appreciated all that the Bavarian capital offered, with its easy life, far from violence and stress. But it is in Paris that Alexandra really feels at home, surrounded by her friends and family with whom she likes to spend time. She loves the atmosphere of big cities, which gives her the feeling that she is never alone. It’s the energy that she loves the most.
 
Besides Paris, this city girl also likes New York, Singapore, Dubai and Hong Kong. Their architecture makes her dizzy. The hearts of these cities at night are especially captivating with their constant activity – almost like that of an anthill – as if these cities never sleep!
 
Alexandra loves to travel. This escape from her day to day life nourishes her creativity. She enjoys discovering new tastes and smells, and also meeting new people. “I do like traveling alone, because it allows me to see things differently and to approach people more easily. Stories and memories from travelling are a wonderful way to inspire my olfactive imagination.” One of her most wonderful travel destinations is India; it’s a place she loves and which she has visited many times, finding it a country of great contrasts. “There you can find both the most horrible and the most extraordinary smells all at once; somber colors as well as the most vibrant and shimmering.”

A note from the Perfumer:

“The scent opens with a crisp burst of zesty lemon and vibrant orange, invigorating the senses with a citrusy freshness. A floral blend of geranium and lavandin brings a touch of elegance and sophistication, evolving into a warm, musky base. The result is a beautifully balanced scent that is both invigorating and grounding, perfect for those who seek a fragrance that transcends time and space.”
