Folkwinds Sleepy Hollow was launched in 2024 as a very small batch of 100 bottles. A collaboration between Folkwinds and Rajesh Balkrishnan, it is an ode to childhood autumns - leaves, candy, hay rides. Folkwinds Sleepy Hollow is an EDP, eau de parfum.
From the brand -
"Sleepy Hollow is an unapologetic nostalgia trip through the autumns of my childhood; the autumns of my dreams; the autumns filled with haunted houses, sacks full of candy, leaf piles and hay rides. Sleepy Hollow is the scent which haunts your vague memories of staying up past bedtime, walking through the woods at night, playing manhunt, and listening to ghost stories.....And maybe you believed them."
Fragrantica - "it's dreamy, unique & packed with many of my favorite fall-weather notes. bright and playful while being dark and mysterious at the same time... i'm going to love wearing this through the winter -- much respect to Rajesh & Folkwinds for creating this special gem -- this is talent!! "
Fragrantica - "My take on this fragrance is a "Dark enchanted forest with a fruity floral twist". The notes concord to what you're supposed to expect. If you're a fan of Jono's slumberhouse inspired style and a fan of Rajesh's haxan & aranyaka, then this is a must try. This is far from being your basic typical office friendly fragrance but then again if you're here, you would already know that. Sleepy hollow is rather complex and for me it's the perfect fragrance for those chalet/ cabin trips up north where the temperature is colder, where you chop wood for the fireplace, and drink whiskey and go hunting! "
Fragrantica - "This is niche perfumery of the highest order. Perhaps the ultimate Fall fragrance and a Thanksgiving dinner must wear for me. A perfume experience. If you're a fan of Josh Lobb's Slumberhouse, you'll be head over heels with this. Spicy warm green and creamy fougere. Beautiful work from Juno and Balkrishnan. A joy to experience."
Fragrantica - "For me it was walking into an 1800's Victorian house in New Hampshire. The dust swirls in the air reflected by the sun light streaming through the lace curtained windows. Wood floors creak with each step below your boots as you pass through the hallway into the kitchen and out the porch to the fall faded backyard. The bright colors of earlier in the season have long disappeared. The powerful scent of dried hay and brown aspen leaves crackle beneath your feet. Halloween has just passed. Thanksgiving and the long cold snowy winter beckon you into the future.
Fragrantica - "This fragrance epitomizes the Fall season. It opens with a lovely Jasmine and a sweet, dark earthy Patchouli. I can just make out one of my favorite notes in the Apple Brandy. And then it progresses into all of the familiar scents of Fall, such as dried fruits and spices and all of those things. we love about this time of year. Later it evokes thoughts of deep dark, mossy ancient woods for me. I can literally close my eyes and feel like I'm in a "Sleepy Hollow".
