Folkwinds Sleepy Hollow is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Rajesh Balkrishnan and Jono Bornstein. Sleepy Hollow opens with Brandy, Night-Blooming Jasmine, Spicy Notes, and Patchouli, settles into a heart of Canadian Fir Balsam, Musk, Oakmoss, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Fruity Notes, Oud, and Beeswax. Folkwinds's Sleepy Hollow carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Sleepy Hollow is an autumn woodland scent, all fallen leaves, fir balsam, oakmoss and hay with a boozy apple-and-brandy opening. It is unusual, atmospheric and clearly not for everyone. If you want something that feels like a story, this is it.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Sleepy Hollow opens with amburana bark, patchouli, spice, apple and brandy, with night-blooming jasmine adding a floral edge. The heart is the real picture: dried fallen leaves, Canadian fir balsam, oakmoss, wool, musk, rose and narcissus, which together read as a damp autumn forest. The base brings hay, oud, beeswax, styrax and immortelle, with some fruity notes, for a warm, resinous, slightly sweet finish. It is a dark, earthy, woody-spicy scent with a strong sense of place.
