Basenoter Jono Bornstein has just launched his brand – Folkwinds, a brand that intends to highlight North American made aromatic materials, designs, and artwork; creating scent-scapes that capture the great beauty of North America, using primarily natural, American-sourced materials.
The current offerings are over 90% natural and feature some of the finest ingredients such as ambergris, deer musk, quality floral absolutes, and sandalwood. The European bottles are paired with heavy stainless steel caps, patch labels woven in Pennsylvania, and come wrapped in a USA-made Folkwinds bandana. Each bandana is its own unique artwork carrying the spirit of its fragrance.
Folkwinds is launching with three fragrances:
Cloud Illusions ($335, 50m extrait)
“A day spent dreaming. A hike in the mountains. Blue wind.
Iris, Maine blueberries, white ambergris, blue cypress, Hawaiian sandalwood, Oregon mint, musk
Hand made with Maine blueberry/Hubba-Bubba-bubblegum co-fermented absolute, vintage orris tincture and American orris butter.”
