Valley of the Summer Veils
You meander through antiquated train carriages on your way to Cuba's sugar plantations. Rum evaporates from halved coconuts, blurring the windows made of scorched milked glass. Veil bananas bloom white cocktails. Remnants of pineapples drip from the hay straws. Cinnamon light falls on the soft resins on the old compartment rotten wood walls. The wind blows the hazy summer vanillas onto the skins of the farm animals. Onto the sun scorched sugar cane fields. Valle de los Ingenios.

Founded in 2022 by Jono Bornstein, the Folkwinds label primarily uses natural raw materials from America to capture the scent landscapes of North America.
However, “By-and-By” transports me more to the scenario of an old wooden train compartment, as one might experience in Cuba on the journey from Trinidad to the Valle de los Ingenios, the valley of sugar cane plantations, where charter tourists are served fruity rum cocktails in halved coconuts. Frangipani underscores the fruity notes of pineapple, developing a slightly milky, banana-like coconut note, which is warmly spiced by the cinnamon-like, also slightly coconut-crystalline aromas of ambruana wood. The roasted aromas of coconut are also clearly perceptible to me. White amber and vanilla create a very pleasant creamy overall impression, which is subtly enhanced by the slightly mulchy ouds, castoreum, and warm deer musk in the base with animalistic leathery and sweeter nuances. A composition that is quite dense on the one hand, but also very deep and multi-layered and rounded on the other, clearly and moderately reflecting this long summer journey.
