‘RUNWAY BOWS’ BY FONZIE FOLKSY

There’s something about the right perfume—it doesn’t just finish an outfit, it finishes a sentence. A few drops behind the ear, a little on the wrist, and suddenly you’re not just wearing fragrance, you’re wearing intention.

Fonzie Folksy’s latest Eau de Parfum, Runway Bows, lands with that exact energy. It’s not loud. It doesn’t scream for attention. It just stands there—composed, composedly bold.

The brand describes it as a "spicy tribute to floral aromas", and while we haven’t sampled it yet, the composition suggests a gradual build-up—like a slow burn on silk.

Let’s break it down.

The Scent Story: Layer by Layer

While we haven’t sampled the perfume firsthand, the brand outlines a vivid olfactory journey through its carefully chosen notes:

• Top Notes: The opening is led by saffron and rose, setting a softly spiced floral tone. These ingredients are often known for their warm, uplifting qualities—hinting at a fresh, slightly exotic start.

• Heart Notes: As the fragrance settles, it moves into patchouli and sandalwood, suggesting a deeper, more grounded middle layer. Earthy and aromatic, these elements often lend complexity and wearability to a perfume.

• Base Notes: The dry-down includes leather and agarwood (oud), which generally bring intensity and staying power. These notes are associated with bold, long-lasting finishes—often worn when one wants to make an impression.

It’s Not Just a Perfume, It’s a Moment

The name Runway Bows feels deliberate. It’s not about trends or flash-in-the-pan glamour. It points to theatre, gesture, and closure—like the final bow at the end of a show. The last step. The kind of detail only someone intentional would notice.

The design too, from what we’ve seen, keeps things minimal. No glitter, no fuss. Just clean lines and a bottle that sits confidently wherever you place it—your dresser, your desk, your carry-on.

Curious but Cautious? There’s a Discovery Set

If you’re someone who needs to wear a scent for a few hours before deciding, Fonzie Folksy’s Discovery Set might be the smarter route. For ₹750, you get 2ml samples of four EDPs: Runway Bows, Evenfall, The Gallerie, and O’Live It. Try them. Layer them. Let them live on your skin before you choose.

Plus, that ₹750 is redeemable when you go in for the full-size version, which is priced at ₹5,299. Small things done right—that’s always a good sign.

Bottom Line? It’s Not Loud. It Lasts.

Runway Bows doesn’t try to dominate the room. At least not from what the composition suggests. It’s for those who like their presence to unfold gradually. A whisper over a shout. A knowing glance over a dramatic wave.

You don’t need to perform when your perfume is doing the storytelling for you.
