Hinoki, Scent One by Comme des Garçons


One of our favorite fragrances is Hinoki, Scent One by Comme des Garçons. Produced for Monocle by Comme des Garçons' perfumer, Antoine Maisondieu, Hinoki is a cedary, woody scent inspired by Japanese hot-spring baths and Scandinavian forests.

Hinoki reminds us of of Comme des Garçons' 2002 Series 3 Incense Collection, our favorite series from this house. All five of the fragrances in the Insese Collection are interesting AND very wearable. Several are complex and simply gorgeous.

Hinoki is available at selected Comme des Garçons stores and on monocle.com.
