Aomori hiba room scent
This room fragrance will lift and lighten your home over winter with the crisp, woody scent of hiba essential oils. As well as being a highly valued ornamental wood, the hiba aroma has natural antibacterial and insect-repellent properties, leaving your house feeling refreshed and clean.
Yoshino Hinoki Diffuser
This flameless diffuser is made from hinoki wood by Japanese aromatherapy specialist @Aroma. Each diffuser is accompanied by a bottle of bespoke essential oil developed exclusively for Monocle. The scent is built from fresh, deep and spicy notes of cedar wood, sandalwood and cardamom. The oil soaks into the small platform of the diffuser, letting the aromatic nature of the wood disperse the fragrance throughout your living space or office.
Fascinated by the ‘architecture' of the olfactory, @Aroma is a Tokyo-based scent specialist.
