Scent Four: Yoyogi
We’ve partnered with Comme des Garçons once more to develop our fourth scent: Yoyogi. Created in Paris by perfumer Nathalie Cetto, the fragrance was conceived by Monocle’s team and the fashion label’s Adrian Joffe before being perfected in the laboratory of Switzerland-based Givaudan. The appealing unisex scent takes its woody lead from cypress, freshly mown grass and wormwood and was designed to evoke the sensation of an early-morning run around its namesake: Yoyogi Park in Tokyo.

Leather slippers
Hender Scheme’s dedication to craftsmanship shines through in these leather slides. Stitched to accentuate the full-leather upper, the chocolate brown or navy tones have been carefully selected to develop a rich patina with wear over time. Made in Japan, its leather base offers comfort for everyday use.
Breton T-shirt
To coincide with the opening of our Paris office, Breton brand Le Minor has reimagined its iconic marinièrein colourways exclusive to Monocle. The shirt is made in France from 100 per cent cotton and features a matelot stripe in an unbleached colour – a reminder of the natural cotton's appearance before the dyeing process. Meanwhile, the deep navy blue is reminiscent of the sea, harking back to Le Minor's Breton roots and summers on France's windy northern coast.
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.

Candle One: Hinoki
The inspiration for our candle, made by Comme des Garçons in France, comes from a perfectly still, slightly chilly spring morning spent soaking in an indoor – or outdoor – tub in Kyoto. It is reminiscent of the moss and trees outside and the sharp notes of the boxy hinoki tub.
Scent Two: Laurel
Produced for Monocle by Comme des Garçons’ perfumer, Antoine Maisondieu, Laurel captures the scent and sensation enjoyed while staying with friends in Batroun, Lebanon. While many wonderful aromas drifted through their ancient garden, it was the distinctive scent of Laurel that punctuated an early spring weekend in the eastern Mediterranean. Laurel is warm, inviting and at times a little sharp – just like the country itself.

The Monocle Book of Photography: Reportage From Places Less Explored
Back in 2007 the first issues of Monocle magazine hit newsstands and kiosks around the globe. At its core was a pledge to commission all original photography capturing the world on film, on the ground and in the moment. In the years since, Monocle has continued in its pursuit of documenting through its unique lens from embassies and personal residences to world leaders and cultural stars. Each issue has featured a dedicated image-led Expo section celebrating lesser-known locales, obscure events and curious characters through truly outstanding photography. Syrian cities, French legionnaires, Thai festival goers, brutalist architecture and private member’s clubs have all graced the pages of the magazine. The Monocle Book of Photography draws on the best of these visual stories from an archive a decade and a half in the making. A handsomely produced linen-bound edition, the book also features original reporting about each of the assignments, as well as first-hand accounts from the photographers and editors involved.
