Yoshino Hinoki oil refill

The scent is built from fresh, deep and spicy notes of cedar wood, sandalwood and cardamom. This oil soaks into the small platform of the Yoshino Hinoki Diffuser, letting the aromatic nature of the wood disperse the fragrance throughout your living space or office.

Sweatshirt “Monocle”

For Monocle readers and listeners old and new, this branded sweatshirt comes in grey melange or navy. Made in Portugal, this weighty 100 per cent cotton fleece has a thicker feel and a relaxed fit.

Duffle coat

The duffle coat, available in navy and camel, is designed with reinforced seams by Invertère – a British brand with a rich coat-making history that was revived in 2013 by a Japanese company after disappearing from the market in the 1980s. The coat is made using the finest herringbone fabric from English manufacturer, Joshua Ellis, renowned for its 250-year expertise in luxury woollen fabrics and sustainable practices. In a rare collaboration with Monocle, Invertère adds a unique finishing touch through exclusive co-branded buttons, departing from its usual independent-branding approach. Featuring real horn toggles with leather loops, the duffle coat layers well over shirts and lightweight jumpers.

Sewn in Portugal, this extra-fine scarf adds textural depth to any outfit whether looped around your neck or draped over your shoulders. Complete your winter set with our matching olive or navy wool beanie and gloves.

Padded coat

Taking its design cues from a French military coat from the 1990s, this padded jacket is made in Japan and features an A-line silhouette and voluminous collar for warmth. Crafted from a taffeta weave made exclusively for padded items in Kiryū, this is a coat worth investing in for many winters to come.

Scent Three: Sugi

Sugi – also known as Japanese cedar – is popular as an ornamental plant in Japan and has a delicate, clean and energising fragrance. After our collaborations with Comme des Garçons on Hinoki and Laurel we returned to them for this third scent. Developed in Paris by Antoine Maisondieu it comes in a Monocle-designed bottle and box. It is a refreshing scent that’s light but sophisticated, beginning with top notes of Mediterranean cypress and pepper from Madagascar, followed by iris from Florence and cedar from Virginia, and finished with pine and Haitian vetiver.

Wool ribbed socks

Experience the ultimate blend of comfort and durability with these wool ribbed socks.

Bearing the Monocle brand at the sole, they are available in chocolate, forest green and navy in a ribbed design that will cocoon your feet in warmth and lightweight comfort.

Scent One: Hinoki

Produced for Monocle by Comme des Garçons’ perfumer, Antoine Maisondieu, the inspiration for Hinoki comes from a perfectly still, slightly chilly spring morning spent soaking in an indoor/outdoor tub at the Tawaraya in Kyoto. It pulls together our memory of the mosses and trees outdoors and the sharp notes of the boxy hinoki tub.
