Comme des Garçons x Monocle Candle One: Hinoki

After the success of our last collaboration with Comme des Garçons, we’re bringing back the Candle One: Hinoki.

Made by Comme des Garçons in France, this candle is created from the finest wax. The inspiration for the fragrance comes from a perfectly still, slightly chilly spring morning spent soaking in an indoor/outdoor tub in Kyoto. It is reminiscent of the moss and trees outside and the sharp notes of the boxy hinoki tub.

Founded by Rei Kawakubo, Comme des Garçons is an iconic Japanese fashion label. Working with Monocle editor in chief Tyler Brûlé to produce these scents, CEO Adrian Joffe says; “he describes it with words and we translate it into the scent”.
