What does Monocle Scent One: Hinoki smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer the least favoured. It is seen as closest to leisure and daily wear, and also judged suitable for business and evenings. Voters read it as more masculine, though it keeps its unisex character.

The notes read as a single whole: the sharp freshness of camphor and thyme joins the woody body of cedar, pine and pine resin. Frankincense and tree moss add a smoky, earthy depth, while cypress and vetiver keep the green tone going. Georgywood® gives a dry, clean woodiness. Borntostandout Hinoki Shower and Aēsop Hwyl have a similar profile.
