Well I am sure you can tell from my previous post I am a bit of a shopper. I enjoy new things and I am a bit of a clothes whore but I suppose there are worse things I could be spending my money on... not that I don't spend money on those as well. I picked up this new Eau de Toilette today. I was out on my scooter and it was cold but clear out and dry so I thought I would do a few errands and visit a few of my favorite shops here in Toronto. One of those shops is Jonathan and Olivia. A relative newcomer to Toronto, this shop carries a nice variety of classic and modern streetwear. I just so happened to stop in on a day where the majority of the store was on sale. Not wanting to waste the opportunity I picked up a nice Engineered Garments shirts in an off black colour and my new scent.

The new scent is Hinoki which was released a few years ago by my favorite magazine, Monocle. It is a collaboration between the magazine and the coveted streetwear and scent brand Comme des Garcons. It was expensive (not one of J and O's items on sale) and the bottle is small but I love it and so I don't really care. The scent has a nice and earthy aroma to it with a lot of cedar and mossy touches to it. According to the little card that came in the box the inspiration "...comes from a perfectly still, slightly chilly spring mourning spent soaking in an indoor/outdoor tub at the Tawaraya in Kyoto."

This is my new scent.
