BRUTUS Magazine BRUTUS Special Edition – If You Could Read Scents (Magazine House Mook)

Coffee Table Mags pick

For Japan lovers — fragrance, literature and Japanese magazine culture in an unusually poetic BRUTUS special.

BRUTUS Special Edition – If You Could Read Scents is a Japanese-language mook about fragrance, memory and the language of scent.

JAPANESE LANGUAGE ONLY

Created in partnership with Aesop, it marks the first time BRUTUS has dedicated an entire publication to smell — asking how fragrance can be conveyed through words when a magazine page itself cannot carry a scent. With essays, poetry, tanka, diaries, fables and conversations by writers, poets and philosophers, this is a beautifully unusual BRUTUS special for readers interested in perfume, literature, Japanese publishing and sensory culture.
