Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

THE JAPANESE are intent on continuing their world domination of the more discriminating olfactory senses. Yohji Yamamoto is the latest designer due to launch a perfume - in 1996 with backing from Jean Patou Parfums.

With a typically self-deprecating approach, his aim is 'to design a scent for women who don't like perfume'.

It will join the equally ethereal and elusive perfume by Issey Miyake, L'Eau d'Issey, a watery, pale, light and almost-not-there scent and Comme des Garcons' medicinal drug of a perfume called simply Comme des Garcons.
