contents The Schwarzschild-Melvin spacetime is an exact solution of the Einstein electrovacuum equations describing a black hole immersed in a magnetic field which is asymptotically aligned with the z-axis. It plays an important role in our understanding of the interplay between geometry and matter, and is often used as a proxy for astrophysical environments. Here, we construct the scalar counterpart to the Schwarzschild-Melvin spacetime: a non-asymptotically flat black hole geometry with an everywhere regular scalar field whose gradient is asymptotically aligned with the z-axis.
