There is something to be said for the onset of winter. As the days draw in and the temperature plunges below freezing, there is a real sense of melancholy in the air. I often enjoy strolling outdoors at that time of year, taking in the smells of the neighbourhood and being a part of a bleak landscape painted in hues of pallid grey and midnight blue. But if the rain begins, or the wind picks up, I'll often pull my coat tight around my body, bury my nose under my collar and head for home. The allure of warm orange hues and the welcoming aroma of a hot meal blazing in the oven, will always win out over wet shoes and a dripping nose. There is something incredibly comforting and familiar about the smell of food when stepping in from the cold.

Many of the Hermessence fragrances each have a culinary quality (eg: the mildly spiced Paprika Basil, the anise-inspired Brin de Réglisse), but Ambre Narguile is by far the most paralyzing... it will soothe and narcotize with its deeply addictive bouquet.
The Hermessence line can only be purchased exclusively at Hermés boutiques the world over.

Great writing, mate.
I love this piece! I, too, am longing for cooler weather when I can sit in front of the fireplace and wear cozy fragrances like Ambre Narguile. I always get like this at the end of the summer. Next! I'm ready for fall/winter.
I enjoy your blog. I'm linking it on my favorite blog list.
