Autumn has finally arrived, and with it the nostalgia, not to be confused with sadness, that seems to seep into almost everything. This is a time for the smell of wood–smoking chimneys, chestnuts, sweet potatoes dripping their powerful caramelized scent of sweetness and walks redolent of damp earth and humid leaves. It is an endearing time of year where the warming comforts of the home, side-lined over the summer, regain prominence as the place for having fun and the meeting place for friends, an atmosphere radiant with mingled scents and joyful luminosity. All in all, this feel-good setting is perfect for experimenting with fragrances.
