Scents of the orient
One of my favourite home fragrance brands is Cochine Saigon, a company whose scents are entirely inspired by Vietnam. The scent I love most is its Vanille & Tabac Noir - it has notes of vanilla bean and hint of patchouli, cardamom, nutmeg and basil but what ties it most with Vietnam are the sensual tone of tobacco flower. This autumn, it launches a four-wick, hand-made, silver glass container with 130 hours burn time - perfect for chilly winter nights, £195. harrods.com
