When you think of a cold winter's night you think of cold air, the scent of evergreen and a waft of someone's fireplace or wood stove. If you are lucky enough to be around a Christmas market and can experience the smell of roasted chestnuts, candy, spices, winter fruits and hot chocolate, those festive scents just add to the ambiance. And when it's night time the smell of creamy coffee, roasted peanuts, pine nuts and pumpkin seeds are just perfect to freeze all the moments in memory. In places where it snows, winters are often described as white and frosty and to make the picture more vivid is the smell of trees covered with snow and of wet wood, soft and green accords wafting from the leaves. The outdoors are covered in snow and all things are frozen solid.
