My comment:

fumants refers to both since it is in the plural, unless a mistake

Josephine Cassar's translation omits the words "mêlée" and "fumants". The recipe of the fondue combines various cheeses and white wine; and the mixture must be kept hot thanks to a spirit stove. I suggest: the mingled smell(s) of steaming hot cheese and white wine filled his nostrils.

I omitted them as she did not ask for them, fondue is easily found too, so need to explain, not kept hot either but melted (butter in this case as you can have other ingredients-chocolate, meat)
