Colours and Fragrance of Darjeeling

Surrounded by tea gardens and orchards, the small town of Darjeeling is a place that reminds me of the warm scents of childhood. It is a wonderful place to be lulled by the intense aroma wafting in the air. There is an elegant background music. There is an air of professionalism of the people who work there. The place evokes the passion for the real story and that for the traditions and legends of these lands.

Walking around the curves of the hill roads fetches you bright and vibrant fragrance. There are diverse flowers all around with notes of frangipani announcing a delicate heart of jasmine. The orange flowers suffused with an accent of caramel fades into the enveloping silage. There are the waves of amber and oriental orange trees and star anise, with hints of spice routes. They reveal their charm in a heart that encompasses all facets of more precious and rare incense.

There is the intense and persistent patchouli. There is the multi-faceted scent of cedar. The rose, jasmine and lavender blend with the scent of saffron embroidering a joyful heart. The life of iris, violet, heliotrope, hydrangeas, azaleas, peonies, geraniums, wild roses, and climbers and even pomegranate trees invites you to discover a thing. The shades of the woods are deep, absolute and seductive, with a warm, intriguing and sensual oriental character.

I stand in the midst of the aromas of strong vinous and intense fruity fullness, the color, and the fragrance. The hills change its colors from ruby red to pale green. The finely fragrant scent give delicate hints of cherry and raspberry.
