24. The perfumes of Kashmir

We are working immersed in perfumes. The mountains of Kashmir are full of flowers and aromatic plants which make the air that we breathe fragrant with so much joy.

Fayaz has roses growing all around his place.

Fayaz has planted orange trees, grapefruit and lemon trees, they are all blooming and their perfume makes us euphoric.

The acacia trees are in full bloom as well.

There are some perfumed plants that release their perfume when the sun heats them, like the Kashmiri tagetes.

The Bhang grows everywhere and its perfume is the more characteristic of Kashmir because it lasts from spring to autumn.

Carpets of mint produce intense fragrances when they are trodden on.

But for me the most beautiful flowers of this mountain are Aline and her friends, their perfume is the joy that springs from their laughter
