An osmanthus submerged in a cloud of tea

Time stands still over lake Inlé in Burma. Jasmine absolute. Boats like little palaces. Oil of bergamot. Floating gardens and orchards, laden with plants and vegetation, treasure troves of scents and flavours. Osmanthus absolute. The first light of day and the first sounds of a celebration, a farewell to night or a welcome to dawn. Oil of mint. A shimmering lake, a russet sky. Maté absolute. Drifting clouds, radiant lights. Inlé.
