rhythm of colours/rhythm of aromas

I know it sounds obvious, but it seems the best to me since Moroccan tile designs are based on highly repetitive and precise geometric patterns, which is not the case with 'patchwork/swirls, etc.' Since the author uses the same word in both cases, presumably intends to convey the same idea about aromas.
Peer comment(s):

agree Ana Rita Santiago : I'd keep the literal translation. The author might have wanted to relate the visual and olfactory impressions to music, hence the synesthesia.
