It’s Monday and Watermelon Day. A very happy 94th birthday to Tony Bennett! What fragrance are you wearing?
Probably my favorite Tony Bennett song is a version of Days of Wine and Roses, from the album he made with jazz pianist Bill Evans. That’s a 1962 Mancini / Mercer song for a movie I never saw (and I don’t know who sang it for the movie), and it’s admittedly too sappy to match a perfume to this morning, but I’ve included it below anyway, and since it would go nicely with one of the classic Guerlains, I’ve just updated the feeling a bit with Cologne du 68.
Reminder: 8/7 we’re doing Playlist Friday, again…

I seem to be wearing beach-inspired perfumes (one of my favorite sub-genres!) even more than usual this summer, just because I can’t go to the seashore. I recently tried two more scents that evoke the beach in very different ways, and although neither of them will replace my favorites, they both gave me the sense of a brief olfactory vacation…
