Most my perfume reviews (back in the days where I found this interesting to do) linked perfumes to tunes. In some cases, smelling the fragrance made me hear the music. Also there are 3 fragrances that I created that had a song in the brief and the perfumer was obliged to study them and listen to them while mixing material to create the perfumes.
BTW I like your idea better than the other experiments...
I will tell you something strange. After Mona di Orio passed away they released a fragrance that I was gifted. I wrote a review and to me that perfume evoked the song Avalon from Roxy Music. Mona's business partner and best friend called me and in tears he told me that this fragrances she had created for him and only him. He decided to share with others. The thing is, their song , the one they both loved the most was Avalon and she created this fragrance after they went to a Roxy Music concert! At that time he thought I could connect to her in some magical way... I had a perfect logical explanation about the relationship of the fragrance and song. It was the aura. The perfume " sang" to me.
What a great story . . . completely in synch with the spacy, timeless, nostalgic feel of the song. And of the entire Avalon album for that matter. I loved it back then and it holds up fine today. Went back to it recently after watching Bill Murray doing karaoke to "More Than This" in Lost In Translation. Another song with a floating wistfulness to it. Bryan Ferry has the perfect delivery for these tunes--heartfelt but not emo.
