In a recent email, aunt Meg recommended that I open the drawers of grandpa's desk and take one deep smell, as she did as a kid, and as she still does when she visits. It was such a good idea that i simply must share it here. Even if you don't manage to come here to see grandpa's desk, smell any desk you find, just in case it smells anything like this one. Rich smoke and rubber and pencil shavings. "Academia" eau de parfum.
