Technically, your grandfather's "underwear drawer" would smell clean,
since that would be the place to store clean underwear, not underwear ready for laundry, which would no doubt be in a laundry bag.

Mad...
Our attic smelled like an old forest. It was creepy and dark. The only lightbulb was in the middle of the room and you had to wander into the darkness to find the dangling ball chain that turned it on. And it was filled with so much crap that to this day, there are places in the back corners no one has seen...
thanks for the memories :).

Well, Enigmatic, I was always able to differentiate the one in "Young Frankenstein" (memorably played by the late Peter Boyle) from the others, at least.
So that's got to be worth something, right there.
