Robert mailer Anderson is a 35-year-old San Francisco novelist who reserves Box G at the San Francisco Opera every season for himself and eight of his closest buddies. “Last Christmas, Anderson bought his crew tuxedos to wear on their nights at the Opera House, but he still felt they were missing a certain je ne sais quoi.” So he had a parfumier mix a special scent for the occasion. “To top it all off, the San Francisco Opera gift shop decided to sell the scent (for $120), named, appropriately enough, Box G.”
