Scented Postage Stamps

Surprisingly common. Does anyone have any of these?

If they lose their smell, do they cost less to buy?

What scent would you like to uh... see, if the USPS made an odorous stamp? Any ideas?

Nice article, thanks for posting it!


Redo the USA (or any country's) motorcycle stamps with the scent of saddle leather!

Or, saddled horses too would smell good.


When I visit places it is always good to remember the smells of food and local scents and odors, like flowers or other things. Similar to sounds and visual cues these trigger an emotional response and memory. Adds to the depth (ahem) of stamp collecting.

Maybe the U.S. would come out with another set of comics stamps. Then the Little Abner stamp could have a picture of Lonesome Polecat and Big Barnsmell, and...no, on second thought that wouldn't work...

I thought I searched every possible smell word! although it was only in the "subject" category.

Finnish post has put out quite a many of these... A sauna stamp that is supposed to smell like fresh birch whip.All I ever smelled was ink ;) Then a Christmas stamp that was supposed to smell like fresh made cookies... Again, all I ever caught was odor of ink ;)

The Brazil coffee stamp... I don't get anything from it except paper. But it's been soaked at least twice. So maybe it's all squeezed out, LOL.

That said, I've got the scented Indian Jasmine flower stamp too... Soaked once, and it keeps the entire stock book 'fresh'.

I'd like lilac.
