      Yes…wish we saw more scented stamps. Love the chocolate ones they did in France a couple years ago:

    Grief – do they have decongestant properties? – if so, I am also in on the hunt for an Ozzy penpal!

      Yes! Eucalyptus oil is extremely versatile and healing – it is decongestant, anti-bacterial and anti-viral among other things. The Aussies will have some healthy mail!

    To each their own I guess. I’d rather have the French stamps from a year or so ago that smelled like chocolate!!!

    I like this idea! I’ll definitely check them out but makes me think of scratch & sniff stickers.

    I love this idea – no idea France did the same a couple of years ago. These days I pay my bills via the interweb and hardly use stamps at all — but I think our post office is having volume problems these days, it might be a fun thing for the US to do to help improve their stamp sales!
