What Scent Would A “New Jersey” Scratch-n-Sniff Stamp Smell Like?
We hit this question on the WRAT Facebook page this week and were highly entertained by the answers. The question came out of a No Sweat News story that had to do with, “scratch-n-sniff stamps”. What would a New Jersey stamp that was scratch-n-sniff stamp smell like?
The reason we asked the question is because of a No Sweat News story about the postal service in France. They came out with a scatch-n-sniff stamp recently. It’s the first scratch-n-sniff stamp we’d ever heard about. The French postal service needed to choose a smell for the scratch-n-sniff stamp to reflect. The idea was to choose something that was very, very French.

The postal authorities chose the smell of a freshly baked baguette for their French scratch-n-sniff stamp. The baguette is so authentically French, so uniquely connected to French culture that the idea sounded fun (and delicious, lol).
But it got us to thinking: What would a New Jersey stamp that was a scratch-n-sniff stamp actually smell like?
