There were times when the sentimental lovers have added a drop of perfume to the letters to each other. Now you won't probably ever see a written letter from a friend: usual ground post is used mostly for bills and notices. But if you send a postcard to your friends and relatives from a holiday, you could add a pleasant smell - the post offices of various countries of the world are already issuing stamps with smells.
A stamp with jasmine smell can be bought in India and in Bhutan - with the rose smell. Brazilian post issues stamps with coffee smell and the Swiss with chocolate fragrance (they are even wrapped into aluminum foil, like real chocolate). Unfortunately, they are not completely out of chocolate - there is nothing to taste except traditional glue.
The most original country was China - they have issued in 2007 in favor of the year of the Pig a post stamp with the smell of pork in the sour-sweet sauce. The design is also distinguished - all the other fragrant stamps are simply illustrating the smell product (jasmine on the jasmine stamp, cup of coffee on the coffee stamp and so on), the Chinese stamp illustrates a nice toy pig that feeds small piglets. |
