The World's Smelliest Postage Stamps

There have been many attempts to improve the revenue-generating power of the postage stamp. In the last 35 years, there has been a growing number of scented stamps being issued. From the first smelly stamp through to the most current olfactory offering, the use of scented stamps are a novelty that are becoming more and more prevalent.

A rose-scented stamp? Yes. I can also live with a stamp smelling like jasmine or sandalwood. But how about a sweet-and-sour-pork-scented stamp? Here is a list of some of the more notorious scented postage stamps available for collectors. Every stamp is valid postage in the country it was issued.
