French post office release bakery scented stamp

The French Post Office has released a bakery-scented postage stamp to celebrate the baguette.

Nearly 600,000 scratch-and-sniff stamps have gone on sale in France, with each stamp costing €1.96.

The stamps were launched on Thursday, which was the day of Saint-Honoré, the patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs, and went on sale on Friday morning.

The ink on the stamp contains microcapsules, which make the stamp smell when scratched.
