Brazil's Coffee-Scented Stamp.

The Brazilian postal authorities certainly redeemed themselves from the burnt wood smells of their previous scented stamp issue when they released one honoring coffee. The stamp was scented with the aroma of coffee.Coffee is one of Brazil's largest exports and Brazil accounts for much of the world's supply of coffee beans. The coffee industry is a huge industry for the country. As a way to celebrate this industry, this special stamp was issued so that all can smell the fragrance of Brazil's gift to caffeine junkies everywhere.

Bhutan's Rose-Scented Stamps.

The tiny nation of Bhutan, located between India and China, is a economically underdeveloped nation. Surprisingly, the country's lack of money does not translate into misery, though, as they are time and again judged to be among the happiest people in the world by unbiased sources, such as the United Nations. The people of Bhutan are very content, and its a safe bet that the nation's postal system only adds to their happiness by the fun variety of stamps that they offer.In 1973, Bhutan's postal authorities released the world's first-ever scented stamps. The 6-stamp series depicted beautiful roses and each stamp was perfumed to smell like a rose. During the production of the stamps, the underlying paper had been scented with rose essence, leading to the stamps smelling like the depicted roses.Since Bhutan's aromatic stamp, numerous other countries have issued flower-scented stamps. In fact, of all of the stamps issued with scents, flowers-scented stamps are the predominant type.
