If you live in France or are traveling there for vacation, you can now mail your friends an authentic French fragrance overseas. The country has revealed a new baguette stamp that smells like a bakery.
The stamp costs $2.13 U.S. dollars and can be used on international letters. It features a drawing of a baguette that smells as good as it looks – because it's a scratch-and-sniff sticker.
The classic French bread loaf "embodies a ritual, that of going to your bakery, a local business anchored in the regions, attracting twelve million consumers every day," France's postal service La Poste said.
