Its surface is coated tiny capsules that, once broken, release the fragrance freshly baked bread. The €1.96 stamp depicts a baguette decorated a red, white, and blue ribbon. A shopkeeper the heart of Paris that sells the "scratch-and-sniff" stamp said it had a "bakery smell". The stamp was launched Thursday to celebrate the day the patron saint bakers and pastry chefs. La Poste said it had an initial print run 594,000 copies. It also said French bakers bake more than six billion baguettes every year.
