Want your letters to smell like koalas? Well now they can, at least if you're using Australian postage to send your post. Starting May 17, stamps that smell like aromatic eucalyptus will be available to our Aussie friends.

The stamps aren't old-fashioned scratch and sniff, though. Instead, they're made with Scentprint varnish, which contains microcapsules of eucalyptus designed to maintain their scent as long as people don't burst the bubbles by rubbing the stamps. If your country decided to start printing scented stamps, how do you think they should smell?
