Scratch and sniff technology generally refers to things that have been treated with a microfragrance coating. When scratched, the coating releases an odor that is normally related to an image being displayed under the coating. The technology has been used on a variety of surfaces from stickers to compact discs.
Stickers became common in the late 1970s, and grew into big business for several companies throughout the early and mid-1980s. As the technology evolved to an "acid-free" design (commonly recognizable by the glossy appearance of the sticker surface, as opposed to the older, more matte appearance) the sticker craze seemed to come to a close. Today, scratch and sniff stickers, in particular the older "matte" stickers, are highly collectible and sought after by collectors.
Auctions for original vintage packaged stickers have seen bids go in to the multiple hundreds of dollars on eBay.

When I was a kid, I used to like the scratch and sniff martini inserts that came in my parents' news magazines. I guess I like the smell of gin, which is the smell of juniper berries.
