Play-Doh Grows Up *

May 15th, 2006 · Move over Chanel No. 5! Now there's Eau de Play-Doh. That's right, it's a perfume that smells like Play-Doh. Toy-maker Hasbro is celebrating the modeling clay's 50th anniversary with the scent. A spokesman claims Play-Doh's smell is one of the most enduring memories. Hasbro figures smelling the perfume will transport people back to their childhood. It sells for $19 a bottle. Look for it at fine stores everywhere.
