In the original 'Pinocchio,' Gepetto worked very hard for long stretches at a time -- sometimes weeks -- without bathing. As a tribute to the original story, Smellitzers' are being used to simulate -- B.O. It's all part of the storytelling process.

Or it's may be a musty, shut-in, non-air circulating, grandmotherly scent. Either way, I sense a letter coming on, and a chance for some free stuff.
