French transport officials Friday unveiled "Madeleine," a perfume aimed at transforming the stink of the Paris underground railway network. Every month, one-and-a-half tons of the fragrance will be added to the system's cleaning products to overpower the existing smells of decaying bacteria, human sweat, urine, vomit, ozone, burning rubber, and toasted wood. The scent will spread flowery notes of "countryside, woods, flowers, and fruit" throughout the stations, officials said.
