You know you can't resist opening a bottle of Play-Doh to take in the scent of instant childhood.

To celebrate Play-Doh's 50th birthday, Demeter, the fragrance company that has made its name by making perfumes out of the most unlikely scents will mark this milestone by making a signature, yet limited edition fragrance out of it.

The smell of Play-Doh is so synonymous with nursery school that it's very interesting to learn that it was actually discovered by mistake as scientists were trying to develop wallpaper cleaner. They discovered that their mishap had potential to be a great children's toy and was introduced at the 1956 Toy Fair. Nursery school would never be the same!
