Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })For Scent-imental Reasons is a 1949 Looney Tunes cartoon starring Pepé Le Pew, directed by Chuck Jones.In this installment the Pepe formula starts to fall into place after some Early Installment Weirdness in previous Pepe shorts. A perfume shop owner is appalled to find Pepe, a skunk, inside his store. He sics a girl cat on Pepe. The cat—named "Penelope" in Warner Brothers lore but not actually named in any of the Pepe shorts—happens to get doused with some white hair dye down her back. Pepe sees her, thinks she's a skunk, and chases after her.This short is notable for a lot of things. This is the first Pepe cartoon to have Pepe paired with a female cat note "Odor-Able Kitty" had him paired with a male cat while "Scent-imental Over You" had him paired with a female chihuahua. This is also the first Pepe cartoon to take place in France, and the first of three (along with 1952's "Little Beau Pepe" and 1959's "Really Scent") to have Pepe Le Pew receive karmic retribution for his actions by being chased in the end, and is the only Pepe cartoon to win an Oscar.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Suicide as Comedy | |
| For Scent-imental Reasons / int_3104d34 | comment |
The scene immediately after that where Pepé rushes to save Penelope, only to have her slip through his fingers. He turns to the camera and says, "Vive l'amour! We die together!" before stepping off the ledge and falling into a can of paint. The ABC version keeps in Pepé's attempt at saving Penelope and his stepping off the ledge and falling into the paint, but shortened "Vive l'amour! We die together!" to "Vive l'amour!"note Cartoon Network coincidentally didn't edit this scene, though the other two examples of Suicide as Comedy were cut. | |

Blatant Lies: Pepe claims that he "missed" when he fired his gun, when it's obvious he was just faking a suicide attempt and fired the gun in a different direction. | |

Abhorrent Admirer: As in all Pepe shorts. Pepe would probably be quite charming if it weren't for the stink. At the end, Penelope becomes this to him. | |

Bowdlerization | |
| For Scent-imental Reasons / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: Most American television versions cut out three Suicide as Comedy scenes: The entire sequence in which Penelope locks herself in a glass case and Pepé tries to get her out, then when Penelope mimes that she won't come out because Pepé stinks, he pulls out a gun and goes to blow his brains out, leaving Penelope so guilt-ridden that she runs out to see if he's okay was cut. The short scene of Pepé assuming that Penelope standing on the window ledge means she's "committing suicide to prove her love to him" (followed by Pepé noting that it's a sweet gesture, but deciding to prevent it).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Art Evolution: Along with standardizing the plot formula, this short was a big step up in the ornateness of the art in Pepe cartoons. | |
