How do they make scratch ‘n sniff pages in magazines?

I’m talking about the advertisements you find in magazines usually for a perfume or something. Do they mass print pages with perfume on them? Do they spray them individually after? How does it work that when you scratch it the odour comes off?

It seems to be a rather complicated process, but basically, scented oil is encapsulated inside microscopic containers. This paste is smeared on a piece of paper and dried. When scratched, the containers break and the smell is let loose.
