Scent-imental Romeo is a 1951 Merrie Melodies short directed by Chuck Jones.
== Title ==
The title is a pun on the word "sentimental."
== Plot ==
A hungry Penelope Pussycat disguises herself as a skunk, so she can be fed at the zoo, but Pepé of course thinks she's the real thing, and uses his Maurice Chevalier impression, in an attempt to win her over.

== Quotes ==
* "What is the meaning of this, Monsieur? You shall hear from my second." - Pepé Le Pew
== Censorship ==
* When this cartoon was shown on ABC's The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show, the part where Penelope bashes Pepe on the head with a club (though not a previous scene where she hits him with a mallet) was shortened from three times to one.http://www.intanibase.com/gac/looneytunes/censored-s.aspx
* When Cartoon Network (American; overseas Cartoon Network channels have aired this uncut) aired this short, the entire part where Pepe opens a bottle of champagne and tries to serve it to Penelope was cut. This edit is rather odd and a tad ironic, considering that Cartoon Network aired "The Cats Bah"'s beginning, which also had Pepe opening a bottle of champagne, uncut and uncensored while ABC, which left in the champagne part in this cartoon, edited the beginning of "The Cats Bah" because it showed champagne. The edited version also airs on the American feed of Boomerang while overseas Boomerang channels have aired this uncut. Despite Cartoon Network's and Boomerang's American channels deleting this scene, a short clip of it appears in the Cartoon Network Groovies music video "L'Amour A Une Odeur" (located at the 0:58 mark)
== Notes ==
* This cartoon marks Pepé Le Pew's first appearance in the Merrie Melodies series, after having remained exclusive to the Looney Tunes series throughout the 1940s.
* This is also Pepe's first cartoon made during the 1950s.
