Does anyone really like those? I just got my Esme by Laura and there was one in the box. When I opened the box my first thought was "ewww, she smells":x . Then I saw the wafer and immediately tossed it. Now the kit is getting washed really, really good to take out the smell. Perhaps it would work to put a sprinkle of baby powder in the body when its being assembled if the scent is wanted, but in my own personal opinion those wafers are horrid.
Now I'll get off my soapbox
I am sensitive to smells too, and prefer NO smells on my dolls. I did have a baby that had a tiny square of this wafer in her diaper, and that didn't bother me, but some are really overpowering
I have pretty bad asthma, and generally sented things (like candles) set me off. I bought a cheap reborn last year, and the wafer she had in her was horridly strong. My Ashton Drake silicone doll has a pretty potent, nasty smell. I cut the wafer in 6 little squares and put them in different parts in her body. For whatever reason, doing it that way makes her smell really nice, but not overpowering at all. I don't know if it would have the same effect in a reborn...I'm going to try here soon!
ewww no yuk
they stink up the house for days if one arrives with a purchased doll
they smell very chemically to me and horrible
yet I have the baby powder scented oil and that smells totally different
I have a lot of allergies but if I use the sheets and also the liquid in moderation they smell great on a baby. I add just a tad of the liquid to my babies before I ship them out. Smell don't last though.
Me too! LOVE THEM ACTUALLY! I found myself going back to the box and smelling it several times! My husband asked me one time .... What in the hell was I doing? lol.....I am sure I looked pretty crazy snuffing the inside of a box, I explained that the inside of the box smelled just like a baby....I am sure he added that incident to his long running list of why he needs to put me away! lol

How do you make it? and where do you apply it on the baby?

I don't apply it to the doll. I use what are called "air feshener blanks" they are basically those cardboard type things like the smelly trees are made of but just rectangles, I then pull those apart into 4 layers, and brush on baby powder scented fragrance oil to both sides of the 4 layers(I use the oil to make my cold process soap too)then I let it sit for bit and last I brush both sides with cornstarch so its not to oily. I then cut them into fours and place inside my babies or storage drawers etc.
I am allergic to them. And I think it is a bad idea to put them in a doll you are selling. At least ask the person first. I had a doll that I had to take apart and wash the body and the vinyl and the smell still did not come out. I could not hold that baby. She was a gift and I had to give her back.
I know what you mean, I have multiple allergies so that's why I couldn't do more than pieces. I do ask potential mommies about baby scent and magnets and 98% always say yes! The way that I do mine is the scented little squares are enclosed in fiber-fill and towards the middle of the body. You get a hint of baby scent and not a knock down scent. Also with the tiny pieces the scent doesn't stay forever so I guess I've done ok, no complaints as yet
