Do you like the smell of resin?

I don't actually like the smell itself, but I do like the warm fuzzy feelings that it gives me because it's associated with the memories of getting new dolls! The smell itself is actually fairly offensive to me and I avoid smelling it when I can. When I remove dolls that have been in their boxes long enough to accumulate a sniffable amount of resin fumes, I'll keep them away from me until they've aired out a little bit.

 

I do. I like strong plastic smells for a reason XD
which is why I was thrilled when I got my hot toys predator. his smells was very strong and after over a year it hasn't changed! (that might be because he is always in his box though ^^; )

 

I'm indifferent. Most of my dolls are secondhand so they didn't arrive to me with the stronger resin scent. I found my Dollshe, one of my few brand-new dolls, to smell a bit strong.

 

I love it. Any kind of new-plastic smell, I love. I snort my dolls. I snort the boxes & the pillows before I put them away in the closet. I snort new wigs. When I was a kid, I snorted my new Barbies' hair for weeks at a time, just gobbling up that smell before it wore off; to this day, I still snort my shower-curtains just after I take them out of the package.

Plastic is one of those polarizing smells, like gasoline. People adore it, people can't stand it, but nobody seems to feel halfway about it.

 

I do not like it at all. xD
Like you said JennyNemesis, I can't stand it! I'm not in between!

It's a very strong smell for me, and it's like an aggression when it comes to my nose. lol I can bear with it, but it's not something I appreciate to smell. ^-^

 

I hate any and all smells, they really bother me
but the smell of resin is not strong enough (even for my sensitive sense of smell) to bother me at all

 

I love it, you can't beat that blast of resin smell as you open the box for the first time, to reveal the doll! Bliss

 

The smell of resin kind of refreshing in small increments but it can be over powering. I love the little bit of resin smell that comes off of my dolls when I hold them.

I hate putting the lids all the way down on my dolls' boxes because I know when I open them up again that the smell will take over the room.

 

It always throws me off when someone is tiling their roof. I get really excited then sad

 

I don't mind it but it makes me feel sick if it's too strong, when I cast anything in resin it always makes me feels sick but my dolls don't smell very strong so they're fine.

 

Isn't it dangerous and toxic? I don't really like it.

 

There's no poll option for I LOVE THE SMELL OF RESIN. I'm sure someone else has already pointed this out. I actually keep the door to the room where my dolls live shut so I can preserve the vinyl-y, resin-y toxic-y smell.

I know it's bad for me...but I love it!

 

I've started liking the smell from this doll hobby xD I am reminded of BJDs when I smell reisin. Same goes for synthetic fibre wigs but the same logic doesn't seem to apply universally since I'm really averse to the smell of new cars for some reasons :/

 

When I open a new doll, the new resin smell does make me more excited because of the associations I have with it, but I don't like the smell in and of itself, and I don't actively seek it out. I associate it with the box opening experience, not with owning a BJD in general.

Any smells that are very strong tend to bother my nose, so I won't try to keep or collect the smell in any way. I am also extremely averse to the new car smell, probably because I'm not really a car enthusiast; to me, cars are almost purely utilitarian.

 

I like it in the sense that "OMG I JUST RECEIVED MY DOLLY! IT SMELLS LIKE EPICNESS!" but if can avoid smelling it after that then that would be great haha

 

I love the smell of new resin. But I've only encountered it with Fairyland. I think I'll always love it since it will remind me of when I received my first BJD

 

I LOOOVVVEEE the smell of resin oh my god I agree that the first whiff can be very overpowering but I love it regardless! I sometimes smell my doll just because it brings back good memories of box openings hehe ;D

 

Exactly! I hadn't even thought of it untill now!

 

I ADORE the smell of resin! One of the BEST parts of getting a new doll, besides, of course, getting the doll XD But yes, it's wonderful, I wish it didn't fade away so easily

 

...I didn't notice ANY smell with either of my dolls when they were new. I'm told my sense of smell is uncanny.. I really didn't smell anything... I do however love the smell of this lemon scented soap... I washed my Pixiu with it between attempts to remove this stupid, STUPID paint job. Probably 90% complete. -gonna finish it tomorrow..- I was a stupid noob when I put this crap on his resin... Anyhow I'm thinking he's going to smell like lemon for a loong time... parts I washed last week still smell lemony. XD rant..
