1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Do you like the smell of resin?

Jul 19, 2014

    1. Yes, I do. I know it isn't the safest thing breathe in, but I still like it.
       
    2. I mean I only have one doll and she doesn't smell like resin..?? People say resin has a chemical odor to it but she just smells like air haha but I think if I did smell resin then I would probably like it

      because im weird
       
    3. No I don't gives me a head ache I like the dolls though.
       
    4. I don't smell anything...
       
    5. I like the smell but usually my dolls don't smell to strong of it when they arrive.
       
    6. I like the smell of resin if I don't have to smell it long times. If I do, I become irritated by it. Not so much that I can say I hate it, but I don't really like it at the times like that.
       
    7. I noticed the smell for the first time today. It's nice.
       
    8. Yes i love the smell of resin :D it smells slightly sweet and for me when i open boxes its like new baby smell
       
    9. I don't really like the smell. My first had me help her with one of her bjds and I nearly choked. I have a sensitive nose and week lungs so when I her to do my first box opening I will probably wear a mask to help cover the scent.
       
    10. No I don't like the smell of resin. All of my dolls came with a company face-up as well so adding that to the mix meant they reeked at first but fortunately the smell calmed down very quickly. Strong smells tend to give me a migraine.
       
    11. I don't mind it, but I don't like it like some others do. I like the sense of newness it adds to a new doll, so I may go "ahh new resin smell!!" in excitement of unboxing, but I am glad when it finally airs out!
       
    12. I actually can't remember it very well, but I don't believe I enjoyed it nor did I hated it. It's just another element of having a new bjd, and that part is exciting in itself.
       
    13. I don't really *like* the smell, but it has so many happy associations that I enjoy it now. If that makes any sense?
       
    14. I absolutely love the smell of resin, so fulfilling :)
       
    15. I love the scent if I don't get to smell it for too long. It mostly appears whenever I open a new doll and then fades very quickly. Sometimes, though, I just open their empty boxes, and sniffle, because they still smell like resin :D orz
       
    16. I feel indifferent to it haha. I can't really smell well most of the time, so when I do get to smell it, it's more like a "hey my nose works again" moment than anything. I try to bathe my dolls as much as possible though to get any possible resin dust and residues off of them though, since it's not the safest thing to inhale.
       
    17. I only have one doll so far, so im not sure if they all smell as nice, but i love the smell of resin. It smells like some kind of perfume. Or like some muffin lady's house.
       
    18. I kinda like it..... But if it is too strong I get nauseous. It is nice because it is related to something new.
       
    19. The smell of resin doesn't bother me because it reminds me of gas or something similar. I don't love the smell though. I don't start sniffing it from the box or take big inhales. One doll I own has a strong odor of resin and I hate it. I am wondering if other people have a doll that never gets rid of its odor and is severely strong. Mine is a dollshe doll from last year.
       
    20. I keep all mine together in an airtight box and it gets strong. I don't really like it.
