Fantastic doll that I gave as a gift to my daughter during the holidays. It has a pleasant soft vanilla scent and withstands a lot of wear and tear (especially with her hair). I believe it is one of those gifts that "create" memories for children, as I see my little one always putting it back in its box after every playtime, unlike other toys that she leaves scattered and gets bored of. As she grows up, perhaps this scent will bring back nice memories of playing in her mind.
