Do your scented ponies still have their scent?

Do your scented ponies still have their scent (all gens) ?
I've read from a MIB seller (G3) that the ponies they own don't have their scents anymore, or barely. On another hand, I have loose Coconut Grove and Tangerine Sunset, who went through a fire and an ozone treatment and being locked inside a toy box for over 10 years...and they STILL smell like coconut and orange.
What about G1, too? Did they loose their scent? I'm curious!

I don't think any of mine do, but I don't have them in any container, just out on the shelf. And all of mine are second-hand. I wonder if some time-out will bring some smell back?

[LadyMoondancer]

For most of them, nope!  Especially not G1s.  Time . . .

[Khayman81]

The scented G1 I have which are second hand still have their scent. Some more than others. But you can tell.

Most of mine do. I had to sell Coconut Grove because I couldn't stand it any more :/ I will get one one day when I find one who has lost her scent.

My Peppermint Crunch came to me as a chain smoker. She was a carboot find and she stank of cigarettes. Now she doesn't smell of that any more, as 20+ years have passed, but she doesn't really have much of her proper scent left. She maybe smells faintly of toothpaste? Is that normal or has she just switched her habit to tooth cleaning products behind my back?

The worst are Chocolate Chip (Coco Berry) and Butter Kiss (Swirly Whirly). Mostly the first of those. I don't know how to describe it. It's just bad. Butter Kiss smells to me like rotten apples mixed with that kind of cheap air freshener you get in changing rooms at schools or in public toilets xD. Of the rest of that set, my Sorbet Surprise (Sherbet) still smells but she is coconutty and it isn't too bad.

I think my Sweetberries have lost scent the most, except my childhood Cherry Treats who is not as strong as she was when I first had her but still scented. I have HK and China versions on a couple and neither one still smells. But my HK Cherry Treats and my childhood China ones both still smell...so maybe it's specific to the ponies concerned. I think the only other still scented Sweetberry I have is Strawberry Surprise...

I love the Perfume Puffs. I think all mine have scent still but it mostly is in their hair rather than their bodies.

All the scented G3 I have are still very scented. Though I parted with many of them...for that reason.

Also, I have learned that shutting them away in a confined space is not great if you want them to lose the scent. I once had a box of ponies shipped from the US with Butter Kiss in it. Oh boy, the smell when I opened the box *dies*

Yep, most of them do. I can't be sure which ones and I can't access them right now but yes, most of them still smell lovely!

I have a Majesty that is the brownest, mankiest, nastiest looking pony ever but I keep her because she smells like a fresh-off-the-card G1.  She's hidden behind some risers so I can enjoy her stank without seeing her.

My Perfume Puffs smell like old lady perfume.

What's second hand? 

[LadyMoondancer]

Secondhand means you picked it up 'used', like at a garage sale or a thrift store.

[tailrustedtealeaf]

^ Yep! And I just got home and gave my G1s a sniff. I detect no smell on Banana Surprise, but my Raspberry Jam has a slight sweet scent to her. It's kind of nice, but if it were any stronger I think I'd be very opposed.

[TheBeatlesPkmnFan42]

My Coconut Grove still has hers, though it's definitely not as strong as it was when I first thrifted her back in 2011/2012. But it's still there. Caramel Crunch still has hers, again not as strong as it was when I got her, but it's still pretty noticeable if you put her up to your nose. The rest of mine, both G1 and G3, no longer have theirs, just those two.

Yep, purchasing it from someone else, too. Basically anything where someone else owned it before you did!

I have 2 Peppermint Crunches that smell faintly minty. Other than that, my other scented G1s just smell sweet.

[lovesbabysquirmy]

yes, sometimes they do.  it is faint

[Marlin]

One whiff of my childhood Peppermint Crunch and Cocoberry and I am right back playing with them as a kid again. Their smell is remarkably strong and exactly as I remember them.

Other scented G1s in my collection are mixed - most have their scent, but some are fainter than others. My perfume puffs all smell divine. I could bury my nose in them and stay there all day, lol! 

[toyjunky]

Mine still smell. The G3's both pre-loved and new, although the new smell the strongest. My G1 Swirly Whirly I acquired pre-loved last year from a collectible shop and it also smells.
