My Little Customs (they sell worldwide but you need to pay over £50 for free delivery) have Merion wool (cornflower looks like a match) for the head and tail (yes the tail is fluffy)I have no clue what she meant to smell like but you could use a bubble bath with your favourite scent.
Well, the original hair is synthetic, but wool roving or brushed acrylic yarn are what people generally use for poofy hair customs. The choice between the two ultimately depends on whether you are comfortable with organic material (wool) or if you prefer synthetic (acrylic).
All the puffies have perfumy soapy flowery type scents. They don't tend in my experience to be as pervasive as some of the sickly sweet scents (I really love this set xD). But I have found with scented ponies that, sometimes, when you have them for a while the scent reappears in the plastic. Maybe when musty attic has faded, you'll start to get a sense of her original scent. It's not for sure though. Just I've found it happen a few times with scented ponies whose scents I thought were totally gone. Especially when they'd been shut away for a while.
I don't have my ponies near at hand so can't check colours for you, but while the puffy hair can fade/discolour, the forelocks don't generally so it's probably a slightly different shade...or a slightly different batch as they come I think from different years? (We didn't have Buttons in the UK and we had puffies a bit later but I think I'm right about that in general...)I think you're right that the scent is in the hair - or at least it holds in the hair the most. So yeah, you might lose it from rehairing her. But I think she definitely needs some help
The reason I checked was more that I know the Sweetberry ponies came out of sequence here a year later than they would have normally been (so US 1988ish, UK 1990). But the batch thing does matter - not just within the same year but also slightly staggered releases. So it's more than possible that a slightly different shade of hair was used...it's just as possible that they have different shades of hair to start with xD. It's pretty hard to tell.

It gives you the chance to decide for yourself! Maybe whatever best matches the fluff you get?
