I was just speculating what they may of smelled like? Like the sweetberry ponies and the ice cream ponies. Does anyone have a clue what they all smelled like? I once had peppermint crunch and she did smell like peppermint. I have a raspberry Jam she smells like raspberries.
-
A couple of my ponies from both sets still smell. However I don't think they smell like ice cream or the fruit they're themed after...
It's its own scent really. I like it but it's impossible to describe.
-
The only "smelly" (haha) pony I ever got as a child was Boysenberry Pie. Her scent was a strong sweet berry kind of smell. I've never smelled or tasted a boysenberry but I'm guessing it was true to the fruit smell? Her scent didn't last but like a decade. I had a gotten another BP in a lot about 10 years ago that had turned gray purple and she still has a slight scent to her. It kinda smelled good.. lol. I'm scared of getting any scented pony nowadays for fear of the scent making me sick. The Strawberry Shortcake dolls and minis carry their scent pretty well after all these years and fortunately their scents don't cause any adverse reactions for me.
-
I had Raspberry Jam and Blueberry Baskets in my childhood herd. Even though I haven't owned either in 20+ years, I can still remember their wonderful scents. They're really hard to put into words though.

This. My childhood Cocoberry still has her scent, but it's hard to describe really.
-
My only scented pony was Coco Berry. She smelled but I don't remember her smelling like ice cream?

Yes, it's very hard to describe! I had Cherry Treats when I was little, and I still remember her scent very strongly. But she didn't smell like cherries, it's like Sapphire Rain says, they really have their own scent. :)
I also remember having a Raspberry Jam in my hands at a thrift shop. Her scent did resemble raspberries, but not for 100%.
-

I don't know about when she was new, but to me every Cherry Treats I come across smells like play doh :lol:
-
I have a Sugar Apple from my childhood collection. She still smells! Sometimes I pop her in a ziplock bag to concentrate the scent. (I heard this helps recharge the scent of ponies.)
As to her smell, sugary fake candy berry is how I'd describe it. One time a friend in high school had shampoo that smelled similar! But the scent is not at all Apple-y.
Are scented ponies that still smell worth more? How does one find one who still has her scent? Do you need to use a special method to clean them to preserve their smell? I know sometimes ponies I clean wind up smelling like the soup I used.
I'd love to have one of the mint scented ones.
-
I didn't grow up with any scented ponies but I have a few now. The scents are really hard to put a name to! They just smell good :)
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried re-scenting ponies, either trying to replenish the scent or making a custom? i've seen the scents available on Dollyhair but have never been game to have a go!
-
I had Cherry Treats and Lemon Treats as a child and they both smelled lovely!! I particularly loved Lemon Treat's fresh, zesty smell- she definitely smelled like lemons. Probably lemon sherbert.
-
I've never put my nose into a tub of actual molasses, but to me Molasses the pony smelled a bit gingery?
-
My Sundae Best ponies smell like vanilla ice cream. It is a faint sort of scent, sweet, a little hard to put a name to but that is the closest I can come to it. Or maybe like cupcake icing. Sweet but not a specific scent like "Strawberry".
-
I remember going to the supermarket to drool over the scented ones, sniffing the packages and putting them back on the shelf with a sigh, as i couldn't afford them.
One smelled like caramel.
I think it was Caramel Crunch.
The ice cream ones had sugary smells, i remember as well.
-
I want to make a case for Chocolate Chip (aka Coco Berry in the US) being classified as a toxic entity highly dangerous for anyone who inhales her scent. It is horrible. So sickly and sweet. I swear, I almost left her at the carboot sale because of it - but I couldn't. I since got the German release one with the purple hair, too - and she's the same. It's horrrible. Really horrible.
(I also have very sensitive sense of smell, though, which may add to it).
Cherry Treats from my childhood still smells, she always smelled very strong and sickly. Maybe glace cherries rather than cherries proper? My Dad called her stink bomb. I wasn't allowed any other scented ponies as a kid after her because she stank so much xD. Many of my childhood ponies have a lingering aura of Cherry Treats about them, even now! But I could put up with her sickly sweet. Chocolate Chip is another entity completely.
The only one of the sweet scented ponies who I still have scented that I like is Sorbet Surprise (aka Sherbet). She smells not a lot like grapes, but I like her smell all the same.
I love the Perfume Puff ponies' scents, though. They all smell so flowery. Except one of them, I forget which, smells like washing powder. Maybe it's Sweet Suds. I guess that would make sense...
@Daisyd - well, over here Molasses was (mostly) called Gingerbread. Her symbol is a gingerbread man, too, so that makes sense.
-
:lol: lol- that's the opposite of me Taffeta! I really didn't like the Perfume Puff smells (and the Perfume Puff Palace atomiser-thingy), but I really liked the others, including Chocolate Chip! Though she didn't smell as good as Lemon Treats, who, if I was any younger at the time, I would have probably tried to eat!!

Yeah, I used to not have a 'bloodhound' nose, but had a bad pesticide exposure two years ago that left me with a mild form of MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity).. I'm getting better but, still have it, and am wondering if I will ever be back to "normal." I'm really surprised the SSC dolls don't make me sick, it says on their cards and boxes their scents are "non toxic" so I betcha they used some really good stuff! -- Have you ever smelled or had any of the Candy Cane ponies? What do they smell like?
-

As i said up there, Caramel Crunch was my favourite. Such a strong caramel scent!
And The one with mint also really smelled strongly of mint.
-

I have all of them, but I'm not sure if they all still smell. Some are confined to a carry case at the bottom of my cupboard because they're smelly. They're with the Rainbow Curls, though. God only knows how badly they smell now. My Sugar Sweet is trapped in her box, so that's a great filter xD.
My Mint Dreams smells of toothpaste and lavender. It's somewhere between the two. It's not lavendery enough to be really called that, but it's what you'd get if you put lavender in a toothpaste mix and sold it. I dunno if that's her original smell or not, though.
My Lemon Treats...I can't remember if she smells or not, still. If so, it's probably only light.
I remember Sugar Apple being quite sickly sweet. Not in Chocolate Chip's range, but pretty nauseating. I'm not sure about Caramel Crunch. I think she was a bit better. And Gingerbread/Molasses smells kinda gingery, as Daisyd said.
...Did I miss anyone?
-
My coco berry still smells she smells like powder and sugar...like a perfumey sweet.
-
Does ice cream really have a scent? I've never smelled anything from ice cream. Am I the only one?

I couldn't tell ya if you missed anyone...That's one set of ponies that I'm not sure of their names! :blush: ^.^
Would you say they smelled like the vintage Strawberry Shortcake dolls in terms in strength and smell? (if you are familiar with SSC, I'm opening this question up to others to share their thoughts!)
I'm just leery of getting one or two that still smell and then not being able to enjoy them! >_<
-
I didn't even know there were so many scented G1s! I knew the Sundae Best ponies were scented as I have Cocoberry (love her scent! :P). Despite the clue in the name I didn't know the perfume puffs were scented! My Red Roses and my Boysenberry Pie have lost their scents :(
Were any other sets/ponies scented too? Not G1 but I adore coconut scented G3s. ^.^
-
oops double post.
-
I had a peppermint crunch...it's really, really, really hard to describe the scent, I mean, it wasn't entirely 'peppermint' but there was like some vanilla-ly hint to it that wasn't entirely natural, but DANG if it didn't smell awesome. I'm trying to think of something else that smelled similar and I'm drawing a blank, but there was something else I had that smelled really similar. I might be thinking of 'sugar sweet' actually, I remember caramel crunch was like...sugar drenched popcorn or something.
I mean, obviously nothing about these smells was natural but dang, if Hasbro didn't do an awesome job of making them memorable...
I always confuse 'cherry treats' scent with cranberries as...well I swear her scent was closer to cranberry than cherry.
-
@Daisyd - well, over here Molasses was (mostly) called Gingerbread. Her symbol is a gingerbread man, too, so that makes sense.
Of course....I had forgotten about that.
I always had this thing about not having two ponies use the same name. No idea why, I just didn't, so if there was an alternative name for one of the two, I would use that instead. When I found out that Molasses was the US name, I used that so I didn't have two Gingerbreads :biggrin:
-
Were any other sets/ponies scented too? Not G1 but I adore coconut scented G3s. ^.^
I belive there were a short line of G3s that were scented like best friend ponies :
Butter Pop
Chocolate Chipper
Paradise Island
Party Cake
Pretty Pop
Soda Float
Strawberry Surprise
and I have them all :D
-
Ah yes. The Tangerine whatever her name is G3's scent still haunts my other cupboard, even now.
Unfortunately (or fortunately?) all my Peppermint Crunch has ever smelt of is the cigarette smoke of her original home :( I think Sorbet Surprise/Sherbet's smell may just be coconutty. I knew it reminded me of something.
I am not familiar with SSC, Sweet Stuff - so can't help you there. Someone else maybe can though?
-

Can't believe I missed this initially *chuckles* I actually collect SSC dolls, too...and their smells are quite different, as well the strength is MUCH MORE powerful. I mean, buy a couple of the mini's, you'll see what I mean, 30 years later they STILL smell just as strong. Even ones that've been heavily played with, it's insane. Kenner actually 'baked' the scent into the plastic, or mixed it in with it rather, which is why their dolls and miniatures retain so much of their smell now. I'm not sure why they're so different but I've not had any SSC dolls that remind me of the vintage pony scents.

My strawberry surprise (sweet berry pony) smells just like a strawberry shortcake doll!

That's very helpful, thanks! I love how SSC dolls / minis smell! Their scents are so dreamy and match pretty well. :D I guess scented ponies are a no go for me, unless they don't smell anymore.. XD. Either that, or I just get brave one day and smell a still smelling one. :lol:
Does anyone know if the scented ponies' boxes say their scents are "non toxic"? If they are that "memorable" maybe it's not considered "natural".. ?

Only one I have that has any scent left is Carmel crunch, and I'm not entirely sure if it's the original scent or just a weird plastic combination (I've had regular plastic things that've smelled similar...iunno) :lol:
The ponies cards don't mention anything about being toxic or not (though I might have overlooked it, anybody feel free to correct me here!)the boxes for SSC DO say they're scented, and that they're 'non-toxic'...I'd certainly hope not as it's hard to resist sniffing those every so often.
oh, unfortunately I've never had the strawberry scented pony so, didn't think of her, so I imagine she'd be similar! :silly:
-
I have a few of the Sundae Best ponies, plus Strawberry Surprise and Molasses.
The scent they remind me closest of is those vintage scratch and sniff stickers. Especially Coco Berry. Kind of sweet, vanilla-lite but not true vanilla. My Blueberry Baskets and Strawberry Surprise did smell similar to the SSC dolls.
-
Interesting! ^.^
I loved the scratch and sniff stickers too!
Yeah betcha they didn't use the same formula.. they should've done what Kenner did. :P
-
I have resented peppermint crunch mint is super easy, I have not tired anyone else.
-

Seconding this, because to me it's a perfect description. As a kid I had Cocoberry and thought she smelled like those stickers. Huckle Berry Pie (SSC) that I also had, smelled like one of the blueberry scratch n sniff stickers.

Thanks to this post, my husband caught me huffing my ponies....akward

that made me laugh out loud :lol: so funny.

My childhood Boysenberry Pie still has some scent. She smelled really strong when I got her, and I never liked the fragrance. The one that I got several months ago has no scent. My Sugar Apple still smells nice; I always liked how she smelled. My Coco Berry is not easily accessible at the moment, but I think she's faintly fragrant (and I think it's pleasant, for the record). The Caramel Crunch that I acquired last month has lost pretty much all of her smell (along with her curls).
-
I forgot I also have Shebert but I don't think she still has a scent. I will check though.

I have one that still has her smell. A supposedly German cherry treats. She smells of fresh clean cherries. Are there really other country versions of these?

I liked BP's scent when I got her, but the older I got, the more I didn't like it...ha. It was pretty strong. I think young me got high off her a few times. :lol: :blush: :biggrin:

Oohh, I saw her in the picture you shared on our brag, she looks nice! :D That set has great color combinations.

:lol:
Me and my niece used to 'get high' on the G3 scented ponies, especially the birthday cake one, she really loved those.
-
Does ice cream really have a scent? I've never smelled anything from ice cream. Am I the only one?
No, ice cream doesn't have a smell. You have every right to be disappointed.
Anyway I came back to read about the people "getting high" off of pony smell and thought it was funny! Imagine the paranoid-type parents' reaction to that.
Too cute.
-
But BTW is it the hair or the body of the ponies that smells?
-

For the Sweetberry Ponies & the scented G3s, it's the bodies. I assume the same is true for the Sundae Best. I'm not sure about the the Perfume Puffs.

I had a perfume puff that had some faint scent left, it actually seemed strongest at the hair...but that could've been a coincidence.
-
I really didn't like the Perfume Puff smells (and the Perfume Puff Palace atomiser-thingy)
I agree! I had Dainty Dahlia when I was little and she STANK!! I couldn't take her on car rides because her smell made me car sick!
-
I have a couple of Candy Cane ponies who smell faintly of their original scent if I hold them up to my nose.
All my other ponies smell like whatever they were last washed in. ^^
Also, I find G3 coconut scent slightly sickening. :( I had a Coconut Grove, but I got rid of her because of her smell.
-
I think with the Perfume Puffs it's the hair and for the Sweetberry and Candy Cane ponies it's the bodies.
Interesting to know that the smell was baked into the Strawberry Shortcake PVCs . . . that explains why any time I find one in a thrift store, it still smells great!

My Puffs seem more scented in the hair. I wonder if anyone has a rerooted Puff who still smells? That might answer the question...do you remove the perfume if you remove the puff?
-
Pretty sure for perfume puffs, it's the hair that's scented the most, if not exclusively - possible that any body perfume scent is transfer. All the others it's definitely the plastic/body, I suspect it was sprayed on because I distinctly remember my childhood Boysenberry Pie having this odd texture to her, sort of grainy, that none of my other ponies had.

You wanna know about sickening? Try opening Maple Stirrup (A horse from the original Strawberry Shortcake line) in a car, in august, and leaving her there while you and your family get lunch! OH. My.GAWD. That car smelled like syrup forever.

:lol: My mom and I used to sneak my Maple Stirrup into my dad's car at night. Sometimes he would notice before he left, but often he wouldn't notice until after he was ready to come home and the scent had permeated the entire car after sitting in the hot parking lot all day.

Also, love that her name was Maple Stirrup. That is too cute <3
-
None of my sweetberry ponies have any smell :( well aside from your usual pony smell but nothing fruity :(((((
Most of my sundae best do either. Except this baity Cocoberry I was going to restore. Even after cleaning her down and an oxiclean soak, not only can I not get her head off, But she smells very very strongly of this sugary smell.
-
I got a Coco Berry in the nail and she still smelled very sweet. And I remember my perfume puff pony from my childhood did smell like perfume.
-
I came across a candy cane pony recently! First time to see/hold one in person..ha.
I gave her a wiff.. Wwoooohhh.. :blink: I'm definitely allergic to the scent; my throat started to hurt and I started to sneeze.. ugh. Had a feeling I would be... >_< She'll be for trade / sale at the TX pony meet up event! -- covered in bubble wrap for safe scent keeping.. :biggrin:
The body definitely seemed to carry the scent.
-
My cousin has some scented ponies Cherry Treats lost her scent at some point smelt like plastic, but she has regained some of her scent back still does not smell like cherries it just smells kinda weird now some of the sundae best ponies none of them smell like ice cream *gives suspicious eyes* you've got some explaining to do Hasbro, but one must ask why Hasbro why make everybody smell pony butts.
Side Note: my nose may be broken or something, but I never really noticed a smell to them except maybe a funky off smell that smells like what their suppose to mixed with something else I can't quite identify so I don't know they have some form of scent, but not sure what it is.
-
Most if not all G1's were lightly scented with vanilla, probably to cover up the fresh plastic smell. Those chemicals can and do break down with age though, so what most ponies have for scent today, probably isn't what they were designed to smell like.
-
I received a box of ponies yesterday. There was a Coco Berry inside... the *whole box* smells like her now...
Quite strong and nuaseatingly sweet. And they were in that box for a few days only (to be shipped to me)
