'''Scentiments''' (stylized as SCENTiments, a play on the word "sentiments", also known as "scents") are small plastic discs that are infused with pleasant fragrances. They are one of three main types of [[Stuffer|stuffer]] that can be inserted into a normal-sized or giant furry friend at the Stuff Me station before it is sewn up. Scentiments are either shaped like hearts or like bear head in Build-A-Bear's logo.▼

===Discs===
Scentiment discs are heat activated, which means it can take some time for them to become smellable through a bear's fur, depending on the strength of the scent and the density of the bear's fur. Rubbing the disc on the outside of the bear before placing it inside can mitigate this, but this technique can sometimes have the unintended side effect of staining the fur or leaving a colored residue, especially on lighter colored bears. Some scents are more prone to causing this than others. Scents have variable lifespans, with some lasting 10 years or more and others seeming to fade almost immediately upon insertion, depending on the individual scent and how much it is activated by hugs and cuddles over the years.▼

When adding a new entry, remember to include the <span id=scentname></span> tags around the image that is highest on the page for the entry. For entries with one disc image and one icon, this will be the disc image. For entries with multiple disc images and only one icon, this will be the first disc. For entries with only one disc image but multiple icons, this will be the first icon. This is anchor that allows an individual entry to be linked to by adding #scentname to the end of the URL - we put it here rather than attaching it to the name of the scent so all images are visible without having to scroll when the entry is jumped to.
