Scentiments: Difference between revisions

'''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.

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. Bear builders will often try to mitigate this by rubbingRubbing 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.

Scents can only be placed in full-sized or giant-sized furry friends. Some pre-stuffed online exclusives cannot have scents put in them at the time of purchasing, but can have scents added later at home or in store. Scentiments cannot be purchased outside of a furry friend on most webstores or in-store in the UK, but can be purchased on their own in US stores. Not all scents were available in all regions, but there has not to date been a Scentiment that could not be purchased in the United States.
