Fragrance can enhance realism, but it must be chosen with skin safety in mind. When selecting scents for environments where a skin-like surface is involved, opt for mild, hypoallergenic products with minimal volatile compounds. Strong or citrus-based fragrances can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals, especially when left on surfaces that mimic skin for extended periods. If a fragrance is used, apply it to air diffusers rather than directly onto the doll or surrounding skin-like materials.
To maintain skin-safe conditions, ensure good ventilation and limit fragrance concentrations. Cleaning products should be fragrance-free or very lightly scented to prevent chemical interactions that could degrade the surface over time. Periodic deep cleaning and fresh air exposure help reduce odor buildup without compromising the integrity of the doll’s materials. If you notice any skin irritation or unusual smells, reassess cleaning products and fragrance usage to preserve skin-like texture and overall safety.
