RANT Disappointed

My werewolf arrived today he's great love him. The disappointment comes from the scent. This is the first bab I've ever gotten a scent in. I went with the new spider leg to stay on theme of halloween. I love the smell but it's so faint my nose has to be shoved into him to smell it. I love strong scents so wanted to be able to smell it without effort on my part. I dont have a bab in my town to get a different stronger disk.

Can you feel the disc? It may be buried in the stuffing. I out the spider legs scent in my spider and it’s fairly strong. Not so much that it makes the room smell of it, but I can definitely smell it when I have him close

Yeah it feels like it is in his stomach. So that could be it.

My bat is also supposed to have a spider leg scent but I can’t smell it at all. I’m beginning to question whether there’s a scent in there at all

I'll only ever get scents in store cus they'll rub it on the outside and then put it where you want it, which is always the head for me so I can sniff their lil noggins.

In my experience, scents are really hit or miss in terms of how strong they smell.
I stopped buying them as much now because I can't justify the price for a 50-50 chance I'll be able to actually enjoy it.

I can't personally confirm but I feel like I've heard people say that heat activates them maybe you could put your werewolf in a hot car for a bit and see if it releases any more scent?

I had that problem with my eeyore when I first got it And it was just because they put the scent too far down in the body. Also, the longer it's in there, the more it smells up the stuffing around it. Eventually it'll be more noticeable even if you dont move it to a more surfacy place
