I ordered this scented squishy owl for my grandaughters. It is so cute! And it is defintely scented. The scent is a little strong but will probably lessen once it has been out the plastic wrap for a little while. I love owls and it is so tempting to be a stingy grandma and keep this. The coloring is vibrant and beautiful. I give this squishy owl a definite thumbs up.
