Boy Smells has joined forces with Bratz to create something no one saw coming: the first-ever “doll skin musk.” Known for its cult-favorite gender-neutral scents, the perfume brand takes inspiration from the Bratz dolls’ glossy image and the nostalgic skin musk fragrance profile. The result is Doll Skin Take It Or Leave It, a body mist that balances sweet, floral, and synthetic notes in a way that feels both surreal and fun.

The scent opens with a burst of strawberry, giving an instantly youthful sweetness that sets the tone. Vanilla orchid anchors the middle with a delicate floral touch, keeping the fragrance fresh and romantic. But what truly makes Doll Skin different is the base: a plastic doll accord that lingers on the skin. While unconventional, the plastic note has recently emerged as a favorite in nostalgic perfumery. Boy Smells leans into the trend, calling the finish “plastique chic,” a tongue-in-cheek nod to childhood toys and playful femininity.
The collaboration reflects a shift in fragrance culture toward bold, irreverent storytelling. Just as Bratz dolls reshaped the idea of fashion dolls in the early 2000s with their edgy aesthetic, this fragrance pushes boundaries in beauty. By combining traditionally pretty notes like strawberry and orchid with the artificiality of plastic, Doll Skin captures a tension between fantasy and reality. It’s a scent that toys with memory, identity, and performance, fitting for fans of both Bratz and Boy Smells.
Practicality hasn’t been overlooked either. Like the rest of Boy Smells’ travel mists, Doll Skin is designed to last on the skin and comes in compact packaging perfect for on-the-go refreshes. It layers easily with other fragrances but holds its own as a standalone statement. For collectors, the mist is available in two sizes: an eight-ounce bottle priced at $38 USD and a three-ounce option for $24 USD. A bundle with both is also offered, making it easy to slip the mini into a bag while keeping the full size at home.
With Doll Skin, Bratz and Boy Smells tap into fragrance nostalgia while offering a product that feels very now. It’s irreverent, playful, and slightly surreal, a scent that invites you to smell like the doll you once played with, or perhaps still channel in spirit.
The Bratz x Boy Smells Doll Skin Take It Or Leave It Body Mist is available now on the brand’s website.
