Smells Like Kid Spirit

I sure wish there was a fragrance (body spray, purfume, potpourri) that smelled like the Strawberry Shortcake dolls. I loved these dolls when I was a kid, and I can still remember their plasticky sweet aroma. The 4" dolls each had a different fruity smell (Blueberry Muffin, Lemon Merengue, etc.). Now, 25 years later, I can still go down to my basement back home, pull out a plastic bag that is now home to my old friends, stick my face in and take a deep breath....and instantly that carefree, imaginative, hopeful, and fruity feeling of childhood fills me up.
So if I could get that feeling without having to stick my head in a plastic bag, that'd be great!
