I'm Australian, and whilst I've made a few suits, I've never really... Suited.
I've got my full-suit from a few of my favourite makers (TFU, Fursonalities, Pickledlemur etc.) coming in time for FurDu and Supanova at the end of march/early april (Australian summer/autumn).
My suit has a few sneaky-bits to avoid overheating etc. and I was wondering your opinions etc to make it's best. I'll include all that under the cut.
This is my reference sheet :)

As you can see in the ref, she has huge white eyes and a zipper.
Yeah, that's because of ventilation. Having far larger, open areas for vision both help with me and my glasses, and the airflow of the mask. She'll also have a fully working jaw, drilled nostrils and a fan. She's resin based, so that I don't die from the foam, too.
The zipper is actually a zipper. It's from a place online, and is about 22" long, and quite thick. Perfect for unzipping and cooling down without removing my head or suit.

I was thinking of investing in maybe 3 of these:

With these, I can cooldown WITHOUT breaking character. I'd be getting 3 because it's two 3 day cons, a week between eachother. I don't want to smell.
I'm also getting a sound-box similar to the clockwork hawk made by a friend of mine, I'm thinking to play some kind of canary sounds depending on how I move my jaw. I'm a crazy bird lady and it'd help with the "silent" act. If yo've got any better ideas for noises, as opposed to chattering birdies let me know!
Final question:
I've seen outdated posts about this idea, but no idea how to bring it to life.
How the heck could I get this head to have a scent, like those old toys as a kid. I'm thinking either butterscotch, marzipan, hazelnut or almond, but whatever is suggested too.
I'm okay with a slight spray or incense but I don't want to ruin this suit by doing something dumb,
