new car smell
Dealership olfactory signature
New car smell is the distinctive odor inside a recently manufactured vehicle, a blend of volatile compounds from plastics, adhesives, leather, and upholstery.
The scent triggers associations with newness, prosperity, and the pleasure of ownership.
Air fresheners and sprays marketed as "new car smell" attempt to recreate it: The dealer detailed my old Honda and now it has that new car smell again.
