The smell of a new car is often described as a combination of various aromatics, including the smell of fresh leather, plastic, adhesives, and carpeting.

 You may even be familiar with the fragrance spray titled 'New Car Smell?

Here are some of the 'obvious' elements that contribute to that "new car" smell:

Leather: Many new cars have leather interiors, which give off a distinct scent that is often described as rich and luxurious.
Plastic: New car interiors are often composed of plastic components, which can produce a slightly sweet, synthetic odour that is often associated with the "new car" smell.
Adhesives: Cars are held together with various types of adhesives, which can create a slightly chemical odour that contributes to the overall scent.
Carpeting: The carpeting in a new car can produce a soft, slightly sweet odor that is often associated with the "new car" smell.
Air fresheners: Some car manufacturers may use air fresheners or other scents to enhance the "new car" smell or mask any unwanted odors.
Overall, the smell of a new car can vary depending on the make and model of the car, as well as other factors such as the materials used in the interior.

The combination of leather, plastic, adhesives, and other components create a distinct and often pleasant scent that many people associate with the excitement of driving a new car, but that is not the entire story....

These days innovative car manufacturers are trialing new ways to embed fragrance into their vehicles to imbue their creations with a unique sense of emotion and luxury.
