The “new car smell” can be bought as an air-refreshener in most roadside stops. It’s a hoax even when it is a genuine new car. The carefully designed scent is added in the production process deliberately. Even if a real leather-and-wood interior seems to be the source some perfume designer put together animals gland scent with sandalwood and rosewood fragrances.
My Suburu has been totally trashed by my Lab Carmy. There is enough hair woven permanently into the fabric that it could make a couple of other hairless dogs, covered in black hair. It is disgusting but like a Suburu, it runs perfectly. It is grimy , dirt splattered, saliva stained and now designated as “the dogmobile.”
I think they’’re getting away from those materials (whatever they were). Our new car does NOT have the new car smell. Not a bad smell, just mostly neutral. But it sure beats wet dog!

It’s better than most of those tear gas concoctions know as perfume or cologne.

Wet dog smell just shows that the car is owned.

Don’t like that new car smell, smells like harmful chemicals to me. Much prefer the wet dog smell.
