I dont really like the new car smell except for the first week or so. Mine's kinda going away since I got a car air freshner.

If you like leather smell, then try Zaino's leather in the bottle.

Only a tiny bit of that new car smell is due to the leather. Experts say it's mostly outgassing of the plastics; in particular polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and phthalates. As james6290 noted, those chemicals suspected of causing all sorts of health problems. Parking your car in the sun (with the windows closed) on a day with a high UV index will bring out the new car smell, as both heat and UV increase outgassing of those chemicals.

i think the new car smell is too overwhelming. also, it's a combination of different carcinogens

I hate the new car smell and the smell of air freshners. I prefer my car smelling like Acqua di Gio or Armani Mania.

That's why I bought a oil diffuser for the car and bought cologne oil that smells exactly like acqua di gio. yum.

CNN is toxic to accuracy in reporting and being nonbiased.

i find aqua to be too sharp...plus it makes me feel like euro trash. in any case i like the car to smell like NOTHING, maybe just warm...altho warm doesnt have a smell...
