Did you know ‘New car smell’ is a Wikipedia entry? It is indeed. According to the largest free online encyclopaedia, the term “refers to the odour that comes from the combination of materials found in new automobiles”. Wikipedia also refers to the fact that some people find it to be a very pleasant smell, and that there are ‘new-car smell air fresheners’ that can reproduce the smell of a brand new vehicle in old cars. In fact, some workshops and dealers use it after a repair and with second-hand cars.
