Close to Home by John McPherson for March 23, 2018

Close. The “new car smell” is really the vapours of all the adhesives that haven’t dried totally yet.

That is actually available in a “pine tree” air freshener.

I once considered buying a car from Neral Motors but think they were bought out by Ord.

My retirement gift was “Stripper Scent” car air freshener spray. It has an aroma of cheap perfume, sweat, and beer.

This is almost true. Car dealers used to have a way of recreating that “new car” smell to sell cars.

Aha! I knew it!
