Unique pleasant scent that's very close to new car
Every other air freshener I've tried labeled "new car" was just another scent that smelled as much like new car as "waterfall" or "mountain" and other such scents smelled like their namesakes. Not this. This is something different. I can understand now why reviewers mentioned most of the wide variety of scents they compared this too (new electronics, plastic, etc.), except I don't know why so many people said it smelled like bleach. I sprayed about four sprays on the floor in the front and back seats of my 2011 Ford sedan. At first I was unsure whether I liked the scent and was not enjoying it on my nearly four hour trip, though that may be because I sprayed a little too much and/or because it completely destroyed any trace of the amazing upholstery cleaner scent that I used a few weeks ago. Then, the next day, it was different. My car smelled brand new inside (this may have been the immediate result if I sprayed less)! It was not exactly as I remember new cars smelling, but wow--close enough! I keep my car in detailed condition all the time. This scent would be out of place and disconcerting in a dirty interior IMO. After 2-3 days the scent relaxes a bit and smells "neutral," though I realize that makes no sense (hopefully you know what I mean). The deodorizing properties are magical as far as I'm concerned. Even though I sprayed it only on the carpet, it somehow took the upholstery cleaner scent (which was itself supposed to be a deodorizer!) out of the seats entirely. Hopefully, it does that for scents I actually want to get rid of, if I ever have that problem. If you prefer fruity, lavendar, vanilla, etc. (all of which I strongly dislike) over "chemical" smells, this is probably the wrong air freshener for you. If you want a fresh, pleasant scent that mimics new car outgassing, I suggest this with the caveat that everyone's sense of smell is different, so you never know. It is strong though, so just spray sparingly at first and then to scent.

Great product
Not quite a new car smell, but I highly recommend it. I will only use this in my truck.

Nice scent, just doesn’t quite smell like that “new car” smell.
I would probably mimic what others have said on this product. First, let me say that I am very meticulous with my vehicles. I always keep them extremely clean inside and out. I really don’t have a need for an air freshener. I use a leather cleaner and conditioning product and a lot of people will get in my ~4 year old vehicle and wonder how it still “smells new”. I don’t think it smells new, but what they are smelling is that conditioner. Anyway, I love the smell of a new car. If I found a product, even an air freshener product (which I otherwise don’t use) that would give me that, I’d be all over it. I will say this and get it out of the way right now… if you are in the same position as me, this product DOES NOT give your car a new car smell as it advertises. The smell is clean… somewhat reminiscent of a new plastic smell. New car smell is much more than new plastic, however. I mean, the smell isn’t bad. It’s just not new car. I like it. It’s growing on me. I just bought a new to me used vehicle. It didn’t smell bad inside, but I’ve been using this product religiously to try and get the “new car smell”. I am spraying it directly onto the carpets and floor mats as well as putting the AC on max and spraying under the dash to let it take it up into the vents. I find that you do need to refresh daily or every other day to keep the smell prominent. It doesn’t last as long as I’d expect. It also takes quite a number of sprays. I bought a 16oz bottle to try and it’s lasted me about 2 weeks. I did like it enough that I just bought the 20oz bottle and will continue to use the product and see how it does. Whether I continue it after that’s or not remains to be seen. So all in all, I like the product. The scent is good. It is not a new car scent. If that’s what you’re hoping for, you may be disappointed.

Most realistic new car smell you can find IMO.
Several years ago I found a new car smell that was off label from Walmart or somewhere. Loved it so much and I was totally bummed when I ran out. Took me a few years to finally find it again. I was literally that weirdo in the aisle at every auto parts store and Walmart smelling car scents until I got dizzy. FINALLY! I stumbled on car guys. Also doesn't hurt that they are one of the best suppliers of quality detailing products out there. Very happy to support them with my hard-earned money. Now, I realize this is totally subjective and everyone is going to have a different opinion, but I get compliments all of the time and people are constantly asking me what it is and where I got it. I've probably turned a dozen people on to this. They do sell a smaller sampler size that also comes with a leather conditioner. My recommendation is to get that one first and give it a try to make sure you like it. Hopefully you will love it as much as I do!

Best “new car” scent EVER
Holy WOW! Best authentic new car scent I’ve found. I can’t compare any car scent to this, I bought it on a whim having liked some of their other products from Walmart. Did not disappoint. Don’t spray on your pleather though, my mistakes and I just had to wipe the water spots it left off real quick. Smells soooo freaking good and fresh, no headache inducing smell, but is strong and effective.

確かに他に類を見ないような匂いがします 例えるなら新しいプリンターの箱を開けた時のような少しケミカルな感じの匂いです 新車の匂いかと言われると大多数が認知している新車の匂いではないかな、でも言わんとしている事は分かる、くらいのレベルでしょうか 新品のPC周りのガジェットを開封した時のプラスチック製品の独特な香りが好きな人には刺さる匂いだと思います。 使い方は多く海外レビューにもある通りマットや布に数回スプレーしておくといい感じに車内に広がり、一度のスプレーでも思いの外何日も継続します。 量、匂い、持続性から見ても金額は妥当だと感じました。

This stuff is awsome. Smells more like a cinema than new car but that’s all good. Better than cigarettes which it got rid of after one use. I will be buying more.

De geur heeft meer wat weg van een computerzaak / winkel voor kantoorartikelen. Maar is zeker NIET de geur van een nieuwe auto.

Also zu allererste muss gesagt werden: KEINE AHNUNG was die Leute hier negativ bewerten. Ehrlich Freunde wenn es sparsam angewendet wird (ca. 1-2 "sanfte" Sprüher) jeweils auf die hinteren Fußmatten dann kommt es an den ECHTEN Neuwagengeruch schon sehr nah dran. Klar, die ersten paar Stunden riecht es schon sehr intensiv, jedoch nicht nach Kabelbrand oder ähnlichem. Aber einen Tag später nimmt die Intensität schon ab jmd es ist ein angenehmer Geruch in Richtung Neuwagen. Man sollte (falls vorhanden) die Klimaanlage auf ganz kalt und Umluft stellen und mal für etwa zehn Minuten laufen lassen, damit sich alles im Auto und der Klima verteilen kann..siehe dazu auch einfach mal das Video von CG. Ich bin sehr zufrieden und finde den Geruch als sehr angenehm, wenn dezent verwendet. Es sei aber gesagt, dass die Flasche wohl für die nächsten zehn Auto-Leben reichen wird. Ach übrigens..das Zeug kann auch 1:7 (ein Teil "Duft" mit sieben teilen Wasser) verdünnt werden, wobei ich das nicht mache bzw brauche. Von mir kläre Kaufempfehlung.
