A study of 2,000 adults found we have a love for the smell of rain, the 'new car' scent, and newspaper pages - while others are partial to shoe polish, pet food and TCP antiseptic cream
Brits have revealed their love for some rather unconventional scents, with nail polish, tarmac, and tennis balls topping the list of peculiar favourites. A survey involving 2,000 adults uncovered a fondness for the smell of rain, the distinctive 'new car' aroma, and even the scent of fresh newspaper pages.
In a celebration of the beloved 'new car' fragrance, Fred Sirieix has collaborated with Auto Trader, the online marketplace for new and used cars, to curate a collection of unique scent profiles for different car brands. These olfactory descriptions aim to encapsulate the spirit of each brand, ranging from Land Rover's earthy tones to Vauxhall's evocative mix of British oak and tobacco leaf.
Additionally, the research indicated that 21 per cent of participants would love for the 'new car smell' to remain as long as they have their vehicle. A quarter of Brits would buy an electric car to avoid the smell of petrol, and 14 per cent would go electric to keep that 'new car smell' for longer, according to a study. The research also found that 31% strongly dislike it when the new car smell starts to fade.
The study revealed that Brits are more likely to prefer natural scents over synthetic ones . Citrus was voted the best scent category by 34 per cent, followed closely by woody and floral aromas.
