The aroma of new car smell is one that is hard to pin down. Why does it smell so good? What is the overriding aroma?
As Man of Many pointed out, Goest Perfumes has attempted to answer these questions by creating Grand Tour — a unisex cologne that harnesses the scent of leather to create a new sports car smell inspired scent.
At US$140 for a 60ml bottle, Grand Tour is definitely the cheapest way to harness that sports car smell without forking out the big bucks.
At first smell, the Grant Tour opens with a burst of herbs and five citrus fruits. As it wears, you’re greeted with fresh and sweet-smelling basil alongside notes of cedar, which “combine for a distinctive and energetic spiciness that revs at 4000 RPM.”
The foundation of the cologne is “well-tanned leathers and elegant oakmoss”, topping off that new sports car vibe perfectly.
While the Grand Tour is undoubtedly inspired by masculine fragrances, Goest recommends this scent for both men and women, thanks to it’s “sensual and elegant” notes.
So, while you might not be driving off into the sunset in a new sports car, you can keep the dream alive with the help of Grand Tour.
