New Car Smell, any way to do it?

I was just wondering if there is any way to truely give a car that refreshing chemically brand-new from the dealership smell?

I have one friend who has an older sable and for some reason it still smells new and my friend denies doing anything to it that would make it that way. I think it is the leather seats or something but I notice it every time.

One of my friends used some interior set from armorall or something and it kind of had the chemical smell but more kind of like poison.

I got the new car air fresheners but they smell like flowery and minty but not how i want them.

Well the only way to get the true new car smell is to buy a new car. Otherwise the next best thing is a good leather conditioner like Z10 or Chemical Guys Leather conditioner. Both remind me of new leather which is part of the new car smell.

I use Zaino's Leather Treatment and Conditioner and I get the comment that the SS smells brand new all the time. I have to say, IMO, Zaino's product smells the best.

Have you tried anything else? Like CGs Leather conditioner?

I stuck with Zaino's because when detailing my sisters Mustang, her seats have silver inserts, and the Zaino was the only cleaner/conditioner that actually restored them to "like new" condition.
