The Ford 'Mach-Eau' perfume is a newly created product from the brand that is focused on evoking the smell of gasoline to satisfy drivers who might miss it when transitioning to an electric vehicle.
The fragrance, while not available for sale or purchase, is reported to be reminiscent of the smell of gasoline with notes of chemicals found therein. The perfume also boasts notes of the vehicle interior and even the smell of rubber tires, while also blending in more palatable notes of geranium, lavender, blue ginger and sandalwood.
The Ford 'Mach-Eau' perfume was developed after a survey concluded that 70% of car owners who said they would miss the smell of gasoline once they switch over to an electric vehicle.
