If you really like that new car smell then maybe you can wear it! Autoblogger reports, "Talk about badge engineering. Aramis and Designer Fragrances, a division of Estee Lauder, has partnered with [Ford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-bronco-bricc) to "bring the Mustang man to life." How? With a [cologne spray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-colognes-by-ds-durga), of course." Smells delicious.

**Implications** - A way for businesses to target an audience of men is to attract a group of people such as car buffs with non-automotive products that are still linked to cars. People who collect cars may be inspired to collect other items that a specific car brand endorses. Businesses can use this example to create a whole slew of items that are linked to something popular, but completely different.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Car Branded Consumer Products:** There is an opportunity for companies to expand their product lines by creating non-automotive products linked to specific car brands.
- **Personalized Fragrances:** The use of personalized fragrances in branding promotions can create a unique brand image for customers.
- **Nostalgia Marketing:** Nostalgia-driven marketing campaigns, such as the use of the beloved new car scent, can tap into consumers' emotions and increase brand loyalty.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Perfume and Fragrance:** The perfume industry can explore opportunities to create personalized fragrances that embody a sense of nostalgia for specific brands.
- **Automotive:** The automotive industry can expand into non-automotive markets by collaborating with companies to create branded consumer products such as colognes or other fashion accessories.
