Red face That used German coupe smell...

My first love was a used Audi TT. When I bought it from the dealer, it had this unique scent...clean, a bit like floral honey. I loved it. It gradually faded after a year. Tried as I might, I was never able to find a cleaner or air freshener that replicated it.

My next car was a new American sedan. It had the standard old "new car" smell, and that faded after a few months.

When shopping for my Crossfire, I knew I'd found the right one for me (among other things) because I sat in it, took a deep breath, and there it was - that same scent.

I've never smelled it anywhere else, and I'd love to find out what it is so I can keep it going. So it seems to occur in used German sport coupes bought from a dealer. Pretty restrictive category, but I'm willing to bet it has something to do with "used" and "dealer" - likely a sterilizing agent of some sort used during the reconditioning process.

Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? Or am I just a little insane?

Any idea where I can get some more? (of the scent, not insanity).
