Yeah. My wife's E400 has a jar of smell liquid in the glove box. Aromatherapy?

Porsche sells shirts and espresso cups so why not.

They also have scent engineers to design that “new Porsche smell” - every detail is engineered.

Fragrance engineering is a science in its own, did you know that Porsche dealerships use scents? It’s a subliminal thing.

In my line of work I deal with design, details, and user experience. Everything matters. To each its own but I am perceptive to scents and how they play into building the character and personality of an object or space.

I’ve heard about the Z-10, will try it!
Ignore them, this is typical on the 991 forum. Half contribute the other half kid, passive kidding. I've owned a bunch of used Porsches and somehow the previous owners managed to make the cars smell almost bad, I figure open the window all the time in garage and it will go away but it never does. I think dang why can't someone make a fragrance that has that staying power. It is one of the reasons I'm always most happy with a new car, always garaged at home and work and keeps that factory smell for years. My buddy just got a 2017 C2S Cab with only 2200 miles and the previous persons left some smell in it that I really don't like.

In my Cayenne I use a cheap vent stick, it's better than whatever smell is in there. Some of us are more sensitive to smells than others. I haven't looked hard to see if someone has made a nice scent. The Griot's Leather Care isn't too bad but it doesn't last long. Try the Zaino stuff and let us know.

It is called the “Active Perfuming System”.

A tiny piece cloth with Griots leather conditioner, under a seat, works great. A least in my M3. Assume it would work well in P car also. Off topic, former owner of 996 C4, 997 C2, 997 TT, 997 GT3 and just took delivery of 991 T with PCCB as only option. Fabulous old school drive. Will probably put above piece of cloth under the seat at some point although Im not sure there any leather in it at all.

My boyfriend’s 911 smells like my dog!
You know the old saying “love me love my dog”.
