So, I bought a used 2003 996 turbo. On the test drive, I noticed this cologne smell, but I thought it was the sales guy! I came to realize that the smell was coming from the car. So, I did a full detail- clean/condition the leather, shampoo the carpets, new floor mats, etc. Still the smell lingered, so I rented an ozonator and ran it for 2 hours.

The smell seemed to be gone, but as the weather has gotten a little warmer and humid, the smell has come back. It is a 1/4 of what it was, but still annoying. Any other ideas? BTW, I have used Fabrezze and even bought these rocks which are supposed to soak up odor.

Thanks

there's a product called Meguiar's odor eliminator, it's taken out many odors in my client's cars. I would give it a shot and see if that does the trick.

Check the cabin air filter / replace. Clean the headliner most odours will remain there until cleaned

Headliner is a great suggestion.

Would also deep clean the steering wheel and shift **** if you haven't already.
