Wearing perfume as well as a heavenly host of safety and convenience features, the new Mercedes-Benz flagship sedan has made its world debut for journalist drivers.
In what is claimed to be a first among luxury cars, the 2014 Mercedes S-Class offers a $350 option that wafts perfume through the car.
A small container fits into a receptacle inside the glove compartment and becomes part of the automatic climate control system.
Called “active perfuming,” it adjusts the smell of the car’s interior and can be turned on and off manually, or adjusted to suit the owner’s tastes.
There are four mood scents: Nightlife, Sports, Downtown and Fireside. Of course, the owner can substitute his or her own perfume, cologne and, presumably, shaving lotion.
