Lightbulb Mhm, what a smell ...

My Motor Trend issue arrived today. I was surprised to find a fragrance flap, like those that you see in woman's magazines.
I asked myself: why would a car magazine start doing this ? Then I decided to take a sniff. Opened the flap, stuck my nose in and .... almost got a whiplash from throwing my head backwards. What a stink !!! Then I actually started reading.
It turned out it was a Volvo (S50 I believe) commercial stating that after getting this car you'll be burning tires (paraphrazing).
Well, they sucessfully managed to pack burnt rubber smell into a magazine.

Wonderful times we live in.

They can replicate burnt rubber but not a genuine, chemically, new plastic and textiles "new car" scent?!?
