Six car brands that also sell fragrances you can buy that aren’t air fresheners

Whether it be watches, sunglasses, honey, whisky or even Fabergé Eggs, car brands love putting their name to products that aren't transport related. One type of branded accessory that has been a hot item for car brands and a staple Christmas stocking stuffer is fragrances. The $55b fragrance industry is full of scents and smells that go from floral to musk to ocean breeze and to woody. Here are six car brands that have fragrance lines that’ll have you smelling opulent in no time.

The Bentley fragrance range launched in 2013 thanks to an exclusive collaboration with London's prestigious Harrods department store. Bentley has combined their brand heritage and design ques and combined it with world renowned French perfume houses to put their talents to good use.

Who wouldn’t want to smell like a prancing horse? Ferrari has a handful of different fragrances which have been released over the last 20 years. The most popular two are the Scuderia Ferrari Red launched in 2010 and Scuderia Ferrari Black in launched 2013. Both of which you can picked up pretty cheaply online or at the chemist. A much more cost effective way to own a Ferrari, that’s for sure.

One customer commented online saying "Been wearing this now for 4 weeks and just like a Ferrari been receiving plenty of looks and the odd what are you wearing. For someone who doesn't look for the attention, if you are however, this fragrance is for you." With reactions like that, all you need to do is wear your Ferrari merch and you’re set.

Fiat has been an icon of Italian motoring for decades, most notably for its tiny and cute Fiat 500. As with anything cute and iconic, an inspired fragrance must follow suit. According to the promotional website for the scent which comes in a bottle shaped like the front end of the tiny bubble car, the fragrance is: “A mischievous, irreverent fragrance contained in a packaging featuring an iconic and sensual design. We know what you are thinking: "I want it!" So what are you waiting for? Experience the wow effect. Try it on your skin.”

We found it at Chemist Warehouse for $29.99, so not as exxy as your Bentley, Mercedes-Benz or Jaguar fragrances – just like the car itself.

Reading the individual Jaguar fragrance descriptions you could be forgiven for thinking they were describing a car;

"The thrill of a winding mountain road. A cool wind blowing as the steep, stony landscape rushes by. The trace of wheels gripping grey, glinting asphalt… Scent, sight, touch… Rough yet sophisticated, matching a uniquely potent trail with a boldly original presentation, Jaguar Classic Chromite is designed to excite the senses."

Jaguar joined the fragrance brigade almost 30 years ago with Jaguar For Men, designed to live up to the lifestyle of a sophisticated gentleman, one who dresses elegantly yet with ease and knows how to combine fashion with it. Since then, the brand has released over 15 scents including some limited edition versions with a run of only 75.

Just like the Mercedes-Benz car vehicle lineup, the fragrance range is just as jam packed and has something for everyone. Mercedes is no stranger to branded products that bare their logo such as clothing, watches, pet accessories and even prams.

There are over 10 different fragrances for both men and women in a variety of smells and bottle styles too. The most popular fragrance, essentially the C-Class of Merc fragrances is the Mercedes Benz Club Eau De Toilette in it's iconic curved silver bottle. One customer commented online saying "I bought this for my husband because he bought a very old Mercedes Benz about six months ago. We love it so he smells good too."

Porsche Design Fragrances hit the shelves back in 2008 with The Essence, a cool and spicy fragrance, in a turquoise block-of-ice-bottle. It quickly evolved into a suite of woman's and men's fragrances including Porsche Design Sport, the fresh-masculine Titan, and the aromatic-spicy Palladium in 2015.

In 2019 Porsche Design 180 Black was added, an all black flacon and highly energetic according to the company. They are all very upmarket and very what you would expect from a brand like Porsche. That means that they're also pricey in comparison to other car brand related scents pushing towards $100 for an Eau De Toilette.
