I did not know this...
The new car scent is actually the breaking down of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Flowers and other plants are an example of a natural source of VOCs, however, a large number are synthetically produced compounds like coatings, solvents, sealants, and adhesives used to manufacture modern cars. VOCs rapidly decay and the smell eventually (and quite literally) goes right out the window.
Not that I really cared to know where it came from. It just is. Sorta like how the posi-trac rear-end on a Plymouth work. It just does.
So then like... if flowers and other plants are a natural source of VOCs can they like, cross-pollinate plants to get some that have the new car smell? Imagine your whole house having a new car smell.
