If you are sniffy about the budget marque Dacia, here’s the sweet-smelling antidote.
Partnered with award-winning perfumer 4160 Tuesdays, it has created a collection of ‘new car smells’ inspired by the most popular British road trips as judged in a poll of 2,000 motorists.
Top spots went to Scotland’s North Coast 500 (68 per cent); The Coastal Way, Wales (50 per cent), Dorset’s Jurassic Coast (40 per cent); Cheddar Gorge, Somerset (38 per cent) and Causeway Coastal Route, Northern Ireland (37 per cent).

The ‘Scent-sational Highlands’ perfume, referencing the North Coast 500, combines earth and sea with pine trees and wild raspberries.
The Welsh ‘Coastal Whiff’ blends seashore aroma with daffodils and brine, and so on.
