Is the fragrance used in Mercedes-Benz car perfumes essential oil?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz car perfumes use specially blended compound fragrances, not pure essential oils. Fragrance introduction: It is a liquid that blends essential oils, fixatives, alcohol, and ethyl acetate, used to give objects (usually parts of the human body) a lasting and pleasant scent. Essential oils are extracted from flowers and plants through distillation or enfleurage, and can also be obtained from fragrant organic matter. Fixatives are used to combine various different fragrances, including balsam, ambergris, and secretions from the scent glands of civets and musk deer. The concentration of alcohol or ethyl acetate depends on whether it is perfume, eau de toilette, or cologne. Shelf life of fragrances: Depends on the storage environment. Stored in a dark, cool place, it can last for a long time, even decades or centuries.
After driving a Mercedes for so many years, I've always loved their fragrance system. It does contain some essential oil components, but it's not pure essential oil. Mercedes uses specially designed fragrance capsules that blend natural essential oils with some synthetic fragrances. This ensures the scent lasts longer without evaporating too quickly, while also avoiding risks of clogging the car's air conditioning system or causing allergies. Every time you start the car, the fragrance gently diffuses from the vents, creating a premium feel without being overpowering. If you want to change the scent, Mercedes' official website offers different options, like woody or oceanic fragrances, and installation is simple. Of course, using pure essential oils alone in the car carries higher risks. Mercedes' design is very thoughtful, and I recommend owners regularly clean the vents to maintain optimal performance.
