Created by Recipe and directed by Glenn Kitson through Iconoclast UK, this wonderfully satisfying and understated spot for new vehicle dealer Auto Trader celebrates that deliciously intoxicating new car smell.  

Brought to life by subtle yet immersive ASMR-like sound design, the film, titled New Car Smell, centres around the moments that proud car owners step inside the sanctuary of their brand-new vehicle for the first time.  

From the sound of softly closing car doors to the feeling of their fingers on its untouched fabric, Kitson puts us right in the car with them, capturing the experience so vividly that we can almost taste that wonderful new whip aroma.
