New Baby Vs. New Car Smell

As a kid, if I rode in a vehicle for more than an hour, I was likely to get carsick. Thanks be to ginger ale and pretzels for many of my travel woes over the years and for Mom for introducing both to my diet. I eventually outgrew my carsickness but not my sensitivity to stinky things in cars, especially my old VW that kind of smells like wet dog on rainy days. Take new car smell. It's really dried glue and plastic that people huff appreciatively during a test drive. Sometimes it's the leather.

Then there are babies - who when fresh from a bath smell particularly good. As I was washing baby's clothes in preparation for her arrival, one thing was missing. That intoxicating baby smell. Part of it is because the baby isn't here yet. But also the perfumes used in detergent smell kinda good. But to be on the safe side, I'm using detergent without dyes or chemicals.

So which do you prefer?

  • New baby smell
  • New car smell
  • I like both equally
  • I never held a baby but "baby" is what I call my car
