What is that vintage smell? Seriously, is it just me, or do our cars smell better than a vintage German car?

The leather, plastics are creating a wonderful sweet vintage smell. I don't know the cause, but I love it. Anyone else enjoy the smell of a aged Galant VR4?

I feel like its the leather. Back in the early 2000's when I had both my GSX and my VR4 I noticed a distinct smell difference between the two. Obvious difference was the GSX had cloth seats vs the leather of the VR4. And I agree I loved the smell of the VR4. Best part was smelling that smell again when I bought another one back after 10yrs of not having one. It was like a time machine for my first.
