Nothing like wearing that “new car smell” wherever you go. Chicks dig it.
Twotone
Eau de bailout.
In keeping with Cadillac tradition, the scent should be a mix of brash and flashy and without real substance while being something that you could wear in an old folks home.
Oh, and there should be a considerable discount off list available.
Does it smell like desperation?
After hearing small-block V8 exhaust on a bone stock Escalade, I’m thinking Cadillac bottled the wrong thing. Every iPod needs that sound.
Why not just start a whole new division called “Cadillac Design” and offer everything from clothes, to perfumes, to cell phones?
Wait, wait, is this Autoblog?
What exactly does something that was once great and now nearly consigned to the ash heap of history smell like?
***Why not just start a whole new division called “Cadillac Design” and offer everything from clothes, to perfumes, to cell phones?***
To be fair, IIRC Porsche Design was started by a Porsche family member distinct from the Porsche cars.
And whoever’s in charge of Cadillac licensing should be fired…..the perfume idea is lame.
Hard to imagine that the stench of death will be a big seller in the fragrance world.
It should smell of hot oil dripping from a stuffed Northstar V8.
I still remember the smell of my dad’s 1962 Fleetwood when it died crossing the desert one summer vacation. Buzzards circled overhead.
A bad idea compounded by terrible timing.
The Government (both sides of the border) used our money for this? Now THAT stinks !
This goes along perfectly with their fabulous commercials, the ones with the lady purring about how her car turns her on and end showing the bumper sticker that says “My other car is a Vibrator.”
Young woman sitting next to me on the bus: “So what’s that scent you’re wearing?”
Me: “Oh, it’s Cadillac.”
Young Woman: “You mean, like, the car?”
Me: “Yep, the car.”
Young Woman: “Like the one my grandparents drive that smells like pipe smoke and old-man farts?”
Me: “That’s the one.”
Young Woman: “You smell like pipe smoke and old-man farts.”

Probably just re-bottled and rebadged Old Spice.
I guess the smell try to emulate sophisticated european perfume but fail because it is too bold? A look at me perfume? Smell my bling-bling?
Apparently one of their English-as-a-(distant)second-language execs doesn’t understand what we mean by “Perfuming the pig”…
Doubles as Ben-Gay.
When Porsche does it it gets a product review, but when Cadillac does it it gets a WTF.
WTF!!
Gimme’ Eau de Billy Goat any day.
Pimp in a bottle! Really???
@ Juniper:
Porsche doesn’t use government money to produce their misguided products.

Do you know Cadillac used govt money? Are you sure they were not payed by a fragrance company to use the name?
Do you have any facts to back up your remarks?
Given the status value of New GM I’d be hard pressed (or reasonably drunk) to believe a parfum company would pay to use the Caddy name.
I’m inclined to think somebody bought NOS of Brittany Spears’ Eau de Pew and re-badged it– with GM paying for the packaging.
“It is produced under license from General Motors, by Beauty Contact, a company based in Dubai,” says the NYT.
It’s already available in the discount bin of the net—eBay.
Speaking of Porsche Design / Automotive Fragrances:

I’ll take it upon myself to review this one as well, if I can get my hands on it.
What is up with all these premium brands trying to crossover? Last thing I want is Porsche or Cadillac cologne…they make cars!! Stick with it. Once you smell Hugh Parsons or Creed frangrances you will dump that bottled piss Ferrari Red down the sink.
For Cadillac’s market, GM will need a version that can be administered intravenously.
I’m holding out for the other platform sharing fragrances by Buick, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, and GMC that contain the exact same list of ingredients, but sold in slightly different bottles, all competing against each other for shelf space at Wal-mart.
it smells like a florida retirement village?
Bet it smells like my tax dollars going up in flames.
