As the trend toward holistic wellness continues, Lincoln introduces a groundbreaking feature in the 2024 Nautilus: a digital scent collection designed to invigorate the driving experience. The Lincoln Digital Scent system offers seven curated fragrances that tap into the power of aromatherapy, creating a calm, personalized atmosphere for drivers and passengers alike.
Lincoln’s engineers and designers delved into the intricate connection between the senses and overall well-being. Through this research, they developed the Digital Scent feature, recognizing the influence scent has on mood, memory, and emotional well-being. As Flore Tramblin, Lincoln’s visualization designer, explained, “Scent is one of the five senses that has one of the strongest connections to memory and emotion, playing a significant role in creating a relaxing experience for our clients on the road.”
The Lincoln Digital Scent collection includes the following seven aromas:
- Mystic Forest: Cedarwood blends with rich patchouli, amber, and a burst of yuzu citrus.
- Ozonic Azure: Fresh freesia combines with aromatic patchouli and hints of spice.
- Violet Cashmere: A lush mix of violet, grapefruit, and golden citrus.
- Cloud Balsam: Pine needles, oak moss, crushed tonka beans, and vanilla create a revitalizing aroma.
- Serene Seashore: Melon, lily, musk, and lemon offer a radiant, aquatic fragrance.
- Twilight Embers: Patchouli, jasmine, fresh apple, and leather undertones create a warm, enchanting scent.
- Sunlight Retreat: Sandalwood and rose blend with red fruit and balsamic notes for a bright, uplifting fragrance.
The scents, developed in collaboration with expert perfumers, are IFRA-certified to ensure safety and quality. Each fragrance cartridge comes equipped with a microchip, which allows users to control the scent through the vehicle’s center stack touchscreen. Drivers can select specific scents, adjust the intensity, and even set up personalized profiles to customize the experience for each journey.
One of the most innovative aspects of the Digital Scent system is its independent functionality from the vehicle’s heating and cooling systems, giving drivers full control over when and how they engage with the scents. Additionally, the cartridges undergo extensive testing in extreme temperatures to ensure performance in various climates, making them suitable for all Nautilus drivers.
For those looking to elevate their driving experience, the Digital Scent cartridges are available on Lincoln’s accessories page, redeemable via Lincoln Access Rewards, or easily purchased using the in-vehicle QR code. With the Digital Scent feature, Lincoln continues to redefine what it means to deliver luxury—through both innovation and sensory delight.
