In some cases the temporary seal at the top of the fragrance bottle isn't removed at delivery, hopefully it's something simple like that.

I've been driving a W222 since 2017 and I've never detected the fragrance to any degree to justify paying for it.

Agreed. I've only used mine twice. Even on low my wife and I didn't care for it, too strong.

I will say that my sensitivity to smell has decreased greatly as I've aged. I'm sure that is MY problem and not the car.

have you managed to have the problem solved? I have the same issue. The fragrance used to work but since a couple of weeks ago… nothing. I just bought a new fragrance, and still nothing. Please let us know if there is a fix.

I really loved this feature in my 750, unfortunately it was deleted on my car. I was willing to forego this since everything else was still there lol. Hopefully there is a way to retrofit as Ive seen some EU places selling this retrofit kit from MB

I’ve never turned it on in any of my new S classes. I prefer the scent of the natural nappa leather.

I have sensed it at times so on second thought my sense of smell is not totally gone because there are times I detected the fragrance but it is so rare I have almost forgotten the feature exists.

Does that mean you have it on al the time? If so, it’s probably been empty for some time

Mine was deleted on my 22 W223. I really didn't use it on my S65 or my Maybach. You could barely smell it when it was on.

I don't like cologne, perfume, scented candles, basically anything that smells but isn't a steak on the grill. I would so trade the fragrance for the kick to open the trunk.

I had the fragrance gizmo on my 2015, 2018 & 2020 W222’s. I never even once inserted the perfume canister. The only thing missing from my S580 is the fragrance thing, which was fine by me. My wife is worse than I am on this subject. We like our cars to be clean, fresh and free of fragrances.

Unfortunately I wasn't clever enough to pick a wife that shared my predilection for a scent free environments.

Similar for me too! Three S classes and never used it ever except during car delivery. Nothing like the scent of high quality leather. Then again, I could understand someone using it if car is old and not smelling up to snuff,,,pardon the pun
