The AIR-BALANCE Package is a unique feature offered by Mercedes-Benz, allowing drivers to fragrance the interior of their car for up to 1500 hours. The package includes a choice of four scents, each with its own special formulation, and is designed to be re-experienced rather than becoming immune to it, as can happen with perfume on the skin.

The AIR-BALANCE system is designed to prevent drivers from becoming immune to the scent, as can happen when you wear perfume on your skin. The scent pulses at three different 'intensities' for 10 minutes at a time, before switching off and quickly evaporating. This means it doesn't seep into the fabric of the car.
The four scents available are Downtown Mood, Silver Iris, Freeside and Dragon's Egg. Downtown Mood is a sheer, flowery fusion of jasmine and lilac, magnolia, rosewood and peach, on a soft and sensual base of ambergris, musk and cashmere. Silver Iris has leathery notes that blend with the luxury ambience of the car. Freeside is reminiscent of lemongrass and has a light, fresh, floral smell. Dragon's Egg is just a prototype at the moment.
