Wink Lexus'es smelling like Japan - How are they doing that ?

For those of us who where once in Japan, they are things you will immediately associate Japan with. Some lights, some sceneries and typical scents and flavours.

I'm always surprised, when I'm trying out an old Lexus, how they are actually smelling like a Japan Ryokan hall in the midst of Kyushu. The LS400 was shocking for this, but even the IS300 I drove today had the same smell, but more subtle. Those cars where both a good 17 years old, how are the managing to put this scent in those cars. What is this smell ?

Could it be an air freshener under the seat?
