April 1, 2024 (press release) –

Pilot Flying J, the largest travel center network in North America, announced the brand’s first signature fragrance with the launch of Diesel Fuel, an eau de parfum. For those who are drawn to the distinct scent of fuel, this diesel forward fragrance will fast track imaginations to setting out on the open road with a tank full of fuel and a world full of possibilities. 

The limited-time scent is encased in a crimson-colored, iconic diesel pump-style glass bottle. Each spritz captures the unmistakable aroma of diesel fuel, a smell beloved by connoisseurs of heavy-duty trucks, fast cars and recreational vehicles.

“We captured nostalgia in a bottle,” said Adrienne Ingoldt, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Pilot Flying J. “With one whiff of Diesel Fuel cologne, professional drivers and travelers alike are instantly transported back to their most fond memories on the road.”

Diesel Fuel eau de parfum embodies the sweet, yet potent fumes of benzene and is formulated for all-day wear. Pilot Flying J hopes the new fragrance will spark joy among driving fans and is exploring additional scents that are synonymous with life on the highway.

“Whether it be at the pump or in-store, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to delight our guests, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of bringing this complex scent to market,” said Ingoldt. 

Pilot Flying J will launch the limited-time product at select participating locations on April 1, 2024.* To find nearby travel centers, download the myRewards Plus app.**
