Favourite car air freshener?

[PJW]

I know a lot of us will just throw in any old £1 freshener and thats that.

My personal favourite is a discontinued Magic Tree with a shitty face on it, that smells like sour apple. Yum.

Anyway, i find that most magic trees end up being out of smell after a few weeks, and i only end up getting more. Has anyone had any more joy with those ones in cans? Anyone got any perticular favourites that have a good shelf life and dont smell like a pound shop?

I have a California scents lemon one in the BRM, its awesome. Smells really fresh and its been in there a few weeks.

Out of the Magic Tree ones it has to be New Car

I always use magic tree vanilla (yellow one)

I always think it loses it's fragrance after a short while but everytime my friends Missus gets into my car she always says it smells really strong of air freshener.


Vanilla is the best pong anyway

Yeah a lot of people have mentioned those california scents, i just got one off ebay for £2.15 delivered, apparently the best one -

Fancied a change, i agree about the magic trees though. Although i once had an audi where the previous owner had put all old trees in the cubby hole in the back parcel shelf. Car smelt amazing with about 50 magic trees in there!

Hot oil from T16 open breather or

Fuel vapour from leaky R8 tank

Do I get a prize?

Magic forest hanging off the rear view ftw! Although no vanilla ones they make me feel sick! Black ice ones rule

[PJW]

Or 'boiling coolant'

[Punx0r]

Leather seats

[BlueRover]

Open Window is my fave (and it costs nowt too !).

[black_sunrise]

always liked the magic tree black ice (i think?) the black one anyway.

california scents are awesome, well most of them. i got the vanilla one and it isnt very strong but others ive tried are good and long lasting.

[harland292]

Magic tree - Black Ice also

[Vard66]

I like the smell of old Rovers with leather interiors, so can see no need for an air freshener.

Magic tree - Black ice (black one) & new car smell (blue one)

They are awesome.. But i find they dont last long ?

Be honest though

You got this from me right

[harkins77]

Not only is the vanilla my favourite. I got the small spray can that I just squirt onto the magic tree to extend it's life as well.

It's kinda stopped the forest from dangling from the Oh poop handles in the back as I used to get when I had them up.

What spray? Is it good stuff? I might have to get some.. Saves having to get a new air freshener every 2 weeks at £2 a pop..

[harkins77]

Mine is a very small can but I've had it for years as it takes just a minute amount to make the car smell.

This, I actually do. It's a running joke between me and Rich - every time one of us bought a new Rover, the other would make sure to buy a pack of Wether's to put in the driver's door pocket.

[PJW]

Surely when you stack it they become a fatal flying object that can kill a man?

[rovex]

Gliptone real leather scent. Having leather seats doesnt mean your car smells like leather. This freshener actually smells like real leather from 50 years ago, not modern coated leather. Odd to start with, but people do comment on how 'expensive' my car smells

[Deckz]

Magic Tree - Black Ice

[carl747]

Jelly bean

[harland292]

The smell of Cold Hg Failure as it comes through your air vents when its meant to be on Hot

[Roboscot]

Another magic tree black ice here

Nice smell and it's the only thing that would overpower the existing wet labrador smell that the previous owner had installed in my shogun.

[russ220]

California scents - Coronado cherry

[Dave_ZS]

Gotta be black ice tbh. Or a cooked head/mayo

Edit: the lingering smell of burnt clutch in the works Transit does it for me aswell

[PJW]

Hawaiian Tropic smells alright, nowt flash. Should smell better than mouldy ZR.

[Colinbcfc1]

California scents theres a few different scents of them I like an they last ages
