VR6 0 Posted March 9, 2010 As per title really. Looking to buy a new air freshener for the car and thought I'd see what the forum opinion was. Personally, I'm leaning towards something akin to a 'new car smell' but I hate the sort of toxic smell that makes you want to vomit every time you sit in the car because it smells like a skunk's 9 day old boxer shorts. So any suggestions? :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted March 9, 2010 The new car one from California Scents is great, as is the Yankee Candle leather one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted March 9, 2010 "New Car Smell" Magic Tree... my favourite car fragrance to be honest! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny777 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Aaaaaall about the Magic Tree's yo. :lol: I go through them 1 every 2 or 3 weeks. Bubbleberry at the moment, Black Ice is pretty nice and is New Car Scent. Vanilla and Orange one too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 0 Posted March 9, 2010 This is the thing, I was going to get something like a magic tree but I wasn't sure if this was maybe frowned on these days and thought there might be some sort of modern day equivalent :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted March 9, 2010 I like the scent of a freshly skinned goat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moneypit23 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Stick a fresh vanilla pod in the heater vents. Lovely :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revilo 0 Posted March 9, 2010 tesco used to do a gorgeous one called ocean fresh, not sure if you can still get it. makes sense to put one straight in the intake bit under the bonnet. NIce call with the vanilla pod! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Not getting why anyone wants an air freshener full stop. Think they all smell naff! cant beat a neutral nothingness but maybe i'm just a boring git :lol: like the smell of leather in me VR though and WD40 in me 8v as i have to keep squirting it in the bay to make it start :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted March 9, 2010 See I'm with Kip on this one generally. Never buy them but when I bought my runabout the guy had a fairly nice smelling air freshener thing in it so I figured I could see what the forum through before splashing out on such extravagance.

revilo 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Despite liking various freshers, i dont actually have one. Just cleaned and treated the leather, so enjoying that at the moment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted March 9, 2010 i always like the 'just cleaned smell' doesn't happen much or last long on mine tho :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted March 9, 2010 never had them.. car smell of leather..... you could wizz down to tesco and get some rotting fish and put that in your vents ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted March 9, 2010 I use a odour neutraliser air freshner and it really does work. But does also have a nice smell to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Or if you like the leather smell gliptone actually do a leather smell air freshener Lol! Quality idea. get em off the bay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just keep the car clean inside (no food rule in my vr as well) and it'll stay smelling nice and fresh...usually with a hint of heavy braking in mine! As a beside, I think a lot of VWs smell very similar up to about '98.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 11 Posted March 9, 2010 new car magic tree is a winner everytime.. put mine on the rear seatbelt holder though so the smells not too overpowering and the trees not in the way.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Dude 0 Posted March 10, 2010 I buy those fruity round ones from Halfrauds, iirc they are called Pogo. Not a big fan of other flavours, but a nice orange or lemon smells good. Of course I have this on display permanently, even tho it doesn't smell anymore. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
