    As a smoker with the window open, I guess anything mentioned above will be a waste of money

    Glypton Liquid Leather. It's not liquid and it's not leather but it's the only one that smells like leather. Very expensive, though, for a couple of bits of cardboard. Smells strongly for a couple of months or so,

    Blast by autosmart or Yankee candle car jars.

    Jelly belly are nice but just die after a day or two. California scents are my favorite. The gel ones seem to last longer but are hard to come by. The foam block ones do just fine though and still last a few months minimum. I have a cherry one in my boot thats a year old but my boot still smells of cherry.
    Back by no demand whatsoever.

    I go at it from a slightly different angle, I got a decent ioniser with fan that worked through a 12v adaptor, then I extended the cable so it can sit on the back shelf, the ioniser is good enough in itself but has a rag you can dip in various oils if you want the scent also blown through ( that connects to the fan). 20 quid for all in luxury for many years
  • I have recently tried Aromcom air fresheners , and to be hotest I was very surprised with their great quality for such a reasobanle price. Has anyone tried something from this company?

    Hmm, resurrecting a thread that's a year and a half old to sing the praises of ( your own ??? ) product ??? Would that be a spam-flavoured air freshener ?

    Another vote for California scents. Cherry lasts about a month and a half in summer, 2 months over Winter.
    Also a tip for the foam block ones, when you stop smelling them (around 2months)... cut them into a strip and put it in your air vent (wedged in the grill, not just dropped into the vent) you will be amazed at how much the smell kicks back up after!

    4months after I purchased one and ended up putting it in my vents (bought in December so it was cold which helped) my mate got in the car and asked where I got my cherry air fresher because it smelt so strong! :rotfl:

    Febreze is also excellent.
    Just the normal aerosol one.
    Though the AG products as mentioned by Scotsbob are also very good.

    Why does anybody need to scent their cars? Having breathing problems makes it impossible for me to ride in a car that smells of anything other than clean - likewise people who use those sprays or scented candles in their homes - just vacuum. dust and air. Clean really does smell best!
