+1 on the giga squash air freshner! I use those on all my cars! the giga one isn't as strong as the air spencer one....I usually just turn on the vents to spread the smell out! Here's the direct link to them

Be careful with any of those that clip to the vent area.....if they leak at all it will strip the silver paint off the vents and then you have a mess.

I bought the lexus leather shampoo/conditioner from sewell it gave it a nice fresh smell and I also keep the Bahama Bag Scent Pouch Air Freshener Tahitian Vanilla they smell very good and last a while can be placed under the seat too.

They can't leak cuz the refills are like chalk pieces...no liquid at all

Don't use the liquid for the vent, they leak and leave a permanent stain on ur vent!

hell, most air fresheners can do that. I had one of these little trees u get free from a car wash get all liquidy on a hot day and a drop hit my dash, its terrible. I personally use the gel yankee candle ones, as gay as that may seem, lol.

yankee candle smells good but they fade away pretty fast... at least to me.

Maybe I'm out of touch, but I've NEVER used any sort of freshener or deoderants in any car I've ever owned and have never had any odors to deal with. I don't smoke or eat in my cars, and have no pets or kids so maybe that accounts for most of it. In fact I got in my 2006 IS350 last weekend and my wife and I both said it still smelled like a new car. No air fresheners for me, if you have an odor problem than you should eliminate the source and not attempt to just cover it up, imo.

I prefer the scent of a clean car myself, maybe a little whiff of soft, supple leather

some prefer to smell fruits or vegetables though

to each their own

coffe beans under the seat. Put it in a small sachet. Absorbs odors too.
