Smells like the CX-X3 but last 2x longer if not 3x. Mine has been in the car for 6 months and people can still smell 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.
+1 for me. A good interior detailing including steaming the carpets (rentals at the supermarket are generally cheap or a little green machine) should go along way. Change the cabin air filter and while you are at it get a heating/air system cleaner like the one from 1Z einszett (http://detailersdomain.com/carcarepr...maCleaner.html) and that might taken care of the problem for a good long while.

Just never been a fan of covering over anything with more chemicals in my lungs

Do the makers of the squash air freshener do other vegetables/fruits like durian? Asian peeps know what I'm talking about!

i'm thinking it's time for overhaul cleaning,try to wipe or shampoo all the seats then change the air/cabin filter. after those thorough cleaning that's the best time to put a nice air freshener you'll see it will last last last a long period of time and it will be a pure freshness smell. oops don't forget the sidings and dashboard with armorall........good luck

I've had it before and it doesn't taste as bad as it smells. You should see the people in vietnam eat this stuff like they're trying to motorboat it

Try to shampoo and condition your car interior first also change out your cabin filters, and use a soap bar dish with your favorite soap bar and put under the seat.

LOL! It's true the taste isn't as bad, but I still run for it the moment the family cracks one open

Any "MY SHALDAN" scents are awesome and last you MONTHS. I **** you not! Oriental/Asian markets usually have them.
