whats a good air freshener for my LS430

anyone got a link to one i can order? i stopped by the auto store and they had 2 to choose from, so i went by my old full service car wash and they no longer sell any there

the auto shop had one that was like extreme cherry and the other was like summer hawaiian citrus or something. i almost bout the citrus one but feared i would just throw it out after smelling it, since it was sealed in a car and couldn't be smelled through the can... thanks,

ideally i want one that smells VIP worthy and not just an overpowering musky or fruity fake smell, and i know i can't be the only one with these requirements.

I don't know if it is still offered, I saw these at the Lexus dealer in Kagoshima back in '08. They had smaller bottles at ~1890Y.

and leave it in the center console, when the air is on it helps to distribute the smell through out the cabin.

I bought a used car for my wife and it had a Yankee Candle freshener hanging in it, It was bought from a male and it smelled really good and subtle. They have vent sticks also.

Order the Griots leather spray.... smells awesome. A while back we had this discussion and someone had the idea of soaking a sponge in it and placing it in the drawer in front of the passenger seat.

yeah i used to regularly clean my leather and the scent actually always made the car smell good, well my wife mentioned about 4 months ago that since she had known me (8 years) that my car had always smelled like that specific leather cleaner and for the first time it didn't. i realized that i am not cleaning my car as regularly as i used to and now need to resort to an air freshener. the car is still clean looking, but the leather isn't as smooth and it doesn't smell like it used to.

thanks for the info, i think i will be ordering the csx one from above and used to get these back in japan at the autobox but haven't seen them in the states in a long long while.


ordered,, thanks and i was actually picturing this dang cs-x3 when creating this thread and couldn't remember the name just the vague memory of what cs-x3 thing looked like.

I've found that if you use the Lexus cleaner and follow with the Lexus conditioner, that it smells new again.

you don't even have to buy the complete set... only need the refills and throw them in your center console. you'll be good for a few months
I like the round glass ones too, has the the same smell but last much longer than the CX3s. Just limited as to where you can put it....

Just purchased the new Febreeze car air freshener. Sadly to say, it does not smell as good as the normal product used for fabrics. I have to keep the vent blower on low because the scent is too strong even when the clip on is attached to the rear vents between the front seats.

^ throw them in your center console on the top shelf. it'll distribute just enough and help last a little longer.

that is a good idea.

I dont think it is, unless you plan on leaving your armrest up and open all the time. Otherwise youll basically have an extremely fresh, strong smelling center console and maybe a hint of that smell lingering in the rest of the car.

It also wont last any longer this way, itll last the same amount of time only it will be wasting away in a location where you cant smell it.
