Default Which air freshener do you use?

Hello fellow members, after 3 months of having my car, the new car smell is almost gone. I wanted to know what kind of air freshener you all use. Please provide links to the product if you can. Thanks.

If your new car smell is gone, you need one of those:

My Wife had one of those Yankee Candle things in her Honda Accord... left it in the center console and it ate into the leather or plastic or whatever that stuff was.

I second the recommendation for Griot's Garage Leather Interior Car Scent. I love the smell of leather. I've also heard good things about their New Car Scent, but I haven't personally used it.

I use Yankee Candle's car gels. They hang quite nicely from the rear view but you can rig them so they are totally behind the mirror and not in the line of view. Depending on my mood, it is either:

Clean Cotton or Sun and Sand.

I use the california car scents - I just place one in the drink holder section. They actually do scents that are similar to aftershave so you can have your car smell likr ck one, hugo boss sport or Armani. Dude its 2008 us men have to be metrosexual now. Suffice to say girls like the smell!

I've never used an air freshener product in any of my cars before; they never smelled bad. I might recommend one for my wife for her 4 year old Odyssey that she uses to transport our kids. All the old fries under the seats and melted chocolate candy in the carpet...

I went and got a set of lexus plastic floor mat covers and it totally boosted that new car smell. My car is 10 months old and still has the new car smell. I would condition the leather , it might help

I got my GS 350 in December of '06 and, although not as strong, it still has a new car smell. I think this has to do with the fact that I never drive with my windows down.

I do find, however, that using a leather conditioner like the one sold at Lexus dealerships does leave a nice scent. Personally, I've never been a fan of air fresheners.
