Default Air freshener/deodorizer?

Do you guys have any recommendations on an air freshener? I try to keep my car as clean as possible, but after 105k miles things are starting to smell a bit stale. I can't stand the extremely strong scents, so something light would be preferred.

Go to the asian supermarkets with the gift stores, and look for an aquatic and/or squash scent. There's many types but overall they are pretty light.

I've been a fan of the squash scent since high school

If I were you I would go with the little tree Forest Pine. There is nothing like coming out to your car after it's been baking in the sun for 8 hours and opening your door to the smell of a pine forest....ok....maybe not....let's rethink this...I HATE those pine fresheners. I'm actually not much of a car fragrance guy anymore but I used to love the pina colada type scents. Good luck and sorry I wasn't much help! :-)

Hey, does the squash smell like the one's in those big air spencer ones? I have the air spencer but it's so big I just throw it in the backseat so the smell doesn't really spread out. Do these giga ones work better? I was thinking about getting 2 for each vent there but I'm not sure how strong these are.
