Default Anyone using air fresheners?

Happy new year fellow 3IS drivers. I'm sure we all love that new car scent but eventually it don't last forever. Is anyone here using air fresheners? I can't stand the hanging trees. If I were to use air fresheners, I would go with the black vent inserts that folds in (most inconspicious). I often advise against using the infamous hanging trees. I wish there was a linen cotton smell. I would get those.

Interesting thread. I like to use air freshners that not only have a scent but also absorb bad odors.

check these out. mad jdm yo

I'd say it's more like a large urinal cake, lol. You take the film off and throw the plastic tray under your passenger seat. Replace when you no longer smell it. They last a good long time.

I'm gonna try Perks vent wrap clean linen. My reason is because it blends in with the vents and it won't look out of place. I'm OCD when it comes to clean look.

New car smell is popular but it doesn't smell like a new can IMO. There is no "one"new smell. I literally just found after searching.

Yankee candle makes these little air fresheners that are the shape of a candle jar and you can put it somewhere hidden or hang it normal under the rear view mirror. They have clean linen scent which is what I currently use. I also put the freshener on the backseat vents in front of the middle seat since no one ever sits back there in my car and most people can't sit in the middle seat.

I have a similar scent (JDM Squash ftw) box underneath my seat along with a bag of activated charcoal underneath the passenger seat.
