Default Best car air freshener

What's the best one you guys have found? I'm fed up of vent air fresheners which last about two days before they wear off!

Black Ice magic tree

Can't grumble for 44p, even if it does smell a bit like a cross between lynx and toilet duck

Thats not true - it's because you can no longer smell it but to people who've never been in your car they can - it's like a house smell, you cant smell your own house unless you've been on holliday for 2 weeks

Vanilla Magic tree without doubt

Yeah vanilla magic tree, or the new car scent one. I buy one every few weeks. I also ram a couple of the 'gel' type house ones under both seats, my car smells alot nicer than me.

i have them ambi pure ones that go in the vent prob's one of the best i'v come across and last week's, i'v upgraded mine to this twin one so once you get used to the smell you can swap it over and have another nice smell for abit, it's been in my car for well over a month and is still going strong i had to buy the crappy smelling one though because that's all they had left, the one smelt like bark lol but wasn't horrible, i'm amazed no one has mentioned it yet, there the norm with every one round here, oh yea and these fiber block things there supposed to be good but will have to find the name

Magic Tree then its New Car Scent, or Strawberry but I've not seen one of those for ages!!

I get a wee plastic mesh bag with purple plastic bits in it from Halfrauds, its a couple of quid, but it smells really nice. Its also called Berry Blast or something like that.


Cheers,
Grant

vanilla magic tree was always a good smell but i remember my uncle use to buy the ones where it had pretty much naked ladies on when i was younger, every couple of weeks he'd buy another & show me (i was about 10 or so at the time)......Legend lol
