This time of year mine smells of: chicken sheds; oilseed rape; cut grass and every now and them BBQs and wood smoke - just get the top off and breathe the air :lol:

I never understood air fresheners in cars... why would your car smell bad inside? If it smells funny doesn't that suggest dodgey heating or something in the car that smells? And if the smell doesn't go when you open the window (or open the roof indeed!) surely you need to take a look for sources of the whiff?
My personal opinion.... I wouldn't want to sit in a poodle parlour!

California scents - Coconut. Set the opening to half way and put behind the drivers seat. It's subtle. Not overpowering like their other flavors. The thing with scents/fragrances is that it's down to what you like.

I was only discussing this the other day with a colleague. Whilst they seem to have gone by the wayside in the UK, our French cousins still have them apparently. He is going to pick me some up when he's next there.

Other than that it's Jelly Belly fresheners FTW.

Recently picked up a couple of cans of "Blast" from the Autosmart van, bubblegum and "cool" (Davidoff Coolwater) Bloody hell those things are powerful, and the smell lasts for days with a quick 1 sec blast..
