long lasting air scent

i know it is not related to acura topic but anyone knows good brand air scent that lasts. I bought one from asian market and lasted only for may be 2 weeks and since then I forgot that it exists in my car. My buddy from Singapore couple of years ago brought one a really good one that lasts a hell of a lot, he used to tell me that I cant find this good one from States. I can't remember its brand either.

Where do you live? If you live in Cali and in hte OC area, Asian Garden Mall in westminster has some good ones that last a really long. I got mine from some CD place, it was $7 for 1. Bought it last year in June and i can still smell it to this day.

I got a can of this raspberry gel stuff at Wal-Mart a month ago and it's still going strong.. and that is through a bunch of hot days here in FL. You just peel off the cover of it and I stuck it under my driver's seat kind of wedged in between the wires going to the seat.

Looks kinda like this

I like my car to smell good. I just clean the cabin air filter real good. Wipe down the dash and panels down with some interior wipes and use Klima clean down the vents.

The yankee candle gels work pretty well. The vanilla one smells really good and lasts pretty long

maybe not the longest lasting but my personal favorite are the little ones that go into the airvents. they are a few dollars at autozone and are very effective while giving your dash a little color.

^^^ Those are good. Theyre very slim too.
I normally use my Shaldan (japan) They sell it everywhere over here for about $3.50 fits right in the cup holder too!

i am a fan of the new little trees "air wash" - they give off a scent and get rid of funky odors in the car really well. ended up sticking some in the bathroom and cats litter box they worked so good.

I really like the squash smell. I also have that one but it smells too much like lemon though. They do last about a month. Also if you live in a place that is always hot like me, do not get liquid type. Those stuff won't last long cause of the heat.
