I have the "Luxury New Car" scent. You can usually find it at Kragan's.

I don't remember the brand, but it's the one where you clip onto the front air vent. I don't like hanging air fresheners. Also this scent looks classy, it's black and beige.

I generally find that if it smells good, I could give a flying hairy f*** what anyone might think.
That said, there is a white/clear one they sell at WALMART and sometimes advance auto that smells pretty neutral but nice. lol.

Yankee Candle Midsummer Nights Dream....bitches love it...

CG Leather scent ftw! Stuff smells just like new leather, their "New Car Smell" is alright too, but a little sharp for my tastes. I do want to see what their "Stripper Scent" smells like though.

Works well, but don't spray it on leather/vinyl.

+1. Good stuff and very economical. I get them at the local asian supermarket for about $2.50 each. Each can lasts for about 2-3 months.

Call me cheap but these little guys. It does not actually smell like leather. Smells more like...a cologne of some sort? No clue how to describe it. $.99 for three at Walmart. Hang them on the seat belt button thing between the seat and center console so they aren't visible.



Yes. This. I had it but haven't found a place to buy more.

winkyyy

squash ftw. i use a brand called treefrog. not sure if many of you are fond with it though. its not that expensive and works well. i got mines for $3. i cant really smell it anymore cause i got used to the smell but people that come into my car say they smell the squash.

What's wrong with the natural scent of the car's interior? The leather takes on a pleasant aroma as it ages and the plastics are not bad, either. So unless the people getting in the car stink or bring something in with them, the car shouldn't become foul.

However, here's a little trick someone I worked with years ago would do with his car. Find a body soap you like; one that has a scent you find favorable. Then get a small porcelain tray, or something similar, to hold the soap and put it under one of the front seats.. unwrapped, of course. It will scent the car.

Good idea.

I realized that after several years of no air freshener combined with not really doing any treating/cleaning of the interior, along with me sometimes riding in the car after a workout, added up to making the car smell not as good as I would like. I like that soap idea.

SouthernBoy

Yeah, that'll make a difference. On occasion, I can detect a hint of new car smell even after seven years. I do have an elevated sense of smell - really, and it makes some people nuts when I tell them what I can smell.

The soap trick does work, but the guy I mentioned use a soap that was nasty, in my opinion. Probably something that has a more natural or perhaps an outdoorsy smell might be the way to go.

Black Ice air freshener tree is what I use. I just leave them hanging on the light switch stem.

You can also put fabric softener sheets under the front seats. I used to put 2 under both seats and that would last a month.

If you want to deodorize you whip use apple cider vinegar in a plastic container no more then an inch filled in it. Leave it sitting on the pass side floor overnight. Do this for like 2-3 days. Remember to put the lid on when driving.

SouthernBoy

Yeah, but do you want your car to smell like that? Could attract the wrong attention.

I like White Peach. Here's a link:

Very strong and last for a few months. When you first get it, only poke a few holes in it. When the scent dies down, then you can peel the cover off.

I carry a Fabreeze spray everywhere I go...

Are you sure about that cause I have read somewhere that even though that pleasant odor that a new car gives off is actually not good for you to breathe in. Those are the gases releasing from the platics, leather/vinyl and rubber so on.

Hmm that sounds like it might smell pretty good also. Do you follow the instructions on the plastic bag they come in? You're only suppose to partially take it out at first. And then a little more week after week.

SouthernBoy

I said it smells good.. not that it was good for you. I've heard that, too but I never worry about it.

My wife uses an apple scent from Galant (?? sp), which is a non-liquid freshener that comes in a cigarette-case sized container that can be mounted/placed under a seat in the minivan.

I don't use anything in the TL-- yet.
In large quantities, the various volatile chemicals that give off the "new car" smells can increase the risk of cancer, allergic reactions and various respiratory ailments, but the amount of those chemicals we are exposed to in new cars is infinitesimally small.
IDK if anyone has even tried to do a peer-reviewed study on the effect of such small quantities.
