Recommendations for long lasting car air fresheners for two cars

[ShimmiedIntoLife]

I have just bought a nearly new car, first time since 2009 - the old one is still going strong now for DD. I would love to have a nice smelling air freshener in the both, I found that Yankee bottles do not really last. Any recommendations? Thank you.

just let you car smell of car instead of artificial chemicals!

DS has a little Joe one in his car - I didn’t realise it was an air freshener at first and wondered how the car always smells nice despite his feral gym kit etc. he has the blue one

I don't know anyone who has an air freshener in their car these days, seems like a very 90s thing! What exactly are you doing in there?!

Classic MN - one helpful post for two judgemental.

@NoYouCantComeToTheWedding The 90s are having a revival. I am driving long hours. Sometimes I have a snack and listen to podcasts.

I just use a basic Tesco card one that smells of fresh linen. I don't hang it in the main car cabin, it's in the hatchback and I use it to help disguise the stank of horses asses that is caused by my riding boots living in the car.

Rituals do Fab ones & they last

For something that sticks around longer than the usual cardboard trees, I’ve had good luck with little wax-based options
I’ve even snapped off a bit of the masculine room odor cubes in a car-safe warmer, and it kept both my cars smelling clean without that fake fruity whiff
Pair that with a quick weekly wipe of vents and fabrics, and the freshness hangs around much longer

No, they're disgusting. The new car smell will fade. And you do have windows that can be opened.
