I still dont get why you call it rice for? the air freshner is meant to be smelled and the more central the location of it the better the smell will be. You also realize that the case is designed to be opened and closed. When you leave it outside the case the cartridge dries out very quick, plus it makes it smell so strong that you can smell it ouside the car with the windows closed. You dont like the case fine, but dont call it rice. Also, using that term "rice" is racist in conatation if you are not asian, but if you are asian is just ignorant.

New car smell comes primarily from outgassing of chemicals (volatile organic compounds) from the plastics, adhesives and sealers. That's why the new car smell is particularly strong after you've parked your car out in the sun all day.



Leather smells nice too, but it's a distinctly different scent.
I thought I remembered hearing that Thanks

I dont know but, anyone that thinks an AIR FRESHENER is rice....is confused with the term and meaning of rice.....Im not targeting one person at all, anyone in general.

If you get the under the seat kind then when you turn on your seat ventaltors it will blow the air (freshened air) up through the seat and into the air.......I think thats what I'm going to do...

I love my air spencers. They are easy to find. Just go to a korean store and they also sell refills so that is always a +. I leave mine under the seat and everyone loves the smell.
