Default Best Air Freshener?

What have you all found to be the best air freshner, in terms of long lasting and smelling good? And where can I get them?

I just enjoy the leather-like smell from conditioning and cleaning my seats.

Using air fresheners like the Pine tree type are ghetto. Why do you need an air freshener anyway? If you don't eat in your car, carry a dog, or dig ditches for a living you don't need an air freshener. Keep it natural.

The best air freshener for me is the clean air that comes in when I roll down the windows while driving in the mountains.

This question came up before and a lot of people recommended the Squash scent from this JDM brand called Air Spencer...smells great and helps preserve that new car smell.

i like the leather conditioner smell. but if you want some good strong fruity smell.. then nothing can beat my shaldan. it's so strong that you can smell it outside the car hahah.

I got the stuff by the case from the asian grocery store before I got my IS350. Smells great without that "car-air-freshener" smell. I get the Apple scent. One can last quite a while. Gonna stick with the new car scent as long as I can for now.

I bought some crap that you stick in your vent. What a waste of $3.

I'm currently looking for a better alternative.

new car smell is the best if you do like everyone in the thread says you shoudln't have to use one for a while unless ur *** is just straight dirty. if you do the squash that fits air spencer is good but **** that case its rice rice baby. just buy the refill and put it under your seat works just as good.
