BMW air freshener

Hey guys,
When I bought my car used it came with a bmw air freshener with a blue insert in it that smells quite a bit like cologne and matches really with the natural scents of the car. I've been looking everywhere for a replacement and bought the fresh air blue sticks from bmw, and ordered the discontinued tonic sticks and neither are the correct scent. Does anyone know what this illusive scent stick is called that smells like cologne so I can it this search to an end? Thanks so much!

If it's light blue it's Sparkling Raindrops. But check here:

It's the one I use too. Ive tried them all and it's the only one I like.

One of them, when my mother got in my car she asked if I "gave a ride recently to an old whorehouse madam". I am still wondering why she would know what that would smell like

Be careful - if you have allergies/reactions to perfume or cologne, these will make you sick.

As already stated, the light blue is sparkling raindrops and smells quite pleasant.

The darker blue is energizing tonic and smells like cologne...it can be a little strong at first.

Wish I could get what the Detailer of my e92 used before I bought it. Very warm earthy Leathery smell, reaked of pure class and wealth. But it wore off eventually and wasn't one of those sticks (wasn't anything solid I could find in the car in fact). Went to the mens cologne dept of every major store in the area, including Neman Marcus and Sachs thinking it might have been previous owner...no luck. Glad you at least found yours.

Use the old trick - put a nice baseball first baseman's mitt on the floor on the back.
