Air Freshener Recommendations

goram · 11-13-2021, 11:47 AM

Anyone got any recommendations for a subtle smelling air freshener? Ideally looking to recreate that new car smell but without spending £60k on a replacement for the 335d!

Cheers

Was about to post the same link. Tried loads of scents in the quest for the "new car smell" and this is the closest I've got. Couple of sprays on the rear mats once a week and it smells lovely.
As any smell, it's pointless to read reviews. Seems you either love it or hate it

Just ordered some of that CG stuff - can't wait to give it a try…

Don't laugh…

For a subtle scent use the BMW Air freshener, its so subtle you'll hardly notice it. Though it does a fair job of masking cigarette smoke. I stopped but the wife hasn't.

I have to admit , Black ice is a oldy but a goody

I use Black Ice Magic Trees too, and buy several at a time do I don't run out. I do find that they lose their smell quite quickly, so looking for something a bit more long lasting.

Cheers all - I had seen the Chemical Guys before - your endorsements were all I needed!

The Chemical Guys leather scent is nice too...

Very pleased with this, not quite a new car smell, but pleasant enough!

Note to self, don't splash it around too much or it's a bit too much, like a 15 year old en route to a school disco!

The Java days!

Actually I’m surprised they’ve not done a car scent range. Maybe they have 🤷🏻*♂️

Another vote for the BMW natural air "vent fit freshener" subtle but works well.

I'll give this a go when I run out of the other stuff. Might be sooner rather than later, Mrs Goram keeps moaning that the motor smells of marzipan
