There are so many different air fresheners that claim to be the longest lasting so I would like to ask forum members which ones they have found to be the longest lasting. I'm not asking about deodorizers, just air fresneners. Thanks.
 
Those classic "tree" air fresheners last a few weeks for me. Not sure how that compares...

Cheers!
 
The longest lasting "Tree" I've used is the "Black Ice" one. Lasted about a week and a half longer than all the other "Trees".
 
I love black ice, have them in most of my vehicles. I have other types of air fresheners in my Lexus that'll I'll post later, they smell delish all together and the smell lasts months.
 
SquashAir last for months. I change mine maybe twice a year.
 
Air Spencer's Squash lasts well.. if I had to though I love those Yankee Candle Car Jars :D
 
I used SoPure in the Buick at least three months ago and it kills any and all scents. Even when I spray with CG Stripper Scent its gone in minutes. So I guess the best scent is really no scent and lasts the longest.
 
I've got Air Spencer and I don't get more than about a month and a half...tops, and my car is brand new. Are there any sprays out there that last a long time?
 
I love California Scents Spillproof Organic Air Fresheners. Toss em underneath the seat and they last a long time, when the scent deteriorates just rotate the scent pads. I've had em last 4-5 months.

I love the Japanese and korean air fresheners and they do seem to go away after a month but I would argue that you just got used to them. When my wife gets in the car she can smell them even when I think they are dead.
 
Im using my shaldan (squash) they last like a month or more and smells good..
 
This just an idea and thought.

My wife put one of those little squaty body candles (about an inch or so high and inch diameter) in a holder (just to put something in it), after almost a year you can still smell it when you enter the living room.

Makes me wonder if something like that would work...tuck it under the seat?

Like I said just an idea...

I think that's because you get use to the smell. I have the squash air Spencer and after about a month I don't smell it but even after 4 months ppl will get into my car and compliment me on the "bubblegum" type smell and I'm always surprised because I haven't smelled it in months. Kinda like how we don't hear our fire alarm low battery beep after awhile cuz we are so use to it.

that is about my lifespan with stripper scent. too bad too because it smells great for the couple hours it lasts.
 
If you like leather scent, try the Gliptone Leather Scent Air Freshner.
 
I just found some Extra large/Longer lasting Black Ice Trees, curious to see how long these will last. They do smell really good. Also you have a good point about being used to the Air Spencer scent. But usually the first time I get in my car for the day I can detect an odor if the air freshener is still working well.
 
I spray "Ozium" in the ac vents every couple of weeks when I turn my car on, just spray it when you turn the air on circulate. Smells like lemons, not too strong and it neutralizes odors really well. I also use cedar wood blocks (the small ones) that are meant for closets. Really nice natural smell but not overwhelming. I'm not really into the flavors though, all those trees give me headaches. I used to put fabric softener sheets in my cabin air filter but I found it to give me a headache too. HTH

I usually use one of the 'trees' too, and especially like the black ice one.

One of the ladies I work with uses a sta-soft refill (here in South Africa we get fabric softner refills in a plastic pouch type thing that looks like the pic below). She just bombs one of those under her seat and the smell lasts literally for months.

Of course having your car smell like fabric softner may not always be so appealing to us manly men. Im the MAN

and for those of you with kids, there is a real risk of them picking it up, squeezing it, and you having fabric softner all over the interior....
