Car air fresheners

In the Polo (which leaks in a bit of water and always smells musty in the winter) I have some Car Plan ones that slide into the air vent leaving a little disc on show smaller than a 5p piece. Vanilla ones smell ok, haven't tried the rest. 5 for a £ in poundland 
My motor is clean inside and smells of either upholstery cleaner or leather conditioner

all supermarkets should do it. I know Tesco does.
Car ones are in pouches, but down the house air freshener isle there will be the ones in pots which last a lot longer.

they seem to remove the smell rather than mask it. magic trees just mask it

I have Poorboys Natural Look Dressing on the way, it's meant to smell like marzipan, yummy.

Steak airfreshener, full of meaty flavour!

Magic trees last ages
My money is he's never read the instructions on the magic tree, and thus immediately removes it from it's plastic wrapping and throws it away.

Magic tree new car smell seems to be the most liked one around here. A recent gap check showed -49 of them!
Initially it will smell a bit 'chemically' not bad, and not like an industrial toilet thing!, it will die down in a couple of days and you wont notice it, but will still seem fresh

Jellllllllybeans 
It wasn't at Tesco
have a look at other supermarkets matey, it's a pretty standard product.

with these Jelly Belly 3d ones, can you just leave them under the passenger seat? or would they make a mess..
Man of Honour
Depends on the jelly belly ones in question
The neutradol "ball" ones (white balls) aren't best left under the seat unless you like blue liquid gel all over your floor
The Satchels however are just fine but do note that the air freshener will be used up much quicker if left under the seat because of the floor vents drying it up much quicker.
I don't like those "bug" 3d style ones, the ones with sticky backsides, they seem to leave a residue when removed, maybe they're suited to non matt trim panels or something.
I've switched to using magic tree New Car Smell because they're 99p each and some of my passengers were commenting on my car smelling like a doctor's surgery one too many times with the Neutradol ones!!
I've found an awesome place to hang them out of view too, the knee support lever handle thing, just ha them there and it's perfect

For the people saying why people's cars smell so bad to need air fresheners, that's not the reason at all - a pleasant fragrance has been proven to release good moods and is calming. No fragrance is just neutral and a bit boring really.

Just bumping this thread to recommend this as a one-time air conditioner cleaner & air freshenner: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294
I have seen it recommended on here before. Having used mine last week, it is truly an epic product. The previous owner was a smoker and 2 months after I bought my car and cleaning it, the smell was still hanging but after using this cleaner, you can't even tell!
It smells strong and citrussy for the next 24h but after that, it just smells "clean".
