I use California Scents but the smell can be overpowering initially.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I don't like the smell of air fresheners in a car - It doesn't smell like a car and also seems as if a stink is there which needs covering up. And anything dangling from the rear view mirror is a no-no. If you are a smoker you've got worse problems than in your car. All in my opinion.

Cali Scents for me all the way. Pineapple smells like warm sick on a hot day though.

Also I've taken to getting an in house one, and velcro it under the seat :)

I'm not a fan of rear view mirror ones at all.

The ones under the seat do cover my farts indeed haha. ALso when you open the door, the air displacement around them perks them into life.

california scents seem to last the longest for me. Bought a few auto finesse ones lately, but they only seem to last a couple of days
