Little Trees Air Freshener, New Car Fragrance

Product Information

Another 360 Modena was "a mélange of basketball, football, and baseball leather. Bright, bold rubberized smells." And a third Modena, a Spider, was "like smelling the palm of a well-broken-in kidskin driving glove." There appeared to be no consistency, sort of like perfume that smells different on different women. However, Richard Charlesworth, director of special customer commissions and heritage for the Bentley Motor Company (how about that title?), assures me Bentley's quality-control guys are clinically anal. Virtually all the materials used in the interiors of its automobiles are natural. Leather comes exclusively from Scandinavian cows because they don't use barbed wire there (cattle are gently corralled with hedges and wood fences) and the temperature is too cool for those nasty warble flies that bore holes into a cow's hide. Dashboards are hand-rubbed wood instead of plastic, which creates "outgases" that dust the inside of windshields. Up till now, I had thought that was dirt.

Another place to hang it is in your garage. The Heat air freshener will neutralize the greasy engine oil and old storage smell. Moreover, once you park your car in your garage, the welcoming aroma of this air freshener will give you positive energy as you enter your home. We spend a lot of time in our vehicles, and we live smelly lives. Don't be shy, we all have things that stink up our cars. Whether it's food, dogs or farts, every car will one day smell. This is why investing in a car air freshener can be a good idea. And you've come to the right place to find out which air fresheners are the best. We at CNET Cars see a lot of vehicles, so we have abundant experience giving cars a fresh scent and can humbly offer some guidance as you shop.The result of this scare was that automakers began working on neutralizing odors while respecting their customers' desire for "that new-car smell." Little Joe air fresheners come in a wide range of cool and fruity scents from Orange Sorbet to Pina Colada. However, we think the Strawberry Laces scent is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth! Simply clip onto the air vent and fill your car with the deliciously fruity fragrance!

Boat shop," said Hennig. Eyes closed, he held up one hand, palm out. "This conjures up a cavernous vintage boat hangar, mahogany or varnished rosewood, lovingly crafted, hand-rubbed. All natural, nothing artificial or manufactured." I imagined myself in a 1954 Chris-Craft. How leather gets to smell so good is a real feat, since the tanning process removes virtually all the cow odor, which is a good thing. The products used to soften and shine the leather give it its smell. "Most leathers used to be processed with fish oil," said Embach. "You only thought it smelled good because you were holding a Coach bag or sitting in an expensive car. Close your eyes, and you'd have smelled whale blubber." We figured Bentley must be the gold standard when it comes to smelling good, so we went to that dealership first. We slid into a 2003 steel-blue Arnage. Like other car manufacturers, Ford works to eliminate offensive odors rather than creating pleasant ones. "But almost everything has some smell," said Graham. The beauty of leather is that it is very sensuous," said Pat Oldenkamp, vice-president of design and marketing for Eagle Ottawa, a major supplier of leather for the automotive industry. "We spend a lot of time making sure that the touch of the leather is right, the smell and color. It's all important." It is Eagle Ottawa that provides Nuance leather for those sexy Cadillacs.General Motors does not have a standardized smell test, but damned if those Cadillacs don't smell good. Most people attribute that to Nuance leather. Jim Embach, design technology manager for the General Motors Design Center, worked on the team that developed Nuance, and he said they actually built entire cars with an assortment of materials and then had customers sit in them and rate them. "A total contextual experience," he said. According to Embach, the test cars were then dismantled. Although these air fresheners are made in the USA, their supply is not limited to the USA only. You can enjoy long-lasting strawberry-flavored air fresheners outside the USA. Many e-commerce web stores offer these products with worldwide delivery service. Not one car manufacturer admitted to creating a scent, although once in a while one would accuse a competitor of doing so: infusing a piece of plastic with an aroma and installing it under a seat, for example, or blowing a fragrance into the plastic bags that cover the seats during shipment. Car manufacturers say they are working toward a neutral environment, and the smell that lingers is the stuff they can't—or don't need to—eliminate.
