This is now the automotive insanity megathread for all your car air cfreshner needs and inquiries.

POlease give reviews of your favourite and least favourite air freshners and give them a rating from 1 - 10 where 1 is mega whiffs and 10 is perfume perfection. Please detail your own chosen criteria for marking those 10 points.

I will provide an example:



Brand: unknown
Scent: vanilla
Rating: 3/10 (Bad Pongz)


Criteria:

- attachment mechanism / design quality
-attachment mechanism / design utility
-Fragrance FAIL
-Sentiments FAIL
-Shape FAIL
-Texture FAIL
-Memories FAIL
-Staying Power [PASS!]
-Blood [FAIL]
-Color [FAIL]
-Price [PASS!]
-Ergonomics[FAIL]


Review:

I'm not quite sure to begin with this travesty of an air freshner. Not only is its texture thick and fuzzy (totally inappropriate for a professional's car) its shape is way too large and round, obscuring vision of both the road and my happy meal toy collection on the dash.

Its scent is awful; supposedly vanilla but really just causes travel sickness (which is coincidentally why i failed it on the 'memories' and 'sentiments' criteria).

After the initial nausea set in, a mild state of impressionability took my body, and it was merely 30 minutes before I was making blood sacrifices in my car with my own blood so i failed it for 'blood' too (i lost 7 pints). Initially the item had a solid, neutral color and i liked this but after getting soaked in blood it became unbearable to look at (remembering the awful shape and texture, please).

Ergonomics on this thing are amazing though, I can hold it squarely in the palm of my hand with my fingerfolds resting comfortably around the edge (... if only it weren't for the awful texture...) but this shape doesn't contribute to its place on the rear-view mirror. I had no trouble holding and catching this between my teeth as i played fetch with my dom. A fail though, since its shape and its ergonomics offer no useful value to my air freshener experience.

This thing just won't stop stinking and driving me to blood rituals. Staying power is a definite pass. I just want it to end.

The price passed because i didn't pay for this air freshener.

The previous owner of my car left an open jar of hair gel in the armrest for what i assume was the entire time he owned the car. I have had the car for almost 10 months and i can still smell it when i get in. It's getting pretty faint now though... would it be weird if i called him and asked him what hairgel he uses?

do it
