I picked up my D3 last month, and when handed the keys, it had been given the beauty treatment by the garage inside and out. Fantastic, it's been some time since I've experienced that level of fresh and cleanliness in a car - usually it's a bucket and sponge, with a token Pledge polish squirt inside (it was a freelander 1 don't ask )
Now I've been out and purchased some actual car polish stuff for the outside, and some for the interior.
My question to you all is this....
What, in your opinions, is the best air freshener sto get? In terms of longevity, pungentness (if that's a thing?!), fitment and cost?
I've tried many over the years, some good, some gone after a day. I'm not afraid of a bold smell as it were, any ideas?

Gotta love the irony! Previously owned an '08 D3 HSE in Stornoway grey but jumped ship to see what the Swedes have to offer.

This is what I use, I think it has a really authentic, and powerful 'new leather' smell that lasts a couple of weeks on a good few sprays inside the vehicle. Has had positive comments from passengers.
Will definitely buy some more when it runs out. I tend to spray around the interior, making sure a good bit lands on the carpets and headlining where it settles better.

Not really sure why they've worded it like that to be honest. In my experience, it just gives you a lasting smell of 'new' leather for 1-2 weeks. I guess if you had a brand new Disco then this may mask it's 'own' new smell but then I wouldn't be using this product in that instance D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

Not really new car smell, more new leather seats smell, but these smell fantastic.
