What's that smell?

What smells, scents and air freshners do you use in your 206CC?

I started using the PEAR JellyBelly air freshners, then bought the JellyBelly spray BUBBLEGUM airfreshner, and while my car has been off road (my tyre) I have bought BLUEBERRY JellyBelly in an attempt to make my car smell in accordance with the colour?

Cant wait to try it out and see what the effect is, wonder if I will get in my car and randomly start to lick the interior?

You are totally bonkers Ollie!!!

I don't use car air fresheners, I used to get car sick as a kid and the smell of those used to make me feel worse. My car smells of leather and I prefer that.

I like the blue-berry blue car idea though. Not sure what scent I would have to get for a silver car though?

Hi ya

I definately have car air freshners, we can only get the smelly feet (if you know what i mean). I normally go for the strawberry or cherry ones because they are red and pink

I use Wunderbaum New Car smell, it's the best! I've never seen these jelly belly air fresheners, but it looks fantastic and must smell good...i hope i'll see them around...somewhere...

I've seen the JellyBelly fresheners in Tesco. I thought they were a bit expensive to try just to find out they were rubbish, but now Ollie has given his approval I'm going to pick one up on Saturday if they have any red ones to match my interior.

OO-err on my head be it - I must say, unless you dont drive your car for long periods you tend to loose the scent, but passengers do always comment on the nice smell. I love the jelly belly range but I did find them too big to hang off my mirror, but then im not a fan of anything dangling off the mirror, I hang 2 off the vents near each footwell off the vents either side of the gear stick.

They can be found cheaper on ebay and I think the Jelly belly website, but watch out for postage.

I think they do red, the very cherry one? :-P

Ooooh, very cherry - I like the sound of that!! Better than the smell of wet dog that I have at the moment, due to the soaking we got at weekend!

Your hanging place sounds a good idea - I don't like things dangling off mirrors either.

Frinto/Walton East Essex coast we currently have rain, havent seen rain in weeks (only at night and thats from getting up in the morning and seeing the grass is wet).
Big thunder storm at the moment and I just took my car on a run with my new tyre, got the day off so got it sorted (been nearly a month) Felt good.

Yeah hanging places are good as there out of sight (ish) and I was hoping when the heater comes on it will warm them up and spread the fragrance (I have juicy pear at the mo) I dont think there toxic

I think the air con has also blown the scent around.

I am sure they do a very cherry, I bought the spray air freshner Jelly Belly, I got 2 bubblegum and 1 very cherry, it smelt so good I brought it in from the car and used it round the home

Here it is on ebayL
VERY CHERRY 3D CAR FRESHNER
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-SEALED-JELLY- ... 3a58a081da

There is a 2D one cheaper - I only buy 3D so not sure what the difference is, but have a shop about.

No cherry air spray left, but this is the seller, could ask if they get anymore, think these are sold in US and not the UK, so may of imported stock. Think Amazon US sell them.

There a medium size bottle, I have been spraying them like mad and they last ages.

Sorry I have gone on....:/

I am the same as Thar and used to and sometimes still get a bit sick when in a car with a sickly sweet smelling air freshner. I tend to stick with febreeze and spray the seats and carpets. Tends to last for a couple of days or so....just ensure that you allow enough time for the seats to dry out first though!!

Yep I used to be the same with those Magic Tree's, used to make me feel travel sick, never ever used em in my own cars. I never used any before I started using Jelly Belly. I used to febreeze my car and yes, make sure its dry! I had embarassing moment when my friend pointed out a wet stain on my suit at work one morning, luckily she believed me it was febreeze as it was on one bum cheek and not in the centre OOO-EEERRR :redface:

hahaha! yes Ollie! I think we've all had one of those moments where you have had to explain away a wet patch! but you have to make mistakes before learning from them!!

You've just made me laugh out loud in the office. I'm sat here with tears in my eyes and a red face!! Never seen your bum but the picture I have in my head is hilarious
