Its along with the black ice line....but the "leather" scent is a GREAT SMELL! Actually, it really doesn't even smell like leather, but more on the lighter cool water type smell. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you at least give it a whirl, even if you're skeptical. Its the tree stuff and its brown. Unfortunately, you can only find it in SOME limited AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts..etc.

It mostly comes down to preference. New Car, Leather, Vanilla, Black Ice, are all pretty good.

However, if you are looking for te strongest one, go with Vanilla.

We get boxes of air fresheners shipped into my work all the time. When you open the box, which has all the differen scents, guess which smell is dominant?? Thats right, the Vanilla Little Trees

i use the glade? air scent things that clip on to your vent. I like the outdoor fresh personally. They have refill packs for them too so you can just pop a new one in. also has 'adjustable' setting for the strength. Better known as a plastic piece that moves to let more or less air through.

103 does smell pretty good, you have a point there... I've been told my exhaust smells like KFC...? Seriously though, when I dyno'd my car and drove into the garage everyone agreed that my exhaust smelt like KFC... lol

maybe you sucked in a chickin through the intake when you were on the dyno...


I used YANKEE CANDLE brand LEATHER... They last about a month strong and smell fantastic...not too overwhelming, almost like it should smell that way in the car....I don't think it would make sense with cloth seats though

peace out
