Which car freshener do YOU use?

I'm deciding on which car air freshener to get or whether or not to get one at all. What do you guys use?

Get the BMW vent clip freshener from your local dealer. looks really good and matches the interior well. They have like 5 different scents to choose from!

Isn't it a brand new car, how many odd smells can you have?

None. I like the smells that come with the leather materials themselves and prefer to keep it like that. This way you can keep the car smelling like on day one for 2-3 years (as long as you don't carry pets I guess). In my two year old 5 series, passengers still ask me if the car is new, because it smells like brand new. I've never used anything in it with a scent.

Squash scent. Currently by treefrog. I prefer carall's squash better, but it's easier to get treefrog at my local store.

Trust me, squash is a great scent. I discovered it while I was in Japan.

Ozium Original. Still the best at eliminating any funkiness, and not overpowering or headache inducing.

ozium without a doubt... It kills the odor at the source and the scent fades if you leave the sunroof open.. Leaving just that BMW leather smell... Works even In heavily soiled cars but you gotta do it a few times in a row... Eventually it will remove the smell and leave BMW smell behind.

DO NOT BREATHE IN OZIUM... ITS REALLY BAD FOR YOU. open the sunroof spray two small squirts one in front one towards the backseat get out and lock the car... You can go back in in 20 min.

It works wonders.
