Where you been the last 3 years?

Cherry is the best, turn the sponge things after a few weeks to get the smell back. Mines lasted 2 months so far and still smells great.

This.

California scents are amazing, everyone who gets in my car comments on the nice cherry smell. Seems to last for months! Can normally pick 3 up for less than a tenner as well. I always get cherry but may try something new next time.

I have been using the vanilla magic tree for 15+ years.... it brings back the memory of my old Cav 1.8 SRI, a dark country lane and a bird called Sue.... :laugh:

The last one I had was bubblegum ("Delight") lasted ages, I could almost taste it! Was very strong for a while, I had the vent open too much!
I'd recommend them, I love vanilla but was worried it might be too sickly?

at risk of sounding pikier than usual, couldnt you just pour vanilla essence onto the old magic trees to refil them so to speak?

How close is the smell to the magic trees?


The only time i smelt the california scent is when a golf comes in with titnted windows, but always noticed a slith wiff of ganga behind the scent so never got the full aroma..... :grin:


The wife informs me our Zafira has a cherry california scent in there.... IMO a tad over powering on me old nostrils.. :sick:
