Any ideas what this could be please?

I’ve heard this tip before, but honestly it’s not a great idea.

The cabin filter isn’t just there for smell it’s designed to trap dust, pollen and fine particles, and on many cars it’s also a carbon filter for absorbing odors. Spraying aftershave or perfume into it can clog the filter fibers, reduce airflow, and basically “use up” the carbon so it stops doing its actual job.

Another issue is moisture. Once you soak the filter, it can hold dampness and dirt, which over time can lead to musty smells, bacteria or even mold. What smells good for a few days can end up worse than before.

It also means you’re constantly blowing heated perfume straight into the cabin, which can be irritating or headache-inducing, especially on longer drives.

It probably won’t kill the filter immediately, but it does compromise how it works, and cabin filters are cheap enough that it makes more sense to just replace it with a charcoal or scented one, or use a proper vent freshener instead.

If you want lasting smell in the car, Buy them Calaforina sent circle tub things and pop one in youre doorcad, Lasts months.
