Mountain breeze

The interior of my car has been infused with a sickening, smothering odour of late. You see, I purchased an air freshener two days ago at a Shell kiosk, one of those that you clip on the air-con vent so that the (supposed) fragrance can be carried by the streams of air and circulate freely within the vehicle. The freshener even has a thoughtful little adjustable dial which allows me to choose my desired fragrance strength. Sounds wonderful, no?

Only problem is, the "fragrance" reeks. As Ken rightly pointed out in a fit of laughter (maybe I misconstrued it as laughter - he might have been convulsing in reaction to the odour), it smells like someone who just chewed several globs of fruity gum (grape and berries) threw up in my car. It has this overbearing saccharine scent to it which hits you as soon as you set foot into the car.

And I had even made sure at the kiosk that the smell was pleasant before i purchased it. It had one of those scratch n' sniff stickers at the corner of the packaging for you to...err...scratch and sniff the fragrance before you buy it. The one I got was described as "Mountain Breeze" (which I chose over the other two available: "Wild Berries" and the overly imaginatively named "New Car"). I swear the fragrance my nose was greeted with as I scratched n' sniffed the sticker had absolutely no bearing to the nefarious odor that plagues me as I enter my car now. I feel rather cheated, really. Especially when, each time I catch a particularly potent whiff of the odor as I drive, the first two words that pop into my mind are SO not "mountain" and "breeze". More like "Bubblegum Puke". Now THAT should have been on the packaging.

Though since I've already paid 6 bucks for it, I guess I'll just have to get used to it and wait till "Mountain Breeze" grows on me.

A little tip from my 2 years of cleaning somone elses' fish tank. Charcoal! it removes the smell of ANYTHING(expect post-liferun RSM). You know, carbon ions... bonding blah blah. I got a B3 for chem so don't quote me though.

So I just plant charcoal pieces around the interior of my car and the odour will be absorbed like magic?

I like how charcoal is the solution to everything - bbqs, diarrhoea, bad smells. Yay charcoal!
