Air SpencerCS-X3 Air Freshener Refill - Squash

I lived in Japan for 14 years and loved going to their auto accessories stores, either Yellowhat or Autobacs. I miss Japan so much; the food, people, the culture, and their JDM rice-rocket cars. This air freshener was my favorite, I always had a steady supply; it smells clean, not overwhelming, and a staple JDM "Squash" scent familiar to Japan-based car enthusiasts. Let me tell you, I was ecstatic when I saw this on Amazon. It's exactly the one I used to buy in the stores in Japan! Of course it's a little bit more expensive here due to import taxes and tariffs, but I found a way to make it last longer and still have the JDM air freshener scent: When you peel off the foil seal, instead of taking it off all the way, just peel off half of the foil and slide the vents halfway as well. It lasts almost three times as long (about a month!) and even after three months, there's still a faint scent discernible. I do have to say, once I bought it from Amazon the first time, a feeling of nostalgia was triggered through my olfactory receptors and invoked some awesome memories of living in Japan, especially during my younger Navy days. Carefree, low-ranking, not a care in the world and consequences of drinking like a sailor overseas (which was what I was literally); this was my world when I first started getting this particular air freshener. So you can see why it brings me this euphoric feeling whenever I peel open the foil (halfway of course) of this air freshener... ahh... those were the days.

There honestly is no rival to this air freshener and smell. You can go and buy those cheap dangling ones, but it will never look at stylish as the Air Spencer CS-X3. This air freshener really smells amazing, not overpowering and not too subtle. I've had friends sit in my car and ask me what I use as an air freshener because the squash aroma is so pleasing to the nose. Many of them actually bought one right away off Amazon or Ebay. Refills aren't the cheapest at about $7 a pack, but it lasts up to a month for me and come with two adhesive stickies each time (which is great cause the old ones do lose its adhesiveness).Overall, if you're looking for a cool looking air freshener that isn't dangling from your rear view mirror, then this is the one for you. It was designed in Japan... c'mon enough said!

I've been using these for years. Since the air freshener is really strong out of the package but fades rather quicky, I recommend the following:- Open the wrapping, and cut the gel bar in HALF.- Seal the other half away in a tight zip-lock bag or vacuum sealed container.There you go! After your car has no more hint of squash, you can open the other half and throw it in.

Didn't quite know what to think when I first ordered this squash sent. I love it though. It doesn't last a real long time, maybe 2 or 3 months? I'm not really sure at the moment as I haven't been in this car for several months. I keep re-ordering it though whenever I need to.I love how it smells, and every girl that's been in my car complements on the smell. I like how I can hide it away, so there's not an obvious air freshener on the vent or in sight anywhere. You owe it to yourself to give it a shot.

Terrific trip down memory lane with this air freshener. This was at least the one "JDM" part I could afford for my car back in the day, and it still smells as terrific as it did back then. Even for those who don't know what it is or where it comes from, I highly recommend this one for the look and scent. I have made many believers over the years, and I hope this company never messes with success.

These have been around a while... I remember these from maybe 15 years ago. They last about a month or two from what I remember. All you need to buy is the Refill, no need to buy the more expensive case. The Refill comes with two adhesive pcs of tape that you can put on the bottom so it doesn't slide around in your car. I put mine underneath my seat. The scent is strong enough to fill your entire car, and it smells great.

These last quite a while and they will make your whole entire car smell like heaven. Everyone you know will suddenly want to be your friend and they will want to ride in your car. You also notice many attractive women taking to you when they catch the scent of your car. Don't do yourself short. Pick up some squash and throw it in your car today! I love this stuff ..

I have used these since the late 90's. This seems to be the original from Japan. If you want them to last just a little bit longer, do not remove the clear pack. Just cut a few small slits in it and gradually open the vents. The scent will not be as strong, but it will last. Otherwise you'll get a few days of overpowering goodness.
