Auto air fresheners concept is designed to scent the interior of your vehicle, masking bad odors. Consumers have a wide variety of products and car scents to choose from.

Scented Cardboards are the first type of car air fresheners. It was invented by Canadian born chemist Julius Sämann in 1952 in upstate New York. The idea came about when a milk truck driver complained to him about the smell of spilled milk. Sämann filed a patent for paper impregnated with “odor-destroying, air-perfuming substances,”. He designed the product in a tree shape.
Scented carboard considered one of the cheapest air freshener for car due to its short life span and inexpensive manufacturing process. Although, it is offered in a wide assortment of shapes and fragrances, it is common to hang such product on the rearview mirror cluttering the front view inside the car.
Vent Clip Air Fresheners are as common as scented cardboards. The clip Is attached to a housing with capsules of scented gel or liquid. As the name implies, this product us clipped onto the air vent and spread scent in the direction the air blows when the AC system is turned on. Just like the cardboard product, vent clips are easy to fit, however most product have limited life span of 30 day or less.
Gel Containers are another product type that is the designed to scent your vehicles. Most products are offered in a resealable container with an adjustable led to adjust the intensity of smell. These are made to fit into a cup-holder. Probably this is the least comment type of air fresheners due to placement constrainers in the vehicle.
Visor Wrap is a scented material that attaches to the car visor. Often is made with cardboard, felt or wood. It gives a simi-discreet option that does not block the front view. However its ability to diffuse scent across the vehicle is quite limited and it has a limited life span lasting up to 30 days.
Sprays are the oldest and quickest form to scenting a vehicle. These are similar to the air fresheners used at home, it is considered car perfume. It is easy to spray and target a specific area like carpets or seating, however it scents for short duration.
