Yankee Scents for Your Automobile

Car Gel - Mango Peach Salsa
I was really impressed with the Car Gel as an alternative to the long reigning Car Jar and I found the Mango Peach Salsa to be juicy and totally delicious. As a Car Gel it was strong, but not to the point where it becomes overwhelming and gives you a headache. The mango and peach are served up in equal amounts but I did detect a pinch of lemon juice. All in all, it goes nicely in my little Saturn as I bebop around town to Victor Manuelle's "Travesía."

Car Jar - Sparkling Cinnamon
This scent rocks! It's exactly like freshly ground cinnamon and also, reminds me a bit of the clove cigarettes a friend of mine used to smoke - they always smelled so divine. I've decided to place the Car Jar back in it's plastic cover and am going to save this for late December. My niece and I have a tradition of taking long drives through the Pine Barrens as we listen to "Have a Very Merry Chrismukkah!" This scent will add the perfect ambiance as we sip hot cocoa and sing along. Yes, I am a huge dork.

Pump and Go - Coconut Bay
When I first picked this up, I stopped with it to my parents' house. I showed my father the Pump and Go and said, "This Coconut one smells like naked Hawaiian girls on a beach." To which he replied, "Well, there's absolutely nothin' wrong with that, now is there?" Clearly my Irish Mama wasn't home to hear this or he would have certainly been in the doghouse. But honestly, it really smells like Hawaiian Tropic Suntan Oil and that is definitely a good thing!

The Pump and Go is an ingenious little device that allows the owner to decide how much of the fragrance they want released. Once the A/C or heat kicks on, you will get some serious fragrance from that lil' Pump & Go. I recommend this over the Car Gel or Car Jar for those that smoke, because this is, I feel, the best of the three for getting rid of strong scents.

And by the way, all three of these choices come in a bunch of different fragrances, so get on over there and pick your favourite!!
