There's really no answer to that.

Air Freshners in an XJS is one step away from 'Dangling Dice' on the rear view mirror!

Best to keep an empty bottle of your current fragrance in the Car with the Top off.

And then when you run out of Red treat yourself to a bottle of Acqua Di Gio

Its as Classy as the Car Bro and as Five Star as the gas you put in the tank!

Dabs Jag certainly knows a thing or two!
Didn't Paul tell you he removes the fluffy dice before he takes photos of the Blue Goose.

No fear of being accused of that down here.

Lol. wow, pretty interesting. I make my own perfumes with essential oils. My fave is ylang ylang with some light orange blossom. I Put some on a tissue and put it under the seat. the leather and scent mix wonderfully. And I smell pretty good too!

Ah Yes! I know this well!

Cananga Odorata (I'm not making this up guys, that's the Tree it comes from)

And is the perfect accompaniment for someone who drives an XJS (Why?)

Because: Its Stress Relieving, Helps to reduce Anxiety and can help with depression!

So that's all the Boxes Ticked then!

Did I just forget to mention, that it is also considered an aprodisiac!

As for the Fragrance we are talking Sweet and Heavy Jasmine and comes in various grades.

It really isn't a Perfume, as Flamingstar has pointed out this is an essential oil called Ylang Ylang.

Which should really only be used by a qualified aromatherapist, at its so strong and potent, that bad things could happen if you don't know what you are doing.

So don't try this at home!

Hopefully Flamingstar will expand on this.

You definitely have to be careful in the amount of pure oils you use. I love the smell of the ylang ylang amazing and yes... an aphrodisiac. ��

How does this have three pages? The answer should unanimously be leather with a hint of gasoline.

My girlfriend says she can always smell when i've been in my car.
