Default Air Freshener - Where do you put it?

Does anybody here have an air freshener in their Z? If so, what brand and where in the Z do you put it?

Air spencer, the long round one that sits horizontal. It's mounted on the passenger side dash vent.
I think the one that sits vertical, and looks like 2 cylinders might look better though.

i don't use one on my Z just yet, I still have the new car/leather smell. but for my maxima i also use Air Spencer (velcro'd it to the dash). I got the Squash one and smells really good. mine lasted about 4 - 6 months depending if you crack your windows often. Its a bit expensive, but i think its well worth it. look around at performance auto shops.. usually runs for $10-12.. and refills around $6. It smelled so good that i got 3 of my friends into buying it

I just use one of those cardboard "scented trees" that are popular with most people...the touchless wash near my house gives them away free with a Deluxe Special wash. I think they look really stupid hanging from my mirror, so I hang mine on the adjustment lever under the seat. Vanilla and coconut are highly reccommended.

wow, 4-6 months? the one i had in my old E36 M3 only lasted a month. those refills are too expensive.

check out any Asian supermarkets or stationary stores.

I'm using the same, but most of the times they only last for about a month for me(maybe it's because I got used to it).
I place it in the little side pocket on the driver seat

I don't have a Z quite yet, but I always put a dryer sheet under the seats.

I use the squash smell in my air spencer too... to me it seems like it only lasts a month, but it's just because i get used to it. Other ppl who get in say that they can still smell it months later as well.

Default Thanks

Thanks for posting a picture and for all the replies. Does it ruin the dash if you put that adhesive velcro tape on it?

Thats pretty damn smart.
I wish I had thought of that...

I just use febreeze since i dont have leather.
Is that bad?
Gets rid of any smell in the entire world.

That's exactly why mine's hiding under the seat....having one on your mirror only leads you down that slippery slope to CDs and graduation cap tassels.
