Magic Tree Car Air Freshener

Does a small piece of cardboard cut into the shape of a tree and covered with scented felt really constitute magic? .......... I think not! I chose to review these because not only are they my choice of car air freshener but I also have a story to tell about them which I will get to later, firstly on to the trees. Ok I am sure most of you if not all of you have heard of magic trees and know that they are not only designed for cars but can also be used around the home or in caravans or basically any where that is likely to get a bit niffy. I am a big fan of these because they work; it is as simple as that. However be very careful which ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ OK. Picture the scene if you will. It's mid-July 2002 and I'm on my way from Dublin up to Fairyhouse Racecourse in Co. Meath (about 20 miles from Dublin) with four young ones (two males and two females) in the taxi who are heading for the HUGE open-air concert (Witnness) that was held there last summer. (over 40,000 peeps) They are all (how will I put this politely?) slightly the 'worse for wear', but since I am getting €75 for the relatively short trip, I'm not over concerned, and it's not my business anyway! Mind you, I should have sussed they were trouble when one of the girls jumped out of the taxi while we were stuck in a ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to car air fresheners there is only one I ever use and it is a Magic tree, a cardboard air freshener shaped like a Christmas tree and smelling lovely (well depending on which scent you choose). Although I always use magic trees there are certain ones I would not touch like the forest fresh, spice or pine and bouquet. Some of the other scents are quite nice such as apple, vanilla or jasmine but the best one by far has to be the new car scent, whether or not it actually smells like a new car is highly debatable but it does smell very nice. All the magic trees are different colours and this helps you to identify them, the new car scent ...  Read the complete review

*Why am I writing about air fresheners you might ask. Well I work part time at Halfords on the till and I am right next to the air fresheners display. I have spent many hours either tidying them or just staring at them so I have developed a slight obsession - don't back away! Honest I'll try to stay calm and composed for this review!* Everyone who drives a car must have had a magic tree air freshener hanging from their rear view mirror at some time. If you don't drive then you must have been in a taxi with one - there's no escaping them! Magic tree air fresheners were launched in the USA in 1952 and are now sold in over 50 countries. They are the ...  Read the complete review

Magic tree car air fresheners have some of the best scents about but they are as good as useless in my opinion, the reasons for this are as follows. Reason 1 If you use them as they instruct you to by pulling only a tiny section of the tree out of the wrapper at a time, then when you hang them in your car they look ridiculous. Reason 2 If you use them as most of the people who like magic trees do, by taking the whole tree out of its wrapper in one go then they are far too over powering for a few days before after one week the smell will all but disappear leaving you with a useless piece of cardboard. Reason ...  Read the complete review
