My daughter has a mild obsession with car air fresheners, so as a result of her constant badgering I regularly have one in my car. I am a big fan of the Yankee candles so I was curious as to how they would work in the form of a car air freshener.

They are easy to use; simply open the packet, remove and hang the elastic loop over something in the car. I generally hang mine over the gear stick but many others hang them over the rear view mirror.

I bought this as part of a multi pack of three different car fresheners, one black cherry, one sweet strawberry and another was kiwi berries. I had initially been lured by the strawberry scented one, but my favourite by far was the black cherry. It has a deep fruity scent with strong sweet undertones, reminiscent of a bowl of cherries - good enough to eat.

The scent was quite strong for a few days but after a week or so it began to fade so that only a brief hint of cherry was discernible when opening the car door. I had hoped that it would last longer than other air fresheners so was disappointed that it didnt. However, the smell was still superior to most other brands and lasted just as long, so despite the cost I have bought some more.
