That brings back memories of the "joys" of the liquid traffic light air freshener.

They were generally OK for the first couple of weeks when only the upper hole was pierced. However, once you pierced the second lower hole the rate of evaporation of the scent increased exponentially resulting in having to open the car windows every time you sat in it to avoid choking on the chemical cocktail released

Out of curiosity, why do people feel the need to perfume their motor vehicles?

Out of curiosity, why do people feel the need to perfume their motor vehicles?

Historically, it was to mask the smell of petrol, oil fumes and - perhaps - exhaust fumes that would seep into the cabin through numerous gaps in the firewall and elsewhere, plus tobacco odours and smells of the damp carpets resulting from rainwater leaks and sweaty bodies caused by sitting on vinyl seats in summer.

Why people do it now is more of a mystery.

Me too, in fact sadly not just "feel"...

Looking back with the benefit of maturity , I'd come to assume that it was more likely to be a case of association. That perhaps I was simply car sick, and that the pervasive scent was somehow locked into that memory chain ?
