Ambi Pur Car for Her - air freshener for your car

I have been well and truly won over by the Ambi Pur 3volution plug-in range, that I've reviewed here and here - they change scents every so often so that your nose doesn't get used to it and "tune out" the fragrance. So I was intrigued to discover their new car air fresheners, to see if they would live up to the high standard I've come to expect.

The Car air fresheners don't have the innovative scent-changing technology of the 3volutions but, as you're constantly getting in and out of the car, your nose doesn't have time to get used to the scent and tune it out. Therefore, every time you dash back to the car, you get the full effect of the lovely fragrance all over again.

I have bad memories of the old-fashioned car air fresheners that smelt so strong that I'm sure they were a major factor in my childhood car sickness ! The Ambi Pur car air freshener has a much more natural, delicate scent that isn't at all overpowering, even in the confined space of the car.

I was sent the "For Her" air freshener, which is lovely and feminine, both in its delicate peachy/floral scent and its funky pink unit. The little flowery decoration adds a touch of class and femininity to your dashboard and it's dead easy to clip it on to the ventilation system - no screwdrivers or husbands required to fit it !

But Ambi Pur don't just make car air fresheners for women. They also have the more gender-neutral Pacific Air, Vanilla, Anti-Tobacco versions, as well as the new "Breathe Easy" fragrance, which is described on the Ambi Pur website as a "refreshing combination of cool eucalyptus and mint" to "make your car a bursting bubble of freshness". That sounds perfect for long journeys in a stuffy, overheated car this summer.

I was really impressed with the scent-alternating technology of the 3volution device, but I'm also impressed with the way the Car air freshener works. "Ambi Pur Car air fresheners combine real liquid perfume with the power of your car’s ventilation system to provide a quality fragrance to enjoy on your journey." That means the fragrance wafts around the whole car and even those in the back seat can enjoy the nice smell.

The great news for all the mum-taxis out there is that the air freshener lasts for up to 60 days (based on average driving and temperature conditions) and has an adjustable strength setting. Go on, pimp your ride !
