Air Spencer(000400 CS-X3 Squash Scent Air Freshener

Been using this product for over 18 years. My go-to scent, refreshing, strong, long lasting. Unique scent always gets compliments.

Classic scent of the 2000's and an absolute staple of Japanese car culture. Like others have said, this doesn't smell like a squash or gourd. The scent is themed after Ramune which is a popular soda flavor in Japan (if you haven't tried that I highly suggest going to your local import goods store and buying a bottle)I would describe the smell as citrus mixed with juicy fruit gum with a sprinkling of new car smell. It's fantastic and appeals to men and women (I've had different female friends gush over it multiple times when they first get into my car for the first time)Many companies have tried to capture the scent of Eikosha's Air Spencer Squash scent but so far none have succeeded. There isn't another product out there that matches the aroma. I've tried them all in an effort to find a cheaper alternative. Liquid sprays, metal tins, and other gel based brands. None of them come close despite what ANYONE says.The holder for the refills is attractive and looks great mounted just about anywhere in a car, but I'd highly recommend putting it somewhere that doesn't get direct sunlight. If you put it on your dashboard or in a place that gets a lot of sunlight the smell can fade within a week. I opted to put mine under the glove box and with the fins opened half way on the air freshener I get about a month as advertised.At the time of writing this review you can get the refills for around $6.36 a piece when buying in a pack of ten from various sellers. It's a bit pricey compared to locally available brands and scents, but it's a price I'm willing to pay. My car doesn't feel like my car without it anymore.You'll be hooked on these after your first purchase.

I recently purchased the Air Spencer (000400 CS-X3 Squash Scent Air Freshener), and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The Squash scent is incredibly refreshing, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere in my car or any other enclosed space. The unique blend of citrus and floral notes creates a vibrant and invigorating ambiance that is both uplifting and long-lasting.The sleek and stylish design adds a touch of elegance to my car's interior, making it a practical and fashionable accessory. The compact size allows for convenient placement without obstructing or taking up too much space. Additionally, the adjustable fragrance intensity dial enables me to customize the scent's strength to my preference, providing a personalized and enjoyable experience.

I had used this for 3 weeks. I did what people suggested on the reviews to leave it barely open, and slowly open up the scent pack as the smell lessens... But it didn't help prolong this. I have a Model Y, for size reference.The smell is nice, but very strong when you first open it. The smell is now nearly gone. Not worth the $13 I paid for this as it lasts as long as a cheap Costco scents that are less than $2 a piece. Unfortunate, as I wanted to continue using this but paying $13/3 weeks isn't worth it to me.

The Squash Air Spencer CS-X3 Air Freshener is great smelling, high quality air freshener (it should be for the price). The case is made of plastic (apparently), the top grill looking quite like metal and the rest plastic. Inside the box you'll find the the case and inside is the Squash cartridge which is sealed in plastic to preserve the scent. Speaking of the scent, Squash smells much like Fruity Pebbles with hints of cirtus and is actually quite a pleasing scent. Also inside the box are two pieces of small sticky foam to hold your air freshener in place. The cartridge has a vent that can open and close, in my opinion the vent shouldn't be open all the way, with it open all the way the smell is too overpowering. Instead with the vent closed all the way the scent isn't overpowering and lasts much longer. Overall this air freshener is one of the best I have ever used (much better than Little Trees imo).Pros+ Casing looks great+ Great scent (imo Fruity Pebbles w/ hints of citrus)+ Replaceable cartridgesCons- Pricey- Doesn't last that long

The smell is JuicyFruit... almost to an exact smell. I would say there is a slight mix of cherry and maybe some soap? When I first opened this, I couldn't place the smell. It wasn't as simple as one kind of smell or one fruit. Something was familiar and I just couldn't figure out what it was, until someone walked by chewing some JuicyFruit and it hit me. This is the smell of my car air freshener and this also explains why so many people love this smell, as JuicyFruit is a huge seller of gum and was hugely popular a while back. I hope this helps people who, like me, have been wracking their brains on why this smells so familiar. I could also be wrong, and this is just what it smells like to me, either way, if you are on the fence about this air freshener, don't be! This is amazing, smells great, lasts quite a while and even looks nice. Get it!
