(000400) CS-X3 Squash Scent Air Freshener

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.

Who doesn't love juicy fruit gum? Sweeter and less chemical smell compared to the can types. Longevity isn't great, a smelly tree will outlive these hands down, but you can also cut up the insert for a few days extra. For months these will have a lingering scent, just not powerful enough to scentify your car. They smell great though, and I usually throw the old ones under the seat in the floor vent and get a couple weeks more until they give up. The dispenser is aesthetics only, you can absolutely use the refills only. They are sized to be placed somewhere in view and not be in the way, and match well with 80s-00s styling. Blended in well with the 510 interior just as it does the Tacoma. For a more permanent install, use some 3M tape... just know if you leave it the sun, after a year or so they kind of get loose and tend to open up from time to time. They are priced to be replaced and these are bespoke items so you'll be in the market to buy more most likely. Squash is the best scent.

Finally found this fragrance , I used to get the California scent squash one , this one smells the same but stronger , the case is dope to I’m definitely re ordering

It’s a good scent but not as strong of a scent as its other counterpart that comes in a tin. The tins lasted me a few months, I hope this lasts longer, but it seems these things last in more humid areas rather than dryer climates. The value of the refillable is worth it if you buy the refills in bulk as expected. It’s easy to hide under the seats rather than setting on the dash if one prefers it. My online gripe is the scent options, we only get to choose about four compared to the tin ones that have way more.

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!

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