Make your car smell great again! (air refresher by Rituals)

And now for something completely different... (insert Monty Python screenshot)

![Schermafbeelding 2017-08-16 om 18.59.53.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUjJ62TkuY2sBSMpu8biQDurarJT5jqTBwdfyRtw3ZGyQ/Schermafbeelding%202017-08-16%20om%2018.59.53.png)

I love the smell of new things, I especially love the smell of a new car. Some people can stand that smell, but I love it. It's a real shame that smell only lasts for about 3 to 4 weeks and after that your car just smells... So that's when you pop in one of those air vent refreshers. I used to drive around with one of these Ambi Pur refreshers:

![IMG_6054.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaejqPHLYrqq3JcjwZtzh6ur8nNnXMHwECTjQnqzufhPM/IMG_6054.JPG)

They smell nice, but they're kind of bulky and when inserted into the air vent I can no longer adjust the airflow because of the refreshers size. 

A few days ago I got in the car of one of my wife's girlfriends and I noticed she had a very sleek looking air refresher made by Rituals. Her car smelled amazingly good. It was a woman's scent but it smelled amazing nonetheless. I asked her where she got it (in the Rituals shop of course... duh). I also asked if they could be refilled and if there were other scents. She answered yes to both of the questions so the very next day I went out to get me two of these bad boys. One for myself and one for my wife.

Rituals has three editions:

- Sakura (for women) > cherry flower and rice milk scent
- Hammam (more neutral scent) > fresh eucalyptus and rosemary scent
- Samurai (for men) > patchouli and fresh eucalyptus scent

They cost €15 a piece and come with 1 extra refill. You can buy a refill pack for €12,50 (contains 2 refills). I bought the Sakura and the Samurai:

This is how it looks after opening the box:

After taking out the air refresher the refill is visible:

This is what it looks like inserted in the air vent (I can now adjust the air flow with this refresher in it!):

Here's a comparison photo of the Ambi Pur and the Rituals refresher:

I really love how it looks, it looks a lot more luxurious! And the smell of my Samurai edition... my car smells even better than before!

This looks so sleek! Looking for a new refresher for my new car,  but don't think this one will fit on my air vents 😑

But it looks like it's still blocking a fair amount of the airvent. 

It does look nice but the downside is that the logo is so prominent on the front. 

Don't they have a new-car-smell parfume?

To me it looks way better than the well known other type of refreshers. It does take a certain amount of space, that's true but I can adjust the vent again with this one. 

The logo doesn't disturb me I must say... to each his own ;)

I have read somewhere that they have cans of spray with new car smell but I'm not going to spray my car ;)
