Scents and Non-Scents: I am a NOSE.

The Walgreen's generic citrus Lysol sprayed on my car vents on the hood below the windshield (what my mechanic advised) worked. Now everything has aired out and evaporated and my car now smells only vaguely like a rental car. Soon it will smell like coconut candle wax which is my car's odor by my choice. No more rotting mouse smell.

My car smelled like old dusty newspapers when it was given to me even after cleaning it a few times. Somebody had given me a big scented candle in a glass jar with wooden lid, after teaching a bread workshop. I keep the scented candle in my car's cup holder (unlit of course) and the scent is my air freshener. It becomes molten lava in the summer and at those times I put on the cover to avoid burns and spills. So far it's been working for over a year. When Bill borrowed my car he kept reaching for his coffee and getting candle wax on his fingers. We laughed about that.

 

A woman I know, she is adorable and giggles a lot. She told me her bird flies all over the house freely presumably pooping and peeing on everything. One day she buzzed down the car window to say hello and her car smelled like a bird poop. Then I remembered. She lives in a bird cage!
