The duration of a car air freshener depends on the type of diffusion. Cardboard hangers (pine trees) last 2 to 4 weeks, but fade quickly. Gels in a jar last 1 to 3 months, with a gradual diffusion. Clip-on diffusers on the air vents use refills of 1 to 2 months. Sprays offer an immediate effect, but temporary. For a long-lasting scent, wick diffusers or scented lava stones last 2 to 3 months. Choose an intensity suited to the cabin volume. AGM Vision offers long-lasting scents without harsh chemical products.

The smell of tobacco is particularly persistent, because the smoke permeates all surfaces: fabric, carpet, headliner, plastics and air vents. To eliminate it, start with a complete cleaning of the interior (fabrics, plastics, windows). Treat the air vents with a special air-conditioning antibacterial cleaner. The most effective method is ozone treatment: an ozone generator placed in the closed cabin for 30 to 60 minutes oxidizes and destroys the odor-causing molecules. Then air it out for 1 hour. A simple air freshener will only mask the smell without removing it.

Some air fresheners contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and phthalates that can irritate the respiratory tract, especially in a confined space like a vehicle cabin. Choose air fresheners without phthalates, without formaldehyde and with natural fragrances. Allergic or asthmatic people must be particularly vigilant. A healthy alternative: activated charcoal sachets absorb odors without releasing fragrance. Air out your vehicle regularly for 5 minutes to renew the air. AGM Vision selects air fresheners compliant with European standards on chemical substances.

The smell of mold indicates a water leak or excess humidity. First look for the source: worn door seals, clogged gutters, wet carpets, a dirty cabin filter. Dry the damp areas with a wet vacuum or a dehumidifier. Clean the affected surfaces with an antifungal product. Replace the cabin filter and treat the air-conditioning ducts with an antibacterial spray. A dehumidifier sachet (silica gel or activated charcoal), placed in the cabin, absorbs excess humidity. AGM Vision offers interior cleaners with anti-mold action.

The choice of scent is personal, but a few tips help avoid mistakes. Fresh scents (mint, eucalyptus, ocean) give a feeling of cleanliness and suit most drivers. Woody scents (cedar, sandalwood) bring a warm atmosphere. Fruity scents (vanilla, cherry) are pleasant, but can become cloying in summer. Avoid overly intense fragrances, which cause headaches on long trips. Test a light scent for a week before committing. AGM Vision offers samples to find the ideal scent.
