I wonder how many Jeep sites have written a review of an air freshener...probably not many.

Jeeps, because of the usage they get - rained in - mudded in - and generally abused, can sometimes develop characteristic smells. Thus, the air freshener.

Generally, the air fresheners that I've used (the little Christmas tree fresheners that smell like a pine forest), are overwhelming. When you get into a car it doesn't smell natural, but like an evergreen tree has been squeezed of its sap. Because of this, I went with the new car smell fragence. I'm not a fan of hanging an air freshener from my rear-view mirror so I wanted something that can be somewhat hidden. What I found was The Bug.

The Bug it a little piece of rubberized something that kind of sticks to things like a slappy hand toy, but it's not greasy.

I made The Bug's home just in front of my shifter.

Now the question, how does it smell? Actually, surprisingly, not bad. It isn't overwhelming; In fact, you can barely notice an air freshener smell at all. It basically just covers up the Jeepy smell. So, for now, I like it. we'll see how The Bug fairs at my next 3,000 mile check-up. I can always pull out the can of Raid if I don't like it!
