Pleasant surprise, impressed!
It seems as if every scent made by CG had mixed reviews, so I thought it would be best to get small amounts of each and try them out. Let me first say, these smell exactly how they should smell. New car smells like you’d expect, same with leather. Grape and honeydew smell like you’d expect. The signature scent or “stripper” scent is really soft and warm..no pun intended. The bubble gum has an almost minty quality to it, but overall is not mint smelling. Black Forest smells like a young mans cologne, similar to but not exactly like “black ice” by littletrees. Each smells pretty much as I would have assumed, although I’m surprised how pleasant they are. I would never have my car smell fruity, but the grape and strawberry weren’t that bad actually, very mellow and not too sweet smelling. I could see myself having any of these in my car, and love having the options for my customers. People who think these don’t smell strong enough or aren’t what they thought, most likely have brain injuries or smoke cigarettes which is causing them to loose touch with their sense of smell. I shook each up before spraying, then did one spray into a box, each into a different box. Left the boxes open in my garage for an hour, just went out and they all still smell so they are definitely more than “15 minutes” or whatever people were saying lol. If one spray can stay that distinct in an open garage for over an hour, multiple sprays onto a carpet in an enclosed space with most likely last days to weeks. But most importantly, it smells good, it smells like what you’d expect, and it lasts long enough to be enjoyed.

Great way to get variety scents
The number one complaint about this product is longevity. That does have truth to it; you lose the initial hit after a very short period of time. But, that's because of two reasons. One, it's a water-based product. It's not designed to last long. Water-based products are gentle and evaporate off, and that's a good thing. Oil-based fragrances can stain and leave residue behind that attracts dirt and dust (and even they don't last forever). Two, your sense of smell works in such a way that it starts to "adapt" to whatever is in your environment after just a few minutes, so that you no longer smell any lingering odors (good or bad) in order to be able to detect new ones. I have given rides to many friends who compliment whatever air freshener is in my car long after I am completely oblivious to it.As far as the actual product itself, this is a great way to try a lot of different Chemical Guys scents before you get a full bottle. These sample bottles are also bigger than I thought they would be. They are the perfect size to stash in a glove box or door panel, and should still give you enough sprays for a few weeks of light duty use. Having used mostly the original "So Fast" apple-scented version, I can tell you that Chemical Guys air fresheners are mostly suited to destroying airborne odors or those that have a very weak source. If you are dealing with things like rotting food, spills, dogs, or heavy smoking, air freshener will only cover the smell temporarily and you're going to have to attack the source. These products are best used as a finishing touch in a cleaning/detailing process, or as something nice to enjoy in relatively well maintained interior (or home).Scent is incredibly subjective, so here is my take:- "New Car" does have that plastic-y, clean smell. Never been a fan of new car scent, but this one is more refreshing and less chemical-y than most, so it's not noxious like those kind of air fresheners normally are to me.- "Leather" is pretty spot on for its namesake. They did a nice job capturing that in a bottle. It probably would make a leather-upholstered car feel a lot cooler.- "Signature Scent" (formerly known as "Stripper Scent," and I'm personally glad they are ditching the frat boy culture) and "Black Frost" are two sides of the same coin. Both are based on women and men body sprays, respectively. The women's is a fresh, vanilla kind of perfume, and the men's is like Irish Spring soap and cologne (or, to put it in the words of a female friend, "it smells like boy," haha). I enjoy both of these.- One review for "Chuy Bubblegum" said that it smelled more like cinnamon than actual bubblegum. For me, I definitely get mostly bubblegum but there is indeed a vague hint of cinnamon to it. I wouldn't be surprised, as it is Mexican-themed in both name and label design. Points for the play on words there, at least. Chuy Bubblegum was surprisingly one of my favorites.- "Honeydew" did not really smell like honeydew at all. It weirdly has a lot of bubblegum top notes with a sweet, candy base note. There is a subtle fruit element to it, but nothing specific. It smells okay; I just don't get any melon off of it. This one was a little bit of a letdown, but I will still use the rest of the bottle.- "Strawberry Margarita" definitely has strawberry to it, but it's more like a strawberry jello shot than a margarita. It is definitely another of those sweet smelling sprays. I was a little unsure if I was going to like this one or not, but it's good.- "Purple Stuff" was the one I was actually most looking forward to, because I love all things artificial grape. I was hoping for either a Crush soda or Jolly Rancher type of scent. It definitely smells like grape, but unfortunately whatever they threw in there to give it the "fizzy soda" vibe to it just smells medicinal to me. It's like grape-flavored chewable tablets. It made me very sad.Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking to try Chemical Guys scents.

Smells great
Smells great. Hard to describe but a smell I instantly recognized but don’t know how. I sprayed it on a sponge and put it under my seat. It lasts about a week but the people driving the car get used to it and don’t smell it. When my husband gets into my car, he can smell it every time. I recommend getting several that complement each other and rotating everytime you spray your sponge. I don’t spray the carpet because I use this weekly and don’t know what that would do to my carpet. Might be fine though. It doesn’t seem to hurt the rubber floor mats but only the overflow gets in it.

Broken Spray top, fragrance doesn't last long.
It does smell good BUT the smell doesn't last long and unfortunately for mine the sprayer doesn't work. It won't pull the product up into the sprayer to disperse it. I squeeze the bottle to make it come out because it has a lock top sprayer so I can't get it off to switch the sprayer out with a working one. That's a good and bad thing lol.

It really works!
This is by far the most accurate smell of bubblegum! If you love the smell of bubblegum,you’re gonna love this one. You definitely will not regret it if you try this. My car smells amazing! All you need is just one small spray, and you are all set. Nice job chemical guys.💯💯💯💯😄

What’s your mood for the drive
What mood are you feeling today, use this to change the smell of my car on a dime and it lasts
O**O
The new car was leaking and there is nothing left 4stars
As a car detailer I really like the bubble gum smell I haven't tried spraying any of the smells yet but out the bottle they smell great. I'm not too sure how long they'll last I do like how there is a variety though. everything smelled great I'm not really to sure about the new car smell bc it was spilled before I used it but the bottle smells a little weird I'm not sure if that was the smell or not I'm glad that one spilled out of the 8. Also the black frost/ black ice smells awesome too and is too to over powering or generneric smelling. I would purchase the bigger size individual bottles next time 😁 overall I am happy with my purchase
