But it would smell like Irish SpringPut a bar of Irish Springs soap under the front seats for a fresh scent.
Car air fresheners: PSA

True story: We put an A/C evaporator in an elderly womanās car. She came back a week or so later and blamed us for an awful smell in her car.But it would smell like Irish Spring
I walked out to the car with her (and her friend), opened the door and was gagging at the smell. First order of business was to check under the seats. I pulled a Pyrex dish from under the passenger seat and pulled back the foil on top to reveal what appeared to be a large āPetri dishā of mold.
Her friend immediately blurted out: āSee, I told you the mechanics didnāt steal your lasagna!ā

ugh weirdest shift knob i've ever seen, i could see me breaking it. Long like volkswagen superiority!
IMHO the "air fresheners" only mask smells. I take pride in keeping my interior spotless. That being said, my 2016 Kia smelled like blue hair old lady perfume when I first bought it. I tried everything to get that smell out nothing worked so I broke down and got some of the febreeze vent clip airfresheners. They seemes to work, until the liquid ran out and bam back to the original blue hair smell. It took 1 year to get the smell out. Now my car just smells like leather. One of the biggest improvements was using an a/c condenser cleaning foam thru the drain tube and changing the CAF every 6 months (oem has activated charcoal.) The problems with odors is that every piece of fabric in the car absorbs them. The headliner, carpets, and seats all are oder magnets.
For anyone with bad smells, just buy amn Ozone generator and let it air out afterwards. They're cheap nowadays.
That doesn't look like damage from the air freshener but from their hands.
Odor Genie is my go-to. $4 at Home Depot and toss it under the seat. Lasts for a few months.
And I am not lazy about care cleanliness. Car is regularly washed, vacuumed, interior plastics cleaned with either Mothers VLR or Meguiars Interior Cleaner/Detailer. There is no eating or drinking anything allowed [other than water].
I just like the subtle smell of the odor genie.

I had one of these break/fall (The string let go) on the center console area of my 95 Rivera. It lifted the vinyl right off.
I had a work friend give it to me so I felt obligated to have it up for a little while. I don't use these anymore, but I do use Ozium when I detail someone else's car under the seat if it has some residual funk, or if I need to clean up a smokers car (Gross). Not everyone want to pay for the whole thing so sometimes you need to use shortcuts. The Ozium has some great results with a new cabin filter with a general wipe down of surfaces, and a cursory seat cleaning. It's not perfect though.

After having had the occasional smelly passenger, I've sprayed a little Floris No. 89 around the backseat.
I'm partial to Morning Fresh, sometimes New Car Smell

Vanilla/Royal Pine/Leather/Flag scents are the official air fresheners of my childhood riding in the back of a clapped out Panther platform car service to cover up musty smoke smell, because NYC car service
Covers up all popular smokes, Newport, Kool, Black & Mild, Denoble, Avanti, even Swisher Sweets or Pall Mall
My father was smart with his, we'd pull the seats and scrub the rubber floor of his '96 CVPI with Fabuloso or Mistolin

It's not really a shift knob. It's pretty common on a lot of Mercedes cars. It controls the infotainment system. You can write on it with your finger in some applications. In fact, there are TOO many ways to do things on Mercedes cars. There's this thing, and a round knob, and some buttons both here and on the steering wheel. It is just confusing there's so many ways to do the same thing....but shifting isn't one of them!
If I take my through a tunnel car wash that offers a scent, I ask for light scent and usually pina colada. Many places just give you a wafer for air freshener now.
