Default Scent of a Land Rover

My wife rides shotgun, and complains about what she doesn't like about the Discovery. Constantly. Now, the rover smells like dog and dust.Okay. So what is the appropriate smell?? Lemons?? Herbal tea?? Cracked peppercorn?? WTF??

The appropriate smell is a subtle combination of tweed jackets, mud, and mustiness with minor notes of oil and coolant consumption to balance the bouquet.

Well on a serious note, I have an o-zone generator. Have not used it in the truck yet, but its a great way to purge most odors.

It’s the smell of $100 bills burning.

I believe fine cigars,brandy, and gunsmoke are appropriate. But reality is sweat, mustiness and the indefinable odor of grease, oil, gas and diesel every small mechanics shop has with perhaps just a touch of despair

I need to do this, have purchased a truck with dog odor. Replaced the cargo area carpet, shampooed the rest, headlner is out, is it in the seats? How do I get it out?

yeah. The smell of coolant and melted debit card = crushed dreams. And, getting another wife would cost more than a fleet of Defender 110's

Ozone generator works wonders and lasts at least a month if not longer. The odor(s) can be trapped in your vents so it can help to spray (from underhood fresh air intake) with Lysol, OdoBan or similar product. I also have found that stashing Bounce dryer sheets around the car can help keep things smelling nice and fresh.
