Aromatizing a car interior is not just a way to eliminate an unpleasant odor, but a whole science of creating a comfortable atmosphere. Many drivers mistakenly believe that it is enough to simply spray the spray into the air, but for Japanese brand products Eikosha there is a specific algorithm of actions. Improper use of the concentrated composition can lead to the appearance of a sharp, suffocating odor that will irritate the driver and passengers for several days.
The correct approach to using the spray Air Spencer allows you to enjoy a subtle, subtle aroma that lasts for a long time. Unlike cheap analogues, Japanese concentrate requires precise dosage and compliance with certain ventilation conditions. If you want your car to smell expensive and of high quality, you must strictly follow the recommendations of the manufacturer and experienced users.
In this guide, we will look at all the nuances: from choosing the concentration to spraying technique. You will learn why you should not spray the product on plastic or skin, how often you need to renew the scent, and what hidden tricks there are to enhance the effect without harming your health. Proper use is the key to ensuring that the smell will please you and not cause a headache.
Choosing the right concentration and aroma
The first step in the flavoring process is choosing the right product. Ruler Eikosha offers different concentration options, and the choice depends on your goals: whether you need to quickly refresh your interior or create a long-lasting background scent. The most popular option is the series Squash with a concentration of 12%, which is considered the golden mean for daily use in passenger cars.
For those who prefer richer scents or plan to scent larger spaces, there are options available at 18% and even 24% concentrations. However, it is worth remembering that the higher the percentage of aromatic oils, the more careful you need to be with the dosage. For beginners, it’s better to start with lower values so as not to oversaturate the space and get the opposite effect in the form of a chemical amber.
- 🌿 12% (Squash) - an ideal choice for the interior of a passenger car, soft and unobtrusive smell.
- 🚙 18% (Mega) - suitable for large SUVs or if you like more pronounced aromas.
- 🏢 24% (Strong) - professional concentration for offices, large vans or quickly neutralizing strong odors.
When choosing a scent, you should also consider seasonality and personal preference. In summer it is better to use fresh, citrus or sea notes such as Island Fresh or C-1which create a feeling of coolness. In the cold season, warm, woody or sweet compositions would be more appropriate, for example, Vanilla or Bourbon.
Preparing the salon before treatment
Before you take the bottle, you need to prepare the room. The flavoring will not be able to mask the smell of burning, mold or spilled milk - it will only mix with them, creating a disgusting cocktail. Therefore, initial cleaning and ventilation are mandatory steps. Make sure the interior is clean, the floor mats are emptied, and the trash containers are empty.
Open all car doors for 5-10 minutes to allow for a draft. This will ventilate stale air and prepare surfaces to accept a new aroma. If the interior is humid, for example after rain, it is better to dry the carpets first, as moisture can distort the perception of the aroma and reduce its durability.
☑️ Preparation for flavoring
It is also important to check the operation of the ventilation system. Make sure that the air ducts are not clogged with leaves or dust, as when you turn on the heater or air conditioner, the accumulated dirt can spread throughout the cabin, ruining the whole job. The purity of the system is the key to the uniform distribution of aromatic molecules.
Correct spray technique
The most critical point is the application process itself. Many people make the mistake of spraying the spray directly onto the seats, dashboard or door cards. Eikosha Concentrate contains oils that can leave greasy stains on fabric, leather and plastic, and cause them to warp or fade. Never aim the jet directly at interior surfaces.
The correct technique is to spray into the airspace. Stand outside the car or near an open door, holding the cylinder at a distance of 30–50 cm from the passenger compartment. Apply one or two short sprays (sprays) to the center of the cabin, directing the stream upward or diagonally so that the mist settles naturally.
Shake the can for 3-5 seconds before each use to better mix the ingredients.
After spraying, immediately close the doors and leave the car locked for 15-20 minutes. This will create a “gas chamber” effect, allowing the scent to evenly permeate the upholstery and hard-to-reach areas. Then open the doors for a couple of minutes to clear away any excess concentration before boarding.
⚠️ Attention: Avoid getting the spray on the windshield and mirrors! A greasy film from the fragrance can create glare in the sun, which is dangerous for driving, and will require the use of special glass cleaning products.
Use of replaceable cartridges and diffusers
In addition to sprays, the brand Eikosha known for its diffuser cartridges, which are installed in air deflectors or suspended in the cabin. This is a safer and more durable way to flavor. The cartridge does not require active action after installation, providing a constant, background smell.
To install the cartridge into the deflector, you simply insert it into the air duct slats. The air flow will independently carry aromatic molecules deep into the cabin. The rate of saturation depends on the intensity of the blowing: the stronger the stove or air conditioner blows, the brighter the smell.
- 🌬️ Installation in the deflector: ensures rapid spread of odor when ventilation is turned on.
- 📦 Hanging cartridge: gives a softer and more constant aroma that does not depend on the operation of the stove.
- 🔄 Replacement: The cartridge is changed when the smell becomes barely noticeable, usually after 3-4 weeks.
The secret to activating the cartridge
If the new cartridge smells faint, warm it slightly (for example, by placing it on the dashboard in the sun for 10 minutes) or vigorously wave it in the air. This will “wake up” the aromatic oils.
Frequency of use and dosage
Determining the optimal frequency of use is an individual process, depending on the volume of the cabin and the sensitivity of the driver’s sense of smell. For spray Air Spencer with a volume of 80 ml, one full bottle with proper use (1-2 sprays per week) lasts for 2-3 months. You should not try to “fill” the interior with aroma at one time.
Excessive use leads to an addictive effect: you stop feeling the smell, and passengers suffocate. It's better to add one drop or make one extra spray after a couple of days than to create a suffocating atmosphere right away. Remember that the smell in the car should be background, it should not interrupt the smell of cleanliness.
For cartridges the situation is simpler: they are designed for a certain service life. However, evaporation occurs faster in hot weather, so replacement may need to be done a week earlier in the summer. In winter, on the contrary, one cartridge can last for a month and a half.
Safety precautions and storage
Products Eikosha contains flammable components and therefore requires strict safety precautions during storage and use. The cylinders are under pressure, which makes them sensitive to temperature changes. They should be stored in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and sources of fire.
It is especially dangerous to leave cylinders in a car in the summer, when the temperature inside the car can reach 60–70 degrees Celsius. This can lead to depressurization of the cylinder or even an explosion. Always take fragrances with you when leaving your car in a parking lot on a hot day.

| Children | Keep out of reach | Giving into hands like a toy |
Safety First: Never leave pressurized cans in your car in direct sunlight as this may cause interior damage or fire.
⚠️ Attention: If liquid gets into your eyes, rinse them immediately with plenty of clean water. If irritation persists, consult a doctor. Do not inhale the concentrate vapor directly from the cylinder spout!
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How long does the scent last after one spray?
When used correctly (1-2 sprays in a well-ventilated room), the smell lasts from 3 to 7 days. Durability depends on the volume of the interior, air temperature and frequency of ventilation of the car. In winter the aroma lasts longer than in summer.
Can different Eikosha scents be mixed?
Technically possible, but not recommended. Mixing different compositions (for example, citrus and wood) can give unpredictable and unpleasant results. It is better to use one scent until the end, after airing out the interior if you decide to change the scent.
Is the spray safe for children and allergy sufferers?
The products are certified, but contain synthetic flavors. For people with hypersensitivity or asthma, it is recommended to first test the scent by staying in the treated car for a short time. For children, it is better to choose neutral, light scents.
Why did the smell disappear after a day?
This may be due to the addictive effect (you no longer feel it, but it is there), poor interior sealing (frequent opening of doors) or the use of a fake. Also, the smell disappears faster when using the air intake mode from the street.
What is the difference between an original and a fake?
The original cylinders have clear printing, a high-quality atomizer and a characteristic metallic sound of the liquid when shaken. Counterfeits often have smudged text, cheap plastic, and a strong chemical smell of alcohol instead of the advertised scent.
