> I also love that it’s emulating a scent that’s from off gassing that we’ve known for years is probably terrible for you.

Is an artificial air freshener much better from an air quality perspective though?

Dunno, I just like the idea that it's a smell designed to emulate a potentially harmful manufacturing byproduct that people just happen to like. It would be like making cigarette car smell or something.
