Saw this the other day and DIED laughing.

The copy reads: "Find yourself in the idyllic paradise of the Virgin Islands National Park and uncover the delightful notes of tropical plumeria and sweet honeysuckle."

"Tropical plumeria"? Are they kidding? Has anyone at AirWick actually SMELLED the VI? To what, praytell, "tropical plumeria" (I KNOW they're talking about frangipani, but reallly) are they referring? HOVENSA petrochemical plumes? That stench from the Captain Morgan distillery? Rotting fish at the south shore salt pond? The mountains of trash (once I found an actual porcelain toilet) left behind at Salt River or Kramer's after a long holiday camping weekend? The crap that comes out of most of the Senator's mouths?

Too easy. AirWick! Come smell us!

I think Lameshur smells wonderful! I doubt the AirWick could get the scent of the water just right, though.

Airwick - Yuck! (td)(td)(td)(td)(td)

My last tenant had a cinnamon scent one in the downstairs rental apt. and the sickeningly sweet smell had me reeling.
I had to ask her to get rid of it. It was disgusting. Much nicer to have fresh air or the natural smells of real nature and real frangipani.
Forget the checmially induced scents which are overpowering and nauseating.

alana agree with you, i had to ask a downstairs neighbor to stop using pinesol because the scent was too much for me. also had to ask him to not use certain incense.

No, they didn't. Smelled a lot like failure.
