When I was a smoker (quit 6 weeks ago!) I used this spray for my car, jackets, and self before entering work and I asked a coworker recently if she ever knew I smoked or if I smelled like it. She said, no never! That I always smelled like perfume or just had a good smell about me. This brand (the 3 scents I’ve tried) work well to eliminate odor. I now use it as a room spray and continue using it for my car, smells great and works good. Isn’t too overpowering.
