It is, but of the genus chemical freesia-drain unblocker+hint of lavatory cleaner-bears no resemblance to the real thing. And no more strange surely than Ocean Breeze(anti-freeze+soupcon of paint-stripper)Alpine Meadow(blocked drains+dog flea spray) . . .

Yes it is used in cars, although maybe not as often as pine or green apple :)

I don't honestly see how it could be anything else - a freesia's a freesia, with it's own specific scent! However, it is sometimes (although not in Webster) spelt as 'fresia'/'freisia'/'friesia' - but, as far as I can tell, they're all variations on the same, sweet-scented theme!
Note from asker:
is it a common scent in cars? It just seems like a weird choice.
Peer comment(s):
agree allp : exactly what I wanted to write, only I was a bit late - you can't use another word unless you want to change the scent as well :) // but we know better, don't we? ;)

Although Shakespeare wouldn't agree with us:"That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet"!//Yup!Like Gertrude Stein:"A rose is a rose is a rose, is a rose" :-)))

agree bartek : :-) If you could find my old questions - I would "describe" them using that "A rose is a rose....:-). Funny, I forgot about the words :-(. In Polish we have "Koń, jaki jest, każdy widzi" :-))
