Abstract: The invention is an air freshener for use in automobiles, having a base-power unit and a detachable fragrance dispersing unit. The fragrance dispersing unit has a heating element disposed therein and is adapted to receive standard replaceable gel-scent cartridges. The detachable fragrance dispersing unit can be attached to an automobile vent system to utilize the vehicle's air moving system to disperse the fragrance throughout the automobile. The power supply in the base-power unit allows a user to select between drawing power from a cigarette lighter plug, a battery disposed within the base power unit, or a solar electric cell disposed on the outer surface of the base power unit.
