Jelly Belly do a spray. Can't tell you how long it will last, but the solid freshener I had lasted best part of 3 months and the smell was very strong.

As said, california scents. You can keep te lid on for a month with the vents fully open, then if you find the smell is dying (it shouldn't be after just am onth) then take the lid off and stand the blocks up. They do a shit load of smells aswell, look on ebay and you can get like 5 for £7 last time i looked and get to choose what scents you want.
Tom, try the door card pockets

Another here for the Cali scents, normally get a good months worth of smell with the vent right open and they're cheap as on eBay

Cali scents all the way!! Cool little tins, adjustable vents and a smell that is as fresh after 6 weeks as the day you put it in! We bought about 5 last year from a VW show at Tatton Park, still got 2 left!!
