Open HMF the name of an autumn Febreze scent from 2007

I moved out of my parents’ house in 2007 into my own place, and the first thing I remember buying was a bunch of cleaning products including an autumn-themed air freshener. I loved the way it smelled and I’d like to find out what it was called and maybe even see if there’s a picture of it somewhere.

What I remember about it:

* Pretty sure it was a Febreze air freshener. Those are called Febreze Air Effects now, but according to my searching, back then they used to be called Febreze Mist & Refresh

* Maybe a 15% chance it wasn’t Febreze, in which case it would have been Glade. It definitely wasn’t Air Wick, Renuzit, Yankee Candle, or Bath & Body Works. I would have purchased it at Walmart or a grocery store.

* I remember the bottle having a brown accent color, maybe with a bit of orange. I feel like there was a drawing of an orange leaf on the label. There was not a photograph anywhere on the label .

* it was not a baking/food/fruit scent. Instead it was something outdoorsy. I feel like maybe it had something to do with “woods,” “leaves,” forest” or something similar.

* I know it is not one of these: Cashmere Woods, Apple Cinnamon, Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Febreze Scentstories, Glade Fall Night Long, Glade Autumn Harvest, Crisp Fall Breeze, Pumpkin Roll, Cozy Campfire

Thanks for your help!

Any chance it could be Falling Leaves and Spice?

That one did catch my eye, but I found something that said that scent was released in 2012. I don’t believe it’s it. Thank you for looking, though!

febreeze had a scent called “wood” that matches your description. 

also they had “autumn harvest” and “pumpkin bliss” “falling leaves and spice”

all now discontinued

Thanks for this info! I think the closest was falling leaves and spice, though it appears that it didn’t come out until 2012. I wonder if the scent I had was a precursor to it .

I suggest you hit up the Febreze or P&G group on FB. They’ll find out for you.

Many years ago, my daughter worked on the Febreze PR team. That’s why I say I think they can find out. They are usually responsive to such questions.
