So this is probably one of the coolest concepts ive seen in a while, mos def a must have in any Latino Vehicle. Cruisin with Cultura!!! You can buy these Air Fresheners at
www.fuchilafreshners.com
Spanish Translation:
Fü•chee•lä (noun) : phrase used when something is smelly or off-putting usually olfactory-related.
"Fúchila," exclaimed Orlando, " did you just take your shoes off!?"
Motivation:
First and foremost, Fúchila is based on great design and making people happy. The olfactory system is strongly linked to the areas of the brain involved in motivation and long-term, emotional, place memory. Through scent and design, I want to bring back those iconic figures we grew up with and with them the fond memories of our childhood.
Story:
One day, I pulled up to a light and I realized that everyone around me had the same feo "little green trees" on their rear-view mirrors. What you hang from your mirror says a lot about you. That is why I started Fúchila Fresheners. I designed a line of air fresheners that not only look and smell great, but you can hang with orgullo from your mirror (even long after the smell has faded). No gas station air fresheners ni que nada!
I typically portray the actors, musicians, comedians and historical figures that I grew up idolizing. It isn't a secret that I'm Chicano or Mexican-American, but I designed Fúchila Fresheners for all people.
I'll take care of the packaging, so don't try and put me in a box.
Con Amor,
-Ruben
La Mera Frida
4.99
Scent: Plumeria. Smells like a bouquet of flowers.
The most iconic eyebrows ever, Frida Kahlo (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) is most well known for her beautiful and symbolically rich self-portraits. The Mexican painter's work (largely ignored while she was alive) was emblematic of the rich indigenous tradition and had an uncompromising depiction of the female experience. Her life long health problems caused by a major accident she suffered as a teenager informed a lot of her work as she was constantly in isolation recovering. She did all this while also putting up with her husband, Diego Rivera. In other words, Kahlo was a badass ruca.
El Heroe: PRESALE
4.99
Roberto Gómez Bolaño (Feb 21, 1929 - November 28, 2014) better known as Chespirito, is regarded as one of the most important Spanish-language comedians of our generation. He was internationally know for his works which he wrote, directed and starred in including Chespirito, Chavo del Ocho, and El Chapulin Colorado. His spirit and love for his craft lives on through the loving, conniving, and almost innocent characters he created. Just recently, Netflix posted the entire El Chapulin Colorado series. Grab some popcorn with Tapatio and limon and take a seat, because a marathon is in order. Síganme los buenos!
Paletero Cart: PRESALE

Scent: Strawberry. Enough said.
After church, down the street, or by the park...those bells are unmistakable! It's the paletero man! Ice-cream and sheer happiness on wheels. If you have a sweet tooth, fond memory of asking your parents for a dollar and running after the bells then this Fúchila Freshener is for you! Ándale, you can finally afford your own paletas!
El Burrito
4.99
Scent: Wild Cherry
In pre-colonial times, the Aztecs had a ceremony to celebrate the birthday of Huitzilopochtli, the god of war. After the Spaniards' conquest of the area, the ceremony was co-opted for purposes of converting the natives to Catholicism. The ceremony included breaking a large container full of treats. Although breaking a piñata today has lost a lot of its religious character, the party really doesn't start until your Tio climbs on the roof and starts pulling on that rope! Make it easy on yourself and buy El Burrito for your car and you can have all the candies you want! We won't judge.
SOLD OUT / La Calavera

A week before his death, El Enmascarado de Plata showed his face bidding his fans farewell.
La Chingona: PRESALE
4.99
