Also, you might want to vacuum the car. A pomander is a nice, pleasantly old-school choice. I'd use a lot more cloves than this guy, though. And you don't need to use an orange; a lime or lemon would do as well.
It's sort of a spicy, sweet, autumn-y kind of smell, but isn't fake or chemically and it seems to neutralize more than it covers up, if you know what I mean - this is good, because nothing is worse than a stink covered in something sticky sweet. Plus, it would be hilarious to hang one complete with ribbons, etc.
Instead of a fake pine tree, how about a real small evergreen bough? Dryer sheets in the shoes at night. Vanilla air-freshener in the car. Done and done. Put an open box of baking soda in a secure place to absorb old odors, clean that sucker out and then make little sachets read: mesh bags with yummy smelling stuff in them and distribute them throughout the car including in your stinky shoes.
I live in Texas where rosemary grows by the bushel at every street corner and I made little rosemary sachets out of old pillowcases and put them in the pockets behind the seats, in the glove compartment, under the seats, and in the trunk.
But I love rosemary, so I didn't get sick of the smell. To make the sachet: Cut two six inch squares out of your old pillowcase Stitch them together on three sides just sloppy needle and thread in and out, nothing fancy Fill the little bag with yummy smelling stuff Fold the top and staple shut. That way you can quickly and easily undo the staples to replace the rosemary, lavender, or whatever. Sounds like a lot of work, but it really doesn't take too long and then everyone who gets in your car is like, wow!

I got this tip from Car Talk a long time ago, and it's gold. Roll down your windows. You could get pine essential oil and put a little of it on a piece of unglazed pottery, and stick it anywhere in the car.
It'll absorb into the pottery and slowly release pure pine-ness into the car. You can get the oil and a pottery infuser at any hippie store, probably. The soap doesn't melt. My brother had a really old car with seats that were rotting, making a weird sharp smell, and the soap trick really helped. Best answer: I use those eucalyptus sticks that you can buy at the florist [or the florist section of the supermarket.

I dunno, I guess I found it a bit strange. I do not know if I would do that. Some incense are made with chemicals that could be toxic if burned in a small space like that.
There are plenty of other kinds of air fresheners made for cars. It is an effective way to get a smell that will stick around. If you burn them every day then it tends to soak in to the car and keep the smell. The issue is that you could drop it and burn a hole in the seats or carpet.
I'd be worried about burning something in the car, personally. I also think that it's a little intense for such a small space. If it came to that, I'd burn the incense in a holder that could collect all the ash, and only when not driving the car. I'd be afraid of causing myself harm with all of the chemicals in the small passenger compartment. I don't think I would want to inhale all of that smoke.
You could have some bad health effects from doing something like that. I had a friend in High School who would use the little pyramid style ones and burn them in the ash tray. Oh dear, I won't even think about it. Luckily there is no reason to do it if it's for the purpose of eliminating odor.
I don't even like air fresheners in the car. I wouldn't want the smoke to get crud on my window. That is smoke, right? Ive never done it "All I have is my balls and my word, and I don't break them for anyone!
