The limited edition collection was crafted by fragrance experts who spend countless hours creating the perfect harmony of fragrance notes representative of the natural elements found in these national parks and pays homage to the brand's "The Craft of Fragrance" creative platform.

"Air Wick is thrilled to partner with the National Park Foundation to preserve and celebrate the purity and beauty of America's over 400 national parks," said Domenick Tiziano, Senior Brand Manager, Reckitt Benckiser.  "While not every consumer has visited a national park, these fragrances are a catalyst for the senses, transporting the consumer to some of the nation's most amazing places."

The full range of products, available in stores now, retails from $2.99 - $5.99 and includes scented candles, freshmatic auto spray refills, scented oils and reed diffusers.  Each of the six new fragrances evokes the scent and rare essence of one famous national park, helping families bring nature home:
