As far as I know, "ambientador" can refer to any of the types of air fresheners, whether it's a spray, a plugin air freshener, or any other type.

Yo creo que si en México dices "quiero un ambientador", te consiguen un animador de fiestas (que hace "ambiente").

Esos ambientadores a los que ustedes se refieren, aquí son aromatizantes.

We'd say "animador, -a" or "relaciones públicas". There are "relaciones públicas" who don't work as "animador", but in discos or hotels, they're called so.

Now, if you allow me, I'll give you an advice about "como/cómo"
(please, if I'm wrong, I hope somebody will correct me )

Como, in the sense "parecido a" - like:

He thinks like you - Piensa como tú (de una forma parecida)

Como in comparison - as:

I'm as tall as you - soy tan alto como tú

Cómo in interrogative sentences (or indirect interrogatives in Spanish) - how:

How do you feel? - ¿Cómo te sientes?
I don't know how I could say... - No sé cómo podría decir... (this is your sentence)

I hope I'm not quite wrong and I wish it will help you
