Well there you go after owning the car for 10 years I learnt another new thing

No overpowering perfume, just a nice clean smell when done.

Repco auto parts store

My understanding of the recirc button is if you press it it beeps 7 reverts to fresh air after a few minutes, if you hold it in until it give a double beep it stays on recirc (until you stop the car - when you restart it you have to do this again).
Happy to be corrected if I've got it wrong

You are half right.

It works in opposite ways depending if you have the air con set to Auto or manual/economy. If its set to auto it works the way I described. If it is set to manual/economy it work in the way you've described.

I run the aircon on auto 99% of the time. You obviously use manual/economy.
