Most people love the invigorating scent of candles, but, unfortunately, you can’t take your candle with you in our vehicle. Luckily, you don’t have to sacrifice safety for a great smelling car! Car air fresheners also make thoughtful and affordable gifts for your friends and family members. Here are some of the best car air fresheners that are sure to please any driver (or passenger).
These are a classic favorite. You can find these on Amazon, as well as Walmart, Auto Zone, and most auto part stores. Little Trees has so many scents to try- from fruity, to floral, to more woodsy, and everything in between. They even have a new car scent. You’ll feel like you just went through the dealership, without the hefty price tag of a new vehicle. The small hanging tree can even provide a nice pop of color and distinguish the inside of your car from others. This definitely comes in handy in a crowded parking lot.
My personal favorite scent from the Febreze collection is Midnight Storm, but Febreze has so many scents, it’ll be almost impossible to pick just one. Febreze has their own scent collection, in addition to partnering with well-loved brands such as Old Spice and Gain. You can usually find car Febreze at Walmart and Amazon. You can place one discreetly on one of the air conditioner vents. If you still want your car or truck to smell amazing, without the free advertising, there aren’t any annoying brands on the scent packets. There are many varieties to choose from; you’re sure to find a scent you’ll love. The Febreze models are fairly small, so you’ll hardly notice them. The scents are very strong, so it is not suitable for those who are sensitive to heavy fragrances.
Perfect for the fashion-conscious individual or shark lover in your life! These freshies double as a car air freshener and as cute car decor. This adorable shark-shaped car fragrance comes either as an iconic shark, as well as other assorted shapes. These car fresheners are made from specialty silicon and wax beads and the scent can last for several months. According to the Amazon website, these sharks can withstand heat and won’t melt in your vehicle. However, due to heatwaves and rising temperatures some states and countries are currently facing, it is recommended to place the shark in a small, sealed bag so as not to create a mess.
This brand sells unscented car freshener that eliminate odors without any scent or fragrances. It’s shaped like a small bean bag, and can be placed almost anywhere in the car to eliminate bad odors. It can last up to two years, and can be re-used as fertilizer for plants. This is great for eco-conscious buyers, as well as for those who are allergic to strong scents.
This air freshener evokes the shape and memory of a candle, sans the dangerous flame. The Yankee Candle comes in lots of different fragrances, from woodsy fall scents to lovely spring florals to sweet vanilla. Simply hang it on your rearview mirror and the scent will waft through your car for up to 30 days.
This scent absorber is perfect for those who are a little more eco-conscious but still want their car or truck to smell fresh. There’s no string to get in the driver’s way, no wax melting, and no heavy fragrance! To allow the scent absorber to work its magic, simply place the packet anywhere in your car. The only drawback to the Mrs. Meyer’s absorber is that it only lasts about a week, so they will need to be frequently replaced. The scent absorbers usually come in packs of 3, so one pack could anywhere from 3 weeks up to a month. There are a variety of Mrs. Meyer’s floral and herbaceous scents to choose from.
