Air Fresheners & Odour Control

Two kinds of product sit here: fresheners, which add a scent, and odour eliminators, which treat a bad smell instead of covering it. The fresheners run from hanging cards and 3D shapes by The Hyped Source, Strictly Static and Jelly Belly to DoDo Juice and Secret Scents sprays, Designer Fragrances blast cans and AIRED. scented oils for an in-car diffuser.

How to choose

• Hanging Air Fresheners: scented cards, 3D shapes and wooden pendants for the mirror.
• Vent Air Fresheners: clip-on vent fresheners from Little Joe, plus AIRED. diffuser oils.
• Under-Seat & Can Air Fresheners: California Scents cans and Bio-Bombs bars that sit out of sight.
• Spray Air Fresheners: bottles to spray under the seats or into the footwells.
• Aerosol Air Fresheners: blast cans that scent the cabin in a few short bursts.
• Car Perfumes: Fresso perfume in glass bottles, misted over the mats.
• Odour & Smoke Eliminators: for smoke, pets, food and damp, including whole-cabin odour bombs.
• Air-Con Sanitisers: cans run through the ventilation to clear a musty vent smell.

Good to know

A freshener only covers a smell. Find and clean the cause first (a spill, a damp carpet, an old cabin filter), use an eliminator if it lingers, then add the scent you want.

Which type of car air freshener is best?

It depends on how you want the scent. Hanging cards and shapes are the simplest, vent clips spread scent with the airflow, under-seat cans and bars stay out of sight, and sprays and aerosols give a quick, strong burst. For a smell that keeps coming back, clean the cause and use an odour eliminator: a freshener only covers a smell.
