WE ARE BACK!

We listened, refined, and rebuilt.

After 12 months of relentless R&D—countless trials, testing new ingredients, new equipment—we’re finally bringing back our air fresheners for an early test.

From V1, we closely monitored feedback and after selling out, we decided to pause production to set ourselves a new higher standard.

Now, V2 delivers 25% more product, 2 new food/cosmetic-grade ingredients, an improved seal, and a world-first internal gel structure for improved scent throw and intensity—all with a more refined production process.

Same original scents. Same firm gel. Same application. Now, you’ll be amongst the first to try it and we’ll keep refining it to push performance even further!

FAQs

How does the air freshener work?

Our unique formula features a gradual self-evaporating process that releases fragrance embedded within the gel.

By positioning the air freshener at the front in a well-ventilated spot it will naturally shrink and disperse, filling your vehicle with a refreshing scent.

You may find it gets stronger with time!

As the gel gradually shrinks, its side area becomes exposed - in turn increasing the gel's surface exposure to fresh air which allows more aroma to diffuse. This leads to a long-lasting scent experience.

The above process is intensified when the windows, sunroof, or air conditioning are in use, as air is being circulated throughout the cabin which allows for more scent to be diffused.

Handy Tips:

When in use, take the lid off for a stronger scent experience or keep the lid on for a more subtle aroma (as some people may be sensitive to scents).

We recommend placing the air freshener at the front in a well-ventilated area for optimal performance.

How long do they last?

Our air fresheners typically last for a couple of weeks+. Through customer feedback and testing, smaller vehicles like coupes, hatchbacks and some small sedans can last over 1 month+, sometimes way over!

SUV and large vehicles have bigger interiors, therefore it affects longevity and scent strength when compared to smaller vehicles.

There are various factors, such as cabin size, ventilation, and temperature that can influence longevity.

For optimal performance fresh airflow is needed and we recommend placing the air freshener at the front within a well-ventilated space.

I can't smell my air freshener anymore?

There may be a number of reasons/factors to why you can't seem to smell your air freshener's scent anymore.

A common reason is Scent/Fragrance Fatigue, also known as Olfactory fatigue. It's when your body naturally becomes desensitised to the same smells / strong odours. Extended exposure prompts our olfactory (smell) receptors to adapt by reducing sensitivity to those smells.

Below are some additional steps you can take to improve the scent output.

1. Reposition: Try moving the air freshener to a different location in your vehicle, ensuring it has optimal and regular exposure to airflow. Large cars such as SUVs and Wagons have big cabins, therefore it may take some time to notice a change, you may find placing it at the front near an air vent will help circulate the scent around the vehicle quicker.

2. Ventilation: Ensure that there is proper ventilation in your vehicle, as fresh airflow can help disperse the fragrance effectively. Stagnant air reduces the scent output.

3. Swapping: Try switching to a different scent. Every scent is comprised of different fragrance notes that may be more noticeable than others. For Example Cool Melon's tang and freshness can be more prominent than Very Vanilla's refined sweetness.

Temperature and Humidity are factors to consider as well. Cold weather can reduce our ability to smell, whereas on hotter and more humid days it enhances our sense of smell, as the humidity carries odour to our olfactory (smell) receptors more effectively.

It's normal to get accustomed to the scent overtime, making the scent less noticeable. You may want to try one of our previous steps to boost the scent output or even switch to a different scent.

What are the practical reasons for using air fresheners?

Overtake Scent’s air fresheners serve a number of practical purposes that make them a valuable addition to any vehicle cabin or small space.
