Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does the air freshener work?
Our unique formula features a gradual self-evaporating process to release the fragrance embedded within the gel.
- By positioning the air freshener in your vehicle it will naturally shrink and disperse, filling your car with a refreshing scent.
- As the gel gradually shrinks, more of its side surface area becomes exposed - in turn the increased exposure to air allows the gel to produce more aroma and leads to a long-lasting scent experience.
- The process is intensified when the windows, sunroofs, or air conditioning are in use, as air is being circulated throughout the cabin which allows for more scent to be produced.
More Handy Tips:
When in use, take the lid off for a stronger scent experience or keep the lid on for a more subtle aroma.
We recommend placing the air freshener in a well-ventilated area for optimal performance.
How long do they last?
Our air fresheners typically last for a couple of weeks or more. Through customer feedback and testing: Coupes, Hatchbacks and Sedans have seen some scents last on average 1-2 months.
There are various factors, such as cabin size, ventilation, and temperature that can influence longevity.
For optimal performance we recommend placing the air freshener in a well-ventilated area.
