Best Car Air Fresheners of 2025

"I think this car freshener is the best out there! It lasts longer than other Febreze products and brands like Little Tree. Just make sure you get the 'Unstopables' version."

"I found that it smelled great and worked as promised. It's a great value overall. My only issue was with the strength controller; it felt a bit flimsy and often reset itself when I returned to my car."

"I definitely love these! People always tell me my car smells amazing. It's just a pity that, like most car air fresheners, they don't seem to last as long as I'd like."

"This is my second favorable review of this product. While I'm specifically talking about the Barber Shoppe scent, I believe the other scents are just as effective. It has a nostalgic fragrance reminiscent of childhood visits to the barbershop. It's powerful yet subtle, lingering without being overwhelming. The seller provided excellent service with fast shipping. If you're looking for a discreet way to freshen your car, I highly recommend this!"

"I love this product! It smells just like pink sands from my favorite shop, and I’m thrilled that it didn't leak at all! It fits perfectly on my car mirror and was a breeze to install! It does a great job of masking the typical smells that come from having kids in the car. Overall, this is definitely a great value!"

"I received the product in a lovely box with clear instructions on how to use it, even though it’s quite easy. I chose the lavender vanilla scent, and I find it very calming and pleasant. It’s exactly what I saw on TikTok!"

"I recently bought this car air freshener and I couldn't be happier! The installation was super easy, taking just a minute to clip onto my vent. What I love most is the strong, pleasant fragrance that effectively gets rid of any unpleasant odors without being overpowering. It creates a refreshing atmosphere in my vehicle. I highly recommend this air freshener—it's convenient, effective, and just right in fragrance strength. Definitely a five-star product!"

"I bought the Drift Car Air Freshener - Amber Scent Starter Kit and I’m quite pleased! The unique wooden design adds a stylish touch to my car, which is a refreshing change from bulky plastic options. The amber scent is warm and pleasant, not overwhelming at all. Installation was a breeze and I appreciate the eco-friendly aspect. While the scent faded a bit faster than expected, it's still a solid product. A great choice for anyone looking for a subtle air freshener!"

"Okay, I gave this two stars because it is beautiful and holds well, and I don't have to worry about it falling while I drive. However, the scent was very strong initially but faded quickly. I installed them on Saturday, and by Monday, the smell was so faint I forgot they were there. I’m disappointed as I followed the installation instructions carefully. They look great in the car, but the scent didn’t last as long as promised."

"I was initially skeptical of car fresheners, especially after a bad experience with a Febreze pack that smelled like liquid laundry detergent. However, I noticed this one in my mom's car and gave it a try. Now, everyone who gets in my car says, 'Wow, it smells good!' or 'Mmmm, peaches!' It lasted a solid 6 months for me!"

"When friends hop into my car, I receive so many compliments on how great it smells. The scent lasts for weeks, and it's just delicious! I definitely think it's worth every cent!"

"I recently tried the Air Jungles Serene Summer Scent, but it was too strong for me, giving me a headache during short drives. While I liked the fragrance, it was a bit overpowering in my car. If you enjoy more subtle scents, I’d recommend looking for something else."

"I bought this air freshener and another brand priced twice as high, and I found this one to be superior. It has great smells, and even when it's empty, it still emits a scent every time I turn on my car."

"My granddaughter absolutely loved the scent of these air fresheners for her new car that she received for Christmas. It was a hit!"

"Typically, we prefer the platinum ice scent, which smells like men's cologne, but when we couldn't find it, we opted for this one. Unfortunately, we found the new car scent to be overwhelmingly unpleasant. My husband, who works in construction, couldn't tolerate it and ended up moving it to the kitchen. I wish I could describe the scent accurately; it just didn't match our expectations. I would recommend checking the scent in-store before purchasing."

"I was a bit skeptical at first, having tried similar products before that either had an unpleasant smell or hardly any fragrance at all. However, this air freshener has pleasantly surprised me with its delightful scent reminiscent of pipe tobacco. It's a lovely lavender/vanilla-ish aroma that isn't too strong, just perfect for my taste. I hope it lasts!"

"I really enjoy using these air fresheners in my car and office. The scent is just right—not too overpowering like others I've tried. It's a great addition to my space!"

"While I found the scent to be okay, I won't be purchasing this again. Unfortunately, the air freshener leaked within just three days, causing significant damage to my car's trim. The finish has started to peel, and considering the cost of a new trim bezel is $150, this air freshener was not worth it."

"I recently bought LITTLE TREES Air Fresheners, and I couldn't be happier! The scent variety is impressive, and they truly offer long-lasting freshness. My favorite is the 'New Car' scent—it creates a pleasant atmosphere in my vehicle. Excellent quality at a great price! Highly recommend!"

"I received 24 air fresheners when I ordered these. Though I drive infrequently, I noticed my new car smell faded and a funny odor lingered. After discovering the smell source, I placed a freshener under each front seat. Now my car smells like new again! I'll update if the scent doesn't last long."

"This is the only scent I ever use. I love buying in bulk at a reasonable price. I will keep purchasing these to maintain a fresh smell in my vehicles!"

"I love this air freshener! It smells great and lasted over a month in my work vehicle. Even after my co-workers tried to prank me with a foul spray, this air freshener quickly cleared the odor. I’ll definitely repurchase."

"I found this product to be not very effective. The scent was weak, and I couldn't even identify what it smelled like. It leaked on my clothes and turned my hand blue, so I would advise caution."

"This air freshener worked okay but not great for eliminating odors in my car. I've had other fresheners that performed better and had a more pleasant scent. I expected more."

“I was skeptical about trying the spray, but after ordering it, I found that the leather scent is my top choice, followed by the Signature and then the New Car scent. The leather grabs the most compliments and lasts the longest!”

“This product really does deliver a fresh, clean scent. However, I noticed that the fragrance tends to fade after just a day or two. While it’s great for quick freshening, I wish it had a stronger and longer-lasting aroma.”

“I thought it was impossible to replicate the new car smell, but Chemical Guys have truly achieved it! It smells just like new plastic and is incredibly impressive. I’m even considering mixing it with other scents to hit that perfect note!”

"As someone who spends a lot of time in the car, I wanted to enhance my commute experience. I decided to try Yankee Candle Car Air Fresheners, and I’m thrilled I did! These Car Jars add a fresh, inviting scent without being overwhelming or artificial. I love that they’re easy to use—just hang them up and let them work. The variety of scents is fantastic, from Clean Cotton to MidSummer's Night. Now, instead of dreading traffic, I look forward to the refreshing scents filling my car. I highly recommend these for anyone wanting to freshen up their space.”

"I really enjoy these air fresheners! They are small and not overpowering, leaving a nice but subtle scent. Even the men in my life haven’t complained about them. I like them better than any other products I’ve tried. They’re perfect for hanging in my car, and I’ve even used one in my coat closet.”

"I’m quite disappointed with these air fresheners. I’ve used them before and they worked well, but this time, I opened the first one and there was no scent at all. I tried another and got the same result. Upon checking, I found that the gel is almost nonexistent—the centers are hollow and only a little gel clings to the edges. They seem old or improperly stored. When they work, they’re great, but these ones feel spent.”
