Car air fresheners VS Car Diffuser - What is the difference?

A car air freshener and a car diffuser are two different products that are used to provide a beautiful scent to your car, but they work in different ways.

A car air freshener typically comes in the form of a hanging object that releases a pleasant scent into the air. These types of car air fresheners are great to release an instant strong fragrance into the car but do not last very long.

On the other hand, a car diffuser is a device that disperses a fragrance into the air and is typically a small glass canister that holds the fragrance solution. The fragrance is then soaked into the car air diffuser’s lid, slowly releasing the scent into the air. These types of car air fresheners can either be hung from the mirror in the car or attached to the vent section using a car air vent clip.

What are the benefits of a car fragrance diffuser?

1) Longer Scent Throw Time:

Car diffusers last a lot longer than car air fresheners. During the testing of our car air diffuser, we were seeing results of up to 4 weeks. The reason why car diffusers last longer is that the fragrance solution absorbed into the lid releases the scent. This is different from hanging car air fresheners, which release a strong scent by rapidly evaporating and disappearing quickly.

2) Fragrance Control:

Unlike car air fresheners, which, when taken out of the packet, are left to hang in the car, evaporate, and quickly lose their scent, our car fragrance diffusers come in 5ml sized frosted glass bottles with a wooden lid. As you tip the lid and allow the fragrance to absorb into the wood, this allows you to be in full control of the car diffuser’s scent throw strength and, in addition, increases how long a car diffuser can last by weeks.

3) Aesthetics:

Car fragrance diffusers like ours come in frosted glass bottles, which offer you a premium look and provide a gorgeous finishing touch to your car.

4) Environmentally Friendly:

Car air fresheners are typically made from paper but unfortunately are not recyclable due to being soaked in a specific fragrance. A car fragrance diffuser, on the other hand, uses glass bottles which can be recycled or be refilled and used again. Allowing you to not only be more environmentally friendly but also allow you to continuously keep using the same car fragrance diffuser bottle.

5) Versatility:

Car fragrance diffusers can either be hung from your car mirror or attached to a car air vent by using a clip. This offers a wide range of versatility options on how or where you place your car fragrance diffuser within your car.

Are car diffusers worth it?

This all comes down to personal opinion and preference, but there is a wide range of benefits ranging from being reusable and being an environmentally friendly alternative to car air fresheners to offering a long scent duration of up to 4 weeks. All in all, car fragrance diffusers are a great option to bring a beautiful scent to your car along with a beautiful sophisticated touch.
