Aromas On The Go: 4 Reasons to Buy a Car Fragrance Diffuser

Car fragrance diffusers have come along way in recent years.

No longer are you limited to the plastic-y smells of cardboard air fresheners in the shape of cartoon characters. Now, you can enjoy much more sophisticated scents and fragrance combinations. They will positively impact your mood, invigorate the interior of your car and look fancy!

Car fragrance diffusers have many benefits, such as improving focus, promoting calmness, and making the space smell better.

Keep reading for the top 4 reasons why you should try them and our favourite brands that make them…

1. To Stay Alert

One of the most important things a driver can do is to keep focused on the road. Becoming complacent is easy, and this is when accidents can occur.

Many different essential oils are known for improving concentration. But, for some people, a little oil on them or the things they touch can cause irritations. This is where liquidless diffusers can help.

Scarlet & Grace’s small, logo emblazoned car fragrance diffuser disks can last up to 60 days. The Lotus Flower car diffuser releases strong notes of Jasmine, which boosts confidence and alertness.

Ecoya’s car fragrance pods slot on to your car vent and emit scent for up to 3 months. The Cedarwood & Leather car diffuser is great for clearing your mind and boosting productivity. The new Raspberry & Hibiscus car fragrance diffuser is also a winner, with Hibiscus often used to maintain alertness.

2. To Keep Calm

The next best thing to do when driving is to stay calm, as irritability between restless drivers can result in road rage.

Impressively, car scent diffusers can help with this too.

You may think of Vanilla as a pretty run-of-the-mill scent, but it’s actually one of the most soothing. People have used it for centuries to make themselves feel calm and relaxed. Studies show that it is a simple way to reduce stress and anxiety.

Try Scarlet & Grace's Vanilla Patchouli & Sandalwood car fragrance diffuser or Sheike Industries' Vanilla Caramel mini car diffuser for therapeutic and meditative benefits.

Scarlet & Grace's Egyptian Oud diffuser has notes of Bergamot & Jasmine, which are popular in aromatherapy. Sheike Industries' essential oil car diffuer Coconut & Lime helps calm emotions, and Sapphire Sea Breeze brings peaceful beach vibes.

3. To Stop Motion Sickness

Nothing is worse than getting car sick.

It happens when your body, inner ear, and eyes send conflicting signals to the brain, making you feel unbalanced. Symptoms can include dizziness, cold sweats and vomiting. Not fun.

So, if you want to have more comfortable car rides, there are some scents you can surround yourself with that will help.

Glasshouse fragrances’ car diffuser refill Lost in Amalfi contains Lavender, which is great at fighting feelings of nausea. Scarlet & Grace’s 90 Mile Beach diffuser has top notes of Grapefruit, which like Lavender, can soothe angry stomachs.

Ecoya’s Blossom & Spiced Vanilla car fragrance diffuser includes Ylang-Ylang essential oil, which alleviates queasiness and digestive issues.

4. To Neutralise Odours

Last but not least is bad smells. No one wants to drive around in a car that smells unpleasant.

You might have issues with your air conditioning or heating. You may have picked up a variety of hot foods and the aromas have lingered and mingled. Or perhaps you take your pets with you a lot and their scent has started rubbing off.

Covering up bad smells is simple with diffusers, and strong floral and fruity scents work best.

The One Night in Rio refill by Glasshouse Fragrances has a lively scent of Orange, Rose & Passionfruit. Scarlet & Grace’s Champagne and Strawberries car diffuser is rich and aromatic. Both are great for freshening up your car's interior!

Other popular flavors are Guava and Lemongrass. Guava combinations include Guava & Lychee Sorbet by Ecoya and Guava & Passion by Sheike Industries. Lemongrass varieties include Persian Lime and Lemongrass by Scarlet & Grace and pure Lemongrass by Sheike Industries.
