10 Best Car Air Fresheners UK 2024 | Little Trees, Yankee Candle and More

The modern classic that has rightly, or wrongly, knocked the Little Trees of their perch is surely the Jelly Bean from Jelly Belly. We've plumped for blueberry scent, but there are up to 12 different fragrances to choose from tutti frutti to mojito. 

As well as the big, cover-everything scent, we also love the bold, pop art design. You get around 21 days out of it, which actually comes out as better value than some vent clip-on designs. Plus, you'll be able to pick up a few different scents, always keeping your car odour fresh and interesting. 

This one is for the eco-friendly folk, because not only are the oils used completely organic, but the packaging is 100% recyclable too. It also has a long-lasting (60 days) fruity fragrance that you can control the intensity of, thanks to the adjustable lid. 

With a massive 4.5 out of 5 on Amazon, you know the company are doing something right. It's certainly a powerful smell, so it might not be for everyone, but if that's what you're looking for you'll certainly find it here.

Designed to clear away tough, lingering odours and leave behind only a light and fresh scent, it's hard to argue with one of the nation's favourite cleaning manufacturers. This set comes with everything you'll need to get started, and from there you can simply buy the refills at a lower cost each time to top up. 

Lasting for 30 days, cotton fresh is described by the company as a pure, invigorating breath of fresh air that will feel like the cool mist of a waterfall. We don't quite know if that's the case, but it'll certainly smell a lot better than the McDonald's wrappers you've got in the footwell.  

Little Trees air fresheners are somewhat of a right of passage for new drivers – if you haven't bought or been given one of these for your wheels, can you even drive? They've come a long way from the alpine scent though, now providing over 30 different fragrances. 

We've gone with 'new car scent' because as people who love driving know, there really is nothing like it. Furthermore, for just over a fiver you'll get up to 6 months of fresh-smelling journeys. Talk about value for money! 

The number one choice of the counterculture for as long as they've been around, Mr Zog's Sex Wax air fresheners are sure to be a hit with camper van drivers up and down the country, or anyone looking for something cooler than your average. 

Known for their big, powerful, and strong scents, these are not for the faint-hearted, but luckily with this assorted multipack, you have the choice to explore and find your preferred fragrance. Hang loose guys. 

The world-renowned manufacturers have taken a leap into the travel scent industry with a range of car air fresheners. They have a series of hanging 'car jars', but we've opted for the vent clip-ons as they have a stronger, longer-lasting scent.

Midsummers night is an exciting mix of musk, patchouli, sage, and mahogany cologne, but other scents are available. The only downside is that the company claims that to get the best from it, the temperature should be about 21 degrees, though you'll probably have the car heater on anyway during the winter!

This stylish oil diffuser has been crafted from natural wood. It's based on the classic unisex fragrance Creed, which has notes of pineapple, musk, bergamot and vanilla all blended to create a woody aroma. 

If you're fed up of floral scents or looking for something a little classier, it's certainly a good option. You can also refill it with either the same scent or another of your choosing, however, it is rather small so you might need to remember to top up fairly often. 

This interior odour eliminator was designed specifically to eliminate odours at source, and not just cover them up with a fragrance. The product can be sprayed onto car carpets, upholstery or used as an air freshener then left to get to work banishing cigarette smoke or that wet dog smell.

Moreover, once it removes bad odours, it continually reactivates to deodorise bad smell with its odour lock system, leaving a wild fig and cassis fragrance reminiscent of Mediterranean warmth. The only downside is that it requires some time to fully dry.

This essential oil air diffuser is sure to leave your car smelling charming and attractive no matter which water soluble essential oil you decide to use. Furthermore, its 2-hour automatic shut-off prevents potential harm from running without water. 

As we mentioned, these plug-in styles of air fresheners can be a little strong for some people, so it may be worth sticking to purely natural oil, or avoiding if you're sensitive to smell. Also, it's rather big, so may not be ideal if you're driving a manual where the port is close to the gear stick. 

Here is an air diffuser for those who are looking for something a little more luxurious than your average. Diptyque, the French-based high-end brand, have duly provided. They're known for their fantastic fragrances, and they've simply transferred these sumptuous smells from perfume bottle to car. 

This particular scent, Baies, is a floral and fruity smell that will no doubt leave you feeling like you've just left the glorious-smelling perfume aisle at House of Fraser instead of your car. The downside is it's going to cost, but you'll get up to 3 months use out of it first!
