Most cars smell of whatever happened in them last. The gym bag, the wet togs, the coffee that did not quite make it into the cup holder. A vent clip the size of a matchbox is the quickest way to change that, and this is the one we keep coming back to. The Ecoya Car Diffuser is a compact clip in solid metal with a satin charcoal finish that sits quietly against most interiors. There is no liquid to spill, no wick and no battery. A solid fragrance pod sits inside behind a magnetic panel, and the air from your vent does the rest through a fine pinhole design. Each pod lasts up to two months, and your fan setting controls how much of it you get. It arrives with a Lotus Flower pod included, so there is nothing else to buy on the day. Refills come in seven scents in packs of two, which works out at around four months of fragrance. Choosing your scent Sandalwood & Amber is the warmest of the range and a natural pick for winter. Sea Salt & Coconut suits a car that spends its weekends near the water. Mandarin & Gin is the pick for long drives. French Pear will be familiar to anyone who already burns the Ecoya Madison jar candle at home, and running the same scent in both places quietly links the two spaces together. Guava & Lychee and Sweet Pea & Jasmine are the brightest of the seven, and Lotus Flower, the pod in the box, sits in the middle as the soft floral all-rounder. The rest of the Ecoya range is worth a look if you want the house and the car to agree with each other. Worth knowing before you buy A diffuser adds fragrance, it does not remove it. If something in the car is causing a smell, clear that first and the diffuser will do a far better job. Our guide to making your car smell beautiful covers this in more detail. A good gift, and an easy one This has become one of our most reliable answers for the hard to buy for. It is useful, it needs no explaining, and it sits right in the range most people want to spend. It is a favourite in our gifts for him edit, works well for a new driver, a teacher at the end of the year or someone who drives for a living, and makes a very good stocking filler at Christmas. A pack of refill pods is a sensible small gift on its own for anyone who already owns the diffuser. Why You'll Love It Solid metal in a satin charcoal finish rather than plastic Clips discreetly onto a car vent, with a pinhole design that lets the air carry the scent A magnetic panel makes changing pods quick and simple Up to two months of fragrance per pod Lotus Flower pod included with every diffuser Refillable in seven scents, so you never replace the metal unit No batteries, no power supply, nothing to spill Getting the Most From It The driver's side centre vent gives the most even scent through the cabin. If you usually have passengers in the back, a side vent will push it further down the car. Change the pod when you stop noticing it, and take out any other air freshener first. Two competing fragrances in a space that size never resolve into anything good. The same principle works elsewhere in the house. An Ecoya mini reed diffuser does the same quiet job in a bathroom or entryway, where one well-chosen scent works better than several. In the Box 1 x Ecoya Car Diffuser in satin charcoal metal 1 x Lotus Flower fragrance pod Refill pods sold separately in packs of two How long does one fragrance pod last? Up to two months, depending on how often you run the fan. A refill pack of two pods gives you roughly four months. Will it fit my car? It clips onto the slats of a car air vent. Vent designs vary from car to car, so if yours are round or unusually shaped, take a quick look at them before you buy. Can I buy refill pods separately? Yes. All seven scents are available here as refill packs of two, so you only ever buy the metal unit once. How do I change the pod? Open the magnetic panel, place the fragrance pod inside, then close it and clip the diffuser to your vent. Use your fan settings to adjust how strong the scent is. What it comes down to The Ecoya Car Diffuser is a satin charcoal metal vent clip that scents your car for up to two months per fragrance pod. It comes with a Lotus Flower pod included, and refills are available in seven scents in packs of two. There are no batteries, no power supply and nothing to spill, and because it adds fragrance rather than masking it, it works best in a car that has had a quick clear-out first. One of the simplest upgrades you can make to a daily drive, and one of the easiest gifts we sell. Available online and in store at 270 Maunganui Road, Mount Maunganui.
