Find my commute scent

If you drive to work, your car is the first room you sit in every morning and the last one before you get home. A good scent will not fix the traffic, but it makes the same journey feel a little better. Here is how to pick one that suits the way you drive.

Drift Mist diffuser, fabric spray and boxes in a car

Morning: fresh and light

Early starts call for something clean that wakes you up without filling the car. Fresh and fruity scents work best here. Start light, because scent builds up in a small space, and you want it pleasant at 7am, not heavy.

Drive home: warm and calm

After a long day, a warmer scent helps the car feel like the start of your evening. Woody, amber and leather notes are softer on the nose and easier to sit with in slow traffic.

Weekend: something with character

The weekend drive is the one you choose. It is the time for the bolder scent you might not wear to the office, the one that makes the car feel like yours again.

Four scents for the working week

Leather scent notesLeatherDrive home. Smooth and calm. The Brave scent notesThe BraveWeekend. Lavender and nutmeg over agarwood.

Three tips for a daily driver

  1. Hang it where the air moves. From the mirror or near a vent, with the cord short so it never reaches the windscreen.
  2. Keep a spare in the glovebox. Swapping scents with the seasons stops your nose tuning one out.
  3. Treat the seats now and then. Coffee, lunch and gym kit end up in the fabric. A light mist of fabric spray resets it. Our guide to gym and takeaway smells shows where.

Your questions

Will a scent be too strong on a long commute?

Start light. Hang it, give it a day, and only add more if you want it stronger. Scent builds up in a small space.

Is it OK to hang a diffuser from the mirror?

Yes, as long as it never blocks your view. Keep the cord short so it sits high and still.

Will a glass diffuser leak?

Our glass diffusers are designed not to leak, when used as directed.

Any three for £29.98, each boxed, delivered free.
