The quick answer
Remove the stopper, screw the lid back on, invert the bottle a few times, then hang it with a short string. When the scent fades, invert it again. That is it.
A hanging car diffuser is the simplest way to scent a car: no plugs, no batteries, no mess. Here is how to set one up properly.
How it works
The wooden lid soaks up the fragrance from the glass bottle and releases it slowly into the car.

Set up in 5 steps
- Unscrew the lid.
- Remove the inner stopper.
- Screw the lid back on, making sure it is secure.
- Gently invert the bottle to release the scent into the lid. Repeat a few times until you can smell the fragrance through the wooden lid.
- Hang it where you like and adjust the string length. Keep it short enough that the diffuser cannot reach the windscreen while you drive.
Where to hang it
Hang it somewhere with a little airflow and clear of your view of the road. It is designed not to leak when used as directed.
When the scent fades
Repeat step 4. Inverting the bottle again lets more fragrance soak into the wooden lid.

Your questions
How many times should I invert it?
A few times at first, until you can smell the fragrance through the wooden lid. Start light; you can always add more.
The scent has faded. Is it empty?
Usually not. Invert the bottle again so more fragrance soaks into the lid.
Will it leak?
Our glass diffusers are designed not to leak, when used as directed.
