Woody Wonders: Experience the Calming Power of Nature on Every Drive

So many of today’s scent products—including car fresheners—are housed within a plastic body and incorporate synthetic fragrances that can cause more harm than good. However, once you’ve experienced the difference of sustainably sourced materials and pure fragrance blends, you’ll find yourself gravitating toward eco-friendly scent solutions that are as good for you as they are for the environment. You can find these car air freshener wood products available exclusively from Drift. 

Why Choose Wood Over Traditional Car Fresheners?

If you’re looking for a low-waste scent option to elevate your car’s interior, a Wood car freshener offers a superior choice for several reasons, including the following: 

• Stylish: Regardless of the type of wood used for the car freshener, each piece has a particular grain and color to it that draws the eye. 

• Natural material: Compared to synthetic materials, wood doesn’t introduce harsh chemicals into your car’s interior to wreak havoc on your senses. 

• Biodegradable: You can easily reuse the scented block of a wood car freshener or recycle it appropriately. 

• Long-lasting scent: The nature of wood lends itself to a long-lasting aroma that’s pleasant to experience. 

Wood car fresheners can also be easily customized if you make your own. For example, you can soak a small piece of wood in your favorite essential oils and place it in your vehicle. However, you’ll need to find a way to keep the wood away from the fabrics in your car, as the oils can seep out of the wood and stain them. 

How Wood Car Fresheners Retain and Release Fragrances

If you’ve ever stained or lacquered wood, you know that the pores can easily soak up liquids left on the surface. This same porosity makes wood the perfect vehicle for retaining and releasing fragrances. In addition, wood doesn’t require heat, fans, or an electronic connection to diffuse the scent; it happens passively, as the wood’s pores breathe. 

Wood’s sponge-like tendency offers several additional benefits, including a slow, even release and moisture regulation. Unless wood is soaked in a liquid for a long period, it typically doesn’t sweat liquid like other substances might. The even scent distribution also makes wood car fresheners ideal, as most drivers and passengers prefer a subtle, long-lasting scent, rather than a concentrated cloud of scent delivered by sprays and similar products.

Popular Scents for Wood Car Fresheners

Wood car fresheners come in various scents, from lavender and citrus-based scents to more earthy and grounded fragrances. The best part about using wood as a fragrance base is that it can soak up a fair amount of scent while releasing it gradually so as not to overpower your senses. Drift’s Wood fresheners tap into some of these same scent profiles, including the following: 

• Pine: Comprised of mountain pine, cedarwood, moss, and musk, this scent will make you feel like you’re in the middle of a pine forest. 

• Teak: Teakwood, amber, cedar atlas, and oakmoss blend into a powerful scent that’ll make you want to curl up in your favorite armchair. 

• Amber: Decadent yet bright, amber features eucalyptus, French lavender, golden amber, and vanilla.

• Cabana: Pretend you’re sipping a margarita on the beach as you take in the scent of coconut, sea salt, bergamot, and cedarwood. 

• Grove: Experience a heady blend of mountain greens, vanilla sugar, blond wood, and juicy citrus. 

• Open Air: The clean and fresh scent of Open Air incorporates morning dew, crisp linen, fresh air, and white wood. 

Drift also offers the Wood car freshener in an exclusive scent that only customers who are part of the Scent of the Month Club receive. This monthly scent varies depending on the month and season, but often follows seasonal trends.

How to Use a Wood Car Freshener 

Drift makes it easy to enhance your vehicle’s style and elevate the space with our signature Wood car freshener. When you receive your first Wood freshener from Drift, you’ll find a sealed scent block and a metal visor clip inside. Keep the scent block sealed and out of direct sunlight until you’re ready to use it. 

The provided metal clip has a squared edge on one side and a rounded edge on the other. When you place the clip on your driver’s or passenger’s side visor, the squared edge should face out toward you. This side is where you’ll put the scent block once you remove it from the packaging. 

It’s often easiest to place the scent block on the metal visor clip and then slip it onto the visor directly. The scent block attaches to the metal visor clip via a magnet located inside the block. When it’s time to replace the scent block, you can easily detach it from the visor clip and replace it with a freshly scented block from Drift.
