What’s New: Drift’s Sleek Updated Metal Car Freshener

The shape and color of our new metal car freshener are probably the first two things you notice about it—beyond our signature “drift” logo. The previous design featured a round footprint that made it easy to insert the freshener into your car vent and enjoy a lasting scent. With a twist of the body, you could adjust the intensity or replace the insert with your chosen fresh scent.

As effective as the prior metal car freshener was at elevating a vehicle’s interior through its modern design and deluxe scents, we knew conquering 2025 demanded a bold and stylish redesign that set the bar—high. The time for blending in has come and gone, and now we’re ready to make it known that Drift metal car fresheners are the real deal. We’re stepping out in our best to meet 2025 head-on. 

Drift’s new metal car freshener features a sleek, coppery exterior complete with beveled edges reminiscent of the lines of your favorite sports car. Yet, there is one feature of our metal car freshener that hasn’t changed: our exclusive indulgent scents! Like a shiny penny on the ground that brings you good luck, this latest rendition promises a future of decadent scents designed to delight your senses, including: 

• Drift’s Scent of the Month
• Cabana
• Teak
• Amber
• Open Air
• Grove
• Pine

Get ready to treat your car and yourself with an instant scent upgrade, courtesy of Drift. Enjoy premium fragrance for up to 30 days without worrying about a bulky car air freshener taking up precious space in your ride. 

How to Use the New Drift Metal Car Freshener 

Your Drift metal car freshener starter kit includes the updated metal body and your selected scent. When you receive your new metal car freshener, follow the steps below to begin your scent journey: 

1. First, assemble the car freshener by detaching the freshener’s back plate and removing the included clip. Then, ensure the sliding tab faces down when you reattach the back plate to the metal cover. 
2. Place the clip over the center circle on the back plate, twisting it clockwise until it clicks. The clip is now securely attached. 
3. Now, it’s time to insert your selected scent into the freshener before installing it in your vehicle. Gently pull the metal cover from the back plate to remove it. 
4. Remove the scent insert from its packaging and secure it inside the metal cover. Reattach the metal cover and back plate, ensuring the sliding tab is facing down. 
5. Place the metal car freshener in your vehicle in a preferred location, such as on the driver or passenger air vents. 

As air flows through your car’s climate control system, it will pick up your selected scent and disperse it through the cabin. The new metal car freshener’s design incorporates a sliding tab that allows you to micro-adjust the scent intensity to your preference. 

A Fitting Addition to the Modern Drift Car Freshener Lineup 

As you ring in the new year, it’s essential to bring with you everything that worked wonders in the previous year—including Drift’s Wood and Stone car fresheners. Every bit as stylish and modern as the updated metal car freshener, these two sustainable versions feature exquisite essential and fragrance oil blends. Plus, our signature car fresheners are always free from mineral oils, phthalates, DEA, formaldehyde, petroleum, propylene, dichlorobenzene, parabens, and other harsh chemicals. 

Our Wood and Stone car fresheners effortlessly snap onto a metal clip that slips onto your driver or passenger visor. The snug clip keeps the essential and fragrance oils from transferring to your car’s interior but lets those deluxe scents waft through the air as you go about your life. Best of all, Drift car fresheners are vegan, cruelty-free, GMO-free, and safe for children and pets.
