The anticipation of getting a diffuser for your car or home can quickly turn into a question of where to place it for maximum effect. While there’s no wrong answer, it’s a good idea to try out a few different spots. In addition, rotating your diffuser throughout your home and vehicle can help better diffuse the scent.
The guide below offers inspiration for where to place your home or car scent diffuser to disperse the scent evenly. Each space has its own set of considerations. Explore Drift scent diffusers, including our premium car fresheners and stylish home scent diffuser.
Where to Place a Scent Diffuser in Your Car
In comparison to your home, the size of your vehicle lends itself to fewer spaces to place your scent diffuser. However, the small space makes it even more important to find the ideal spot to keep your car smelling fresh without feeling overwhelmed by the scent. Explore below where to place a scent diffuser in your car.
Cupholder
Many scent diffusers, especially those that are battery-powered or rechargeable, fit easily into a cupholder. Modern vehicles are typically equipped with more cupholders than you can count on one hand, so there are plenty of choices regarding diffuser placement. However, placing the diffuser in the cupholder does mean you sacrifice that spot—at least for the near future.
Hanging from Rearview Mirror
Car scent diffusers commonly hang from the rearview mirror because it’s centrally located and near the largest concentration of air vents. Hanging diffusers tend to disperse their scent faster due to their location. Yet, having something hanging from the rearview mirror can prove dangerous in some cases.
Under the Seat
If you prefer your scent diffusers to be smelled rather than seen, placing them under the seat is a popular solution. However, some diffuser types—such as those that incorporate gel beads or other loose materials—can complicate under-the-seat placement, as they’re prone to tipping over and spilling out. Depending on what you drive, you may also not have enough room under the seat.
Dash/Vents
Placing your car scent diffuser on the dash or the vent fins works well for products that are as attractive as they smell. Most vent clip scent diffusers also incorporate multiple intensity settings, allowing for adjustment based on personal preferences. Just be cautious not to leave any scent diffusers located on your dash in the sun in case they begin to melt.
Visor
Of all the spots to place a car scent diffuser, the visor is probably the most subtle and overlooked. Scent diffusers placed above the driver’s and passenger’s heads are out of the way, yet they still diffuse scent without becoming overwhelming. Scent diffusers that fit on the visor often use a clip, similar to what you’d see on a garage door opener.
Where to Place a Scent Diffuser in Your Home
Expecting a single scent diffuser to provide even scent coverage in your home is a big ask, but it can be done—with the right placement. Check out the common areas listed below for inspiration on where to place a scent diffuser in your home.
Entryway
Locating your new home scent diffuser in the entryway can help give guests a memorable first impression of your home. Your comings and goings can also create airflow that helps disperse the scent. Depending on the design, scent diffusers can also blend into the decor, making them unnoticeable to the untrained eye.
Kitchen
Placing a scent diffuser in your kitchen can either prove the best decision you’ve made—or make your food taste like a fresh batch of clean laundry. Scent diffusers can work in the kitchen, but it’s a good idea to use food-friendly scents, such as amber or vanilla.
Bathroom
It shouldn’t take much to convince you of the benefits of a scent diffuser in the bathroom. The diffuser's placement depends on whether you have an open outlet or a small niche where it can tuck in and do its thing.
Living Room
As one of the many frequented rooms in your home, your living room might be the hardest to scent. Strategically placed scent diffusers can blanket the area with a pleasant scent.
Bedroom
Similar to the living room, bedrooms are typically where we spend most of our time. The best part about scent diffusers is that you can place one in each bedroom to disperse an attractive aroma. However, each occupant can pick their own scent to express their personality and tastes.
