I purchased 3 different smelly ball gift packs. They were reasonably priced considering they can be reused and will last much longer than other car fresheners. They also were very quickly delivered. I... See more

So, “what are Smelly Balls?"… In a ‘nut’ shell, they are reusable air freshener balls that hang in your car that make it smell great. When they need a little freshen’ up – whip out the Fragrance Oil and top them up! We like to call them the Road Trip Essential! The best thing about them is, not only do you get to choose the fragrance separately, but you get to control the intensity of it – to suit your precious nose! Smelly Balls can be reused again and again and come in a range of different colours made sustainably using cruelty-free materials. Smelly Balls is more than just a funny name and some sweet, sweet scents. We work with women in Nepal that are breaking down generational barriers and creating a new and improved life for themselves.

The liquid damages your car interior/smell isn't atrong
My sister and I use smelly balls. My sister just purchased a new vehicle and while refilling, dropped a drop of liquid without noticing. It has completely messed up the material on her console. I agree with other users that the smell can be rather lacking unless you put on half the bottle, and even then, it disappears quickly.

Doesn't smell
I poured more than half the fragrance bottle on the balls but they don't smell at all unless I put my face up to them. Was going to get some for my sister too but not going to anymore if they don't smell.

The refill bottles leak like crazy
The refill bottles leak like crazy. I tried putting it in a ziplock bag and it still leaked. I then tried double bagging it and it still didn't work. The product smell is nice but the price is ridiculous, especially if all of the product is being wasted. I'd recommend putting a better seal on the bottles.

Waste of money
The balls are good quality, the oils however are terrible. I just received mine last month, with the 'Rio' oil, which smells beautiful, but it has ZERO scent throw. I've poured almost the entire bottle on them and can only smell it when I press it to my nose.
Massive disappointment, spent $32+shipping for a terrible product.
Don't recommend.

Shines in eyes
Great smell but the little silver tag/pendant could be dangerous whilst driving. Luckily we have it facing the passengers seat and it was only reflecting the sun into my eyes and not my partners whilst driving.
Otherwise great smell :)

Low fragrance compared to previous batches
I had a set of balls and honeysuckle fragrance from last year that lasted in my bedroom all year.
Bought some new balls and fragrances just a few weeks ago and the fragrance hardly smells at all and is very thin and watery. Previously it was thick and oily and would stick to the outside of the balls.
Now it just soaks in and loses smell after 2 days.
The older ones would last weeks
