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 agre... See more

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.

I love the product

I love the product. It’s not only useful and eco friendly it’s also very cute and much prettier than classic air refresher.
Plus, it’s super handy as I also use it as a wardrobe refresher. The different scents are equally amazing which make the decision harder! :-)

Love love love my smelly balls!

Love love love my smelly balls! I got the coastal drift scent and it’s incredible, so fresh and clean smelling! The scent lasts for ages too. I forgot my windows down one evening and when I got back to the car the next morning the whole garage smelt incredible! I can’t wait to try more scents when I run out of this one!

These smelly balls are a great idea

These smelly balls are a great idea. I have 4 because I couldn't decide on a color. The only problem I find is that the oil does not pour out easy and I need to almost smash it on the balls to get it on there. These make a gorgeous addition to a Christmas present.

Love the Tobacco Vanilla!

Love the Tobacco Vanilla!! I do not smoke but love a tobacco scent (and I am sure I am not the only one!) and when I saw this in a shop on a recent trip I had to buy it.
The smell is not intoxicating but pleasant and subtle. It isn't a chemical smell like a lot of car fresheners either.
Looks great too!!

A bit disappointed

I’m a little disappointed to be honest in the price vs product. I’ve used nearly half a bottle of scent on my purchase and can’t smell it at all after the first day. Wouldn’t purchase again.

Hello Jody, thank you for your message. We are really sorry to hear that, I will get a member of our team to email you and discuss a replacement oil as it should definitely be strong smelling with half a bottle! Our product is also Handmade using sustainable materials and artwork designed in-house and our oils are made from high quality Australian oils we are not your everyday car air freshener. We will be in touch 😊

Great product. Got it a 2 weeks ago and still smells good plus when the smell does run out you have the oil to reapply.

Amazing

Amazing! I always receive compliments on how nice my car smells and I get to say "it's because of my smelly balls". To be frank, I initially loved the brand because of the name but now I'm hooked on their amazing products!!!

Fantastic product!

Fantastic product! Highly recommend to anyone who wants an alternative to the classic paper ones that don’t last more than a week.
Absolutely love that you get to top up the scent once it runs out - add as much or little as you like too!
