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.

Bit disappointed

Balls are cute & love the footy colours but smell doesn’t last as I thought it would - I even soaked them

Sorry, to hear this Rowena. We're committed to using only the highest-quality, Australian-made fragrance oils, so we're confident that they should leave your car smelling great once you've applied the oil. If you feel that you may have received a faulty oil, please don't hesitate to contact us at hello@smellyballs.com.au, and we'll be happy to send you a replacement.

Alternatively, if you prefer, you can use your own fragrance oils on the balls. We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase, so please let us know how we can help.

Thank you again for your feedback and support.

The fragrance actually lasts

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first bought smelly balls. The name made me laugh, I actually bought two lots and gave one to my bestie. She loved the product she told me the smell actually lasts. I bought another one as well as larger bottles of fragrance. Keep doing what you are doing they are lovely 😊

Smellier Balls

I really love the look of my balls. But they arent very smelly. I would suggest a stronger smell on the smelly balls. I pures the whole vile on them too.

Smelly Balls Rock!

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’m looking forward to sending one to my brother who just got his license! Thank-you for your lovely gift packs that look and smell amazing!
