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 like the concept of the product, and the fragrances smell nice. I wish the viles of fragrances were bigger, as it can run out quickly. If the scent remained longer on the "Balls" then it would be better.

Smelly balls by 3 packets
I recently purchased the set of three packets of the smelly balls. 2 were birthday presents and I kept 1. I put it in my car straight away, and it smells divine! Like coconut and lamingtons!! It’s not too strong. The smell is delicious! Highly recommend!

which scent is which?
Hi Team,
I ordered three different scents this time. However they all turned up in unmarked vials. Which one is which scent?
Hopefully these containers won't leak like the other ones and the scents will last until they are used up.

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 when using that many drops. I feel like you may have received a faulty oil. Please contact us at hello@smellyballs.com.au . We would love to discuss this further 💛
Great name, great product
Great name, great concept, smart presentation and packaging.
Works very well.

The scent doesn't last long
The scent doesn't last long. Have had this product for 2 months now. Love the concept and was keen to buy them even though I had read other reviews saying the smell doesn't last. This is true, when you apply the scent it's beautiful but then it only lasts about 2 days and you need to reapply. It's a bit of a hassle to need to reapply so frequently so we end up just having the balls unscented a lot of the time. A bit disappointed as it's fairly pricey for what it is :(

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're sorry that the oil doesn't seem to last as long as you had hoped.
At SmellyBalls, 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.
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.

Smell didn’t last long but lovely scent
I opened my order 2 weeks ago as I was waiting for my other car air freshener to run out but have just finished the small bottle that comes with the pack. I was abit disappointed as I found myself “refilling” the balls with the scent provided every second day as it didn’t seem to hold its smell very long the honey suckle was lovely and refreshing. overall great product and aesthetically pleasing just disappointing how quickly I went through the bottle provided and the smell didn’t last very long

Thank you for your feedback, Latisha – we really appreciate it. Our fragrances and the strength of scent within your space, really depend on the end consumer. Everyone's sense of smell is so different it is hard to gauge what is the correct strength for each person, as some customers have mentioned some fragrances are overbearing! :-)
We also feel that you may get used to the fragrance being in your car. You may really notice it at first and then as you get used to it, the fragrance may appear to be not as strong. Please get in touch at hello@smellyballs.com.au if you wish to discuss this further...we want you to be 100% satisfied with the product!
