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.

So glad you have had a great experience with us! Thank you for leaving us a review 😍
Didn’t live up to expectations.
I’m surprised that so many people give these such high reviews. The concept is cute BUT you basically have to use half a bottle of the scent to smell anything. Not what I would expect for the money you pay. Didn’t live up to expectations and would not recommend.

Reply from Smelly Balls
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're stoked to hear that you like the concept, but we're sorry that the oil doesn't seem to last as long as you had hoped.
At Smelly Balls, 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, which is one of the great perks of Smelly Balls, as they can be reused again and again. 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.

Hello Liz, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that you were pleased with the delivery and communication aspects of our service. However, we are sorry to learn that the fragrance oil did not meet your expectations in terms of longevity.
At Smelly Balls, we pride ourselves on using only premium, Australian-made fragrance oils to ensure that they leave your car smelling amazing once applied. We also use wool as it is highly effective at trapping the scent.
If you suspect that the oil you received was faulty, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at hello@smellyballs.com.au so that we can send you a replacement. Alternatively, you may wish to use your own fragrance oils with our reusable balls. We are committed to making sure you are fully satisfied with your purchase, so please let us know how we can be of assistance.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for supporting us.
Look great however doesn't work as well as I had hoped
The idea is great and the balls themselves look nice. The scents are also fantastic! However the longevity of there smell is very short, I have gone through half of the bottle in the pack already and the put more on almost every 2 days. Also the frangrance discolours the lighter balls making them look dirty which I am disappointed with. Overall happy however I do not think I would recommend or continue to purchase due to the price and outcome.

I love that the company is based in Australia. The oils take me back to long summer days and days spent on the beach.

OBSESSED!
LOVE my smelly balls! I was given some as a gift and I am now obsessed. I’ve tried 4 different fragrance oils and I love every one! The scents are amazing and last so much longer than than the cheap car air fresheners from the shops!
