Frequently Asked Questions

Need help with something? Here are our most common questions about Scentie, from formats and care to orders and billing.

General

Everything you need to know about how Scentie works day-to-day—from who it’s for, to how long it lasts, to how to get started with your first car freshener.
What is Scentie?

Scentie is a premium in-car freshener made from refillable pieces of wood, stone, and metal. Each piece comes pre-scented with our core fragrances and is designed to sit neatly on your visor or vent, giving your car a calm, signature scent for up to 30 days.

Who is Scentie for?

Scentie is for drivers who care about how their car feels as much as how it looks—people who want a subtle, elevated scent instead of harsh sprays or paper cards hanging from the mirror.

Do I need an account to shop with you?

No. You can check out as a guest. Creating an account just makes it easier to track orders, save your details, and see your scent history.

Can I buy Scentie as a one-time purchase?

Yes. You can buy a Discover set or top-ups whenever you like. We also have a subscription services for people who prefer automatic refills, this way we process your order and have it delivered before you use up your current scent block.

Which cars does Scentie work with?

Scentie works with all car brands and models that have a standard sun visor or air vent. Our visor clips and vent clips are one size fit all, designed to be slim and secure so they don’t get in the way while you drive.

Scents & formats

A closer look at the Scentie range: the difference between Wood, Stone, and Metal, how our core scents work, and how to choose the format and fragrance that feel most like you.
What’s the difference between the Wood, Stone, and Metal car fresheners?
  • Wood – Hand-finished wood grain; warm, familiar, and classic.
  • Stone – Smooth, minimal stone with a soft finish; sculptural and subtle.
  • Metal – Satin metal with a clean, modern profile; perfect if you like a sharper, more technical look.

All three use the same scents, the only difference is the material and style.

Are the Scentie blocks pre-scented?

Yes. Every Scentie block (wood, stone, or metal) is pre-scented. You don’t need to add oil before the first use, just clip it in and you’re ready to go.

What is the small vial in my kit for?

The vial holds extra fragrance oil so you can re-soak your block if you ever feel the scent is a bit light during the month. The block will already be scented; the vial is there for a quick refresh, not for every single day.

How long does each Scentie block last?

Each block is designed to last up to 30 days. How long it feels “just right” will depend on your car’s temperature, airflow, and how strong you like your scent. Once the block stops giving off scent, it’s time to swap it for a new one.

What does “up to 30 days of scent” mean?

It means that under normal driving conditions, you can expect your car to stay softly scented for roughly a month. Very hot weather, always open windows, or heavy use of AC can make the scent fade a bit faster.

How do I refresh or re-scent my block?
  1. Remove the block from the clip.
  2. Add a few drops of oil from the scent vial directly onto the block.
  3. Let it absorb for a few minutes, then clip it back in.

    Use sparingly—a little goes a long way.
What’s the difference between Discovery Set and Top-Ups?
  • Discovery Set / Starter kit – Includes your Scentie block, visor or vent clip, scent vial, and packaging to get you started.
  • Top-Ups – Replacement blocks (and vial) only. You reuse the clip you already have.
Can I mix and match scents in one order?

Yes. For multi-pack options, you can choose different scents within the same order so your car doesn’t smell the same every month if you don’t want it to.

Can I use Scentie outside the car (home, office, wardrobe)?

Yes, many people tuck a block on a shelf or inside a small space. Just remember it’s formulated primarily for cars, so the strength may feel lighter in big open rooms.

Care & safety

Simple care tips to keep your Scentie looking beautiful and working properly, plus safety guidance for use around children, pets, and different parts of your car.
Will Scentie damage my dashboard, visor, or upholstery?

Used correctly, Scentie is designed to be surface-friendly. The block is mounted on the visor clip with strong magnets so it doesn’t fall off while driving on the Nigerian roads thereby causing damage to your dashboard. Avoid placing a wet, freshly re-oiled block directly on fabric, leather, or plastic.

Where is the best place to install Scentie?

We recommend:

  • Wood or stone blocks on your visor using the visor clip.
  • Metal blocks on your air vent using the vent clip.

    Keep it away from direct contact with glass or screens and make sure it doesn’t obstruct your view while driving.
What should I do if the oil spills?

Wipe it up immediately with a soft cloth or tissue. If it touches plastic, leather, or fabric, clean gently with a mild, suitable cleaner. Avoid leaving spilled oil on surfaces. It’s concentrated fragrance, so it’s always better to clean it quickly.

Is Scentie safe around children and pets?

Yes, its safe to use around Children and Pets. However, Scentie is intended for use in cars, not as a toy or something to be handled. Keep blocks and vials out of reach of children and pets, and avoid contact with eyes or mouth.

How should I store extra scent blocks or vials?

Keep them in their original packaging or an airtight bag, away from direct sunlight and heat. Store upright and away from any fabrics or delicate surfaces.

Can I drive with my windows down and AC on?

Yes. Scentie will still work. You may just notice the scent is softer when there’s a lot of airflow. We recommend that you use the AC as this will amplify the scent in the car.

What is a Scentie subscription?

A Scentie subscription is a flexible refill plan that keeps your car scented without you having to remember to reorder. You’ll receive fresh scented blocks (and vials where applicable) on a regular schedule so your car stays beautifully scented all month long.

Do I need a subscription to use Scentie?

No. You can always purchase Scentie as a one-time order. The subscription is simply for customers who prefer automatic refills and never want to run out of their favourite scent.

How often will I receive my subscription refills?

By default, refills are timed around our scent life up to 30 days per block so your next order arrives roughly when you’re ready for a refresh. You’ll be able to adjust your schedule (for example, to receive refills less or more often) if your driving habits are different.

Can I choose which scents I get in my subscription?

Yes. You can select your preferred core scents for your subscription, or mix them up each cycle if you like variety. When available, you’ll also be able to add or swap in limited-edition or “Scent of the Month” fragrances.

Can I pause, skip, or cancel my subscription?

Absolutely. You can pause, skip a delivery, or cancel your subscription any time before your next billing date. We don’t lock you into long-term contracts. You stay only as long as it’s useful to you.
