Too strong, too soon
A blast of scent in a closed car can bring on a headache. The maker says its hanging paper fresheners have no alcohol and no aggressive perfumes.

Luxury car fragrances in Cricklade.
Car scent that smells like perfume and looks the part. 89 Aromatic, in the shop at Cricklade Hardware, 102 High Street.
In short
Fine fragrance, made for your car.
You spend hours in your car. It should feel like somewhere you want to be. Think of the moment you walk into a boutique hotel: the scent tells you it's somewhere special before anything else does.
89 Aromatic brings that feeling to the car. The brand started in Klaipėda, Lithuania, in 2016 with hand made products, and it still designs and makes everything there. "We touch your feelings" is the line on the display, and that's the idea.
The full display is in the shop at 102 High Street, so you can see the range before you choose. Not sure which one? Ask Paul, or send a WhatsApp and he'll tell you what's in.
- Air vent clips
- Hanging glass bottles with a wooden cap
- Round hanging discs
- 100ml perfumed sprays
Why it's different
The usual problems, and a better way.
Ask any driver what annoys them about air fresheners and you'll hear the same few things.
Gone in a week
Many cheap fresheners shout for a few days, then fade. Hanging discs are made to last up to 20 days, and vent clips and bottles up to 30.
Smells like a chemical
One flat note wears thin fast. These are built like perfume. Dore opens with caramel and citrus, and settles into white musk and amber.
Looks cheap in a nice car
A curled bit of card does nothing for your interior. Matte black, smoked glass and natural wood look at home on the mirror.
Buying blind
You can't tell what a scent is like from a packet. Here the pouches are scratch and smell, so you can try one in the shop first.
Covering up a smell
Scent on top of a stale car never works for long. Clean first, then add a fragrance, and it will smell the way it should.

Four ways to scent the car.
Pick the one that suits how you drive.
Air vent clip
A neat black disc on the vent. Your fan carries the scent through the car, and you'll hardly see it.
Lasts up to 30 days
Hanging bottle
Dark glass and a wooden cap on a black cord. The one to pick if you want it to look as good as it smells.
Lasts up to 30 days
Hanging disc
A slim round disc, sealed in its pouch until you're ready. The easy way to try a scent.
Lasts up to 20 days
Perfumed spray
A 100ml bottle in all three scents. A quick mist after a clean, or before a passenger gets in.
Use whenever you likeHow long a scent lasts depends on heat and airflow, so it may fade sooner in a hot car.

Getting the best from it
Four small things that make it last.
- Clean the car first. Empty the bin, vacuum the mats and let the air clear.
- Mind the heat. Heat uses a scent up faster, so a car parked in the sun will go through it quicker.
- Keep oil off the trim. Fragrance oil can mark dashboards, leather and plastics. Wipe any drip straight away.
- Keep the windows in mind. Scent builds in a closed car, so open up a little if it feels strong.
