At New Zealand Candle Supplies, our car diffuser bottles are a fantastic way to freshen up the air in your vehicle while also promoting relaxation and focus.

With the use of essential oils, car diffusers can provide a myriad of benefits beyond just a pleasant smell. Now, with our car diffuser bottle and range of oils and bases, we’ve made it even easier to bring your own bespoke scent into your car.

To start, you will need a few items to make your diffuser. These include:

  • First, fill the bottle about two-thirds of the way with our premium base. Next, add about 5-10 drops of your chosen essential oil. You can use a single oil or create a blend of multiple oils for a more complex aroma. You can also add more or less drops depending on how strong you want the fragrance to be.

    However we always suggest starting lower, and working your way up.

    To use your car diffuser, simply hang it from your rearview mirror or place it in a cup holder or other secure location in your vehicle. As the essential oils are diffused into the air, you will notice the scent and benefits.

    Now let's explore some of the benefits of essential oils in a car diffuser.

    1. Promotes relaxation: Essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, and ylang-ylang are well-known for their relaxing properties. By diffusing these oils in your car, you can create a calming environment that helps to reduce stress and anxiety while driving.

    2. Increases focus: Oils such as peppermint, lemon, and rosemary can help to improve mental clarity and focus. Diffusing these oils in your car can help to keep you alert and focused while on the road.

    3. Reduces odours: Essential oils are a natural way to combat unpleasant smells. Oils such as tea tree, eucalyptus, and lemon can help to neutralise odours in your car, leaving it smelling fresh and clean.

    4. Boosts mood: Many essential oils, including bergamot, grapefruit, and orange, are known for their mood-boosting properties. Diffusing these oils in your car can help to uplift your mood and create a more positive driving experience.

    5. Supports respiratory health: Oils such as eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree can help to support respiratory health by opening up airways and reducing congestion. Diffusing these oils in your car can be especially helpful during allergy or cold and flu seasons.

    At New Zealand Candle Supplies we’ve made making your own car diffuser with essential oils a simple and cost-effective way to promote a healthy and enjoyable driving experience.

    By experimenting with different oils and blends, you can find the perfect scent and benefits to suit your needs.

    So why not give it a try and see how essential oils can enhance your daily commute?
