In a world where the small details count, keeping your car smelling fresh isn’t just a practical necessity, it’s part of the overall driving experience. That’s why we were keen to test the new Candy Kittens car air freshener range, a playful, sweet-smelling offering launched exclusively through Halfords.
A Gourmet Twist on Car Fresheners
This isn’t your average pine tree hanging from the mirror. The Candy Kittens brand, well-known for its gourmet plant-powered sweets and bold personality, has stepped into the automotive accessory space with a fresh take, literally. Available in four punchy scents (Sour Watermelon, Wild Strawberry, Eton Mess, and Very Cherry), and three versatile formats (hanging, vent clip, and a spill-proof canister), there’s something here for every nose and every dashboard.
We Tested The Full Range
We tested the full range across a trio of very different vehicles, a Ford Puma, a workhorse Volkswagen Transporter van, and a Bentley Continental, to see how these fresheners held up in various environments. The verdict? Pretty solid. If you’re a fan of sweet aromas, these pack a fragrant punch that lasts. Even the spill-proof can design, which tucks neatly into a cupholder, proved to be a handy, mess-free solution.
Where Design Meets Fragrance
Design-wise, the air fresheners channel Candy Kittens’ chic and colourful vibe. Think playful yet premium, which is a nice change from the often generic-looking options out there. They’re also eco-conscious, with recyclable formats and FSC-certified packaging, points for sustainability.
Deeply Personal Choices
Ultimately, air fresheners are deeply personal, what smells heavenly to one might be overpowering to another. But what Candy Kittens gets right is variety. With enough scent and format options to suit most preferences, and prices starting from just £3.49, they make a strong case for upgrading your car’s fragrance game without breaking the bank.
At Halfords Stores Nationwide
Now available online and rolling out to Halfords stores nationwide, these are more than just sweet-smelling novelties, they’re a fun, functional addition to any car interior. If you’re after a pop of personality and a scent that turns heads, this range is worth checking out.
