Little Trees Air Fresheners

Little Trees by Car-Freshner are iconic air fresheners for cars known for their distinctive tree-shaped designs that have adorned rearview mirrors and other hanging spots for decades. Founded in 1952 by chemist Julius Sämann, the brand revolutionized the industry with its innovative approach to providing long-lasting, pleasant scents in compact and convenient forms. Sämann drew inspiration from a milk truck driver who complained about the smell of spilled milk in his truck.

Sämann's solution was the first air freshener, crafted with high-quality fragrances and specialized blotter material. This became the first Little Tree air freshener. Drawing inspiration from his studies of aromatic botanical oils in the Canadian pine forests, Sämann designed the iconic evergreen tree shape. The iconic evergreen shape of Little Trees represents the long-lasting, fresh scent inspired by the clean air of forested landscapes. Ever since then, these air fresheners have been selling like hotcakes. Grab yours today and watch your car wash’s vending revenue take off!

How to use Little Trees:

Follow the directions included in the packaging to maximize the scent duration and strength of Little Trees air fresheners. The instructions guide users to partially lift the outer packaging when opening a new Little Tree, exposing only a small portion of the air freshener. This helps maintain the fragrance longer and allows for controlled scent release. This controlled exposure slows down the release of the fragrance, allowing the scent to last longer. Gradually increase the exposure over time to maintain a consistent aroma strength.

For optimal fragrance distribution, suspend them in an area with good airflow, such as the rearview mirror or attached to a vent, thereby enhancing the scent's diffusion without compromising any surfaces inside your car.

Little Trees Safety:

To maintain freshness and your vehicle’s interior, hang Little Trees air fresheners and keep them off surfaces. Direct contact with fragrance oils can lead to stains or material damage, especially on delicate materials like leather or premium cloth upholstery. It's crucial to avoid placing the air fresheners on dashboards, seats, or in any enclosed compartment where the concentrated aroma might become overpowering. Furthermore, hanging them securely ensures that they do not obstruct your view while driving, maintaining safety on the road.
