We may be halfway through the summer travel season, but the open road still calls—and customers still want their ride to smell fresh. Whether they’re heading out for a weekend getaway or just making the most of a “day-cation,” they’re looking for simple, effective ways to improve the driving experience.
That’s where the Drive Time® Power Fresh® 12V Ergonomic Scent Diffuser comes in. This plug-in car air freshener has been a favorite among road warriors and casual drivers alike—and it’s a smart item to have stocked and ready in your store.
Scent That Works as Hard as the Driver
We recently put the Power Fresh diffuser to the test on a spontaneous one-day adventure. With limited time and no desire for a long-haul road trip, we decided to explore the old mills scattered across the Ozarks—historic sites that are easy to overlook but always worth the detour.
Because of heavy rains and rough roads, we took our truck. It’s no showroom beauty—it's a "working man’s truck" through and through. After a quick cleaning and some elbow grease, I plugged in the Power Fresh diffuser, cranked the A/C, and let the scent do its thing.
Within minutes, the cab felt noticeably fresher. My pick for the day? High Range Cedar, with notes of sandalwood, mahogany, and—you guessed it—cedar. It complemented the rugged, nostalgic feel of the mills we were exploring and brought a sense of calm to the drive.
Plug-In Simplicity, Powerful Payoff
Customers love Power Fresh because it delivers big benefits in a small package:
-
No mess – no gels, no liquids, no spills
-
No batteries – plugs right into a 12V outlet
-
Refillable – with long-lasting scent packs (sold in 4-packs)
-
Compact – fits neatly in any car or truck
-
Effective – lasts for weeks, even in heavy-use vehicles
This makes it an ideal choice for busy customers and an easy upsell for retailers. Plus, with its ergonomic design and practical appeal, it speaks to drivers of all types—from soccer parents to weekend wanderers.
A Scent for Every Kind of Trip
The Power Fresh diffuser works with a variety of scent refills, so your customers can switch things up as their mood—or mileage—demands:
-
Amber Vanilla – Warm and cozy with notes of vanilla, toasted coconut, and maple
-
Cinnamon Blast – Spicy and bold with cinnamon, cool mint, and black pepper
-
Evergreen Forest – Crisp and woodsy with evergreen, cypress, and pine

The refillable format means customers can refresh their scent without replacing the whole unit—creating repeat sales with minimal shelf space.
A Day Worth Savoring—and Scenting
Our tour took us from Hodgson Mill, a striking red structure just outside Tecumseh, to Dawt Mill, one of our favorite old camping and floating spots along the North Fork River. We ended the day at The Ozark Mill Restaurant on the Finley River, part of the beautifully restored Finley Farms property. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s a true farm-to-table experience in a historic setting.
I ordered the Bison Meatloaf (because I always do when it’s on the menu), and David went for the Crawfish Mac & Cheese. After a full day of scenic roads, fresh air, and fragrant rides, we both left feeling relaxed—and a little spoiled.
