Well,howdy! Welcome to Scentopia. We exist to help you live a brighter, more delicious life with thoughtfully crafted car essential oil diffusers. But how did all this start? Let me tell you a story.
I’m a mum of two boys, I own way too many lipglosses, and I’m an Industrial Designer with a degree from RMIT. And I spend a lot of time in my car—rushing my boys around from school to soccer practice, running around to meetings and appointments, all in Melbourne traffic (IYKYK).
With so many hours spent driving, I’ve tried to make my car my happy place. I have several curated playlists. My podcast listen hours are through the roof (my favourites are spooky, true-crime podcasts). I’ve got those super comfy seat covers, and I keep my car as clean as I can.
And I used to be a die-hard car air freshener lady. But, there was one major problem.
The synthetic fragrances packed into most air fresheners are filled to the brim with harsh chemicals. As someone who is sensitive to fragrance, these chemicals were giving me serious headaches.
We’re often unaware of the numerous chemicals in our nice-smelling air fresheners because they are all packaged into one word in the ingredients list: fragrance.
So, I decided to create my own solution.
