I liked the scents and packaging but they just didn't last very long before the scents faded. I canceled my subscription a month ago but they keep trying to charge my account. Emailed for assistance... See more

What is Drift?
Written by the company
- Drift is a premium car air freshener subscription service rethinking the way car fragrance lives in modern spaces. Those little travel companions dangling from your rearview mirror? They’ve gone untouched by time. While automotive design has evolved into sleek, refined interiors, traditional car air fresheners have remained dated — both in design and ingredients.
- Fragrance is personal. It’s emotional. It should reflect who you are and create a joy-inducing experience, free from questionable chemicals. We believe the scents that fill your car deserve the same intention as the space itself.
- Drift creates long-lasting car fresheners using high-quality essential oil blends that are safe for children and pets. Our signature designs pair sustainably sourced alder wood and organic stone with clean, elevated fragrance to complement — not clutter — your interior.
- Beyond the road, Drift also offers home fragrance solutions including scent diffusers, candles, and room sprays, extending your signature scent from car to home.
- From car scent subscriptions to modern home fragrance, Drift is on a journey to create immersive atmospheres that harmonize with the open road — and with the spaces you live in every day.

Absolutely criminal enterprise
Absolutely criminal enterprise. I ordered a starter kit with 2 scents and nowhere in my order does it say this is a subscription, and now I was just billed again for a refresh of 2 scents I absolutely hate. Scents are highly synthetic. You also cannot return orders even if products are unopened and good luck cancelling your subscription, which takes 20 clicks and uses dark patterns to stop you from doing so. DO NOT BUY from them!
READ BETWEEN THE LINES
The company or whomever they chose to sell for them signed me up for a subscription I knew nothing about until I see my statement w a $19.95 charge. Livid. I didn't know anything about a subscription, I bought a product. Not a very good product. Only lasted about 2 weeks. WATCH OUT FOR THIS COMPANY
Shocking customer service from this…
Shocking customer service from this company. Tried the air freshners for a couple of months but then decided to cancel the subscription HOWEVER
even after 2 complaint emails they continue to take payment and send them. We've tried to cancel again via the website but there's no active subscription to edit!!! Tried to cancel it via PayPal but again had another delivery and payment taken today. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS BECAUSE YOU CANT CANCEL!!!
First Impressions Matter
My first experience with Drift has been nothing but disappointing.
I placed an order on August 2 after seeing what I believed was a legitimate promotion on social media ($6 each). I completed the checkout process in good faith, received confirmation, and expected my order to be fulfilled. Instead, several days later, I received an email stating that my order had been canceled because of a "technical error" that caused the price to display as $0.00.
While I understand that mistakes can happen, customers should not have to bear the consequences of a company's website errors after successfully placing an order. Rather than honoring the order or offering a comparable resolution, Drift simply canceled it and offered a lesser discount.
What made this experience even more frustrating is that Drift canceled my order but left my subscription active (I had to go in manually and cancel it). Canceling the order while keeping the subscription intact makes no sense and creates unnecessary concern that I could be charged in the future despite never receiving my initial order. Customers shouldn't have to double-check that a company has fully canceled everything after the company admits the mistake was on its end.
This entire experience has left me questioning Drift's checkout process, promotions, and customer service. First impressions matter, and my first impression was disappointment, frustration, and a lack of accountability. I expected much better from a company that markets itself so heavily online.
Buyer beware: if something goes wrong with your order, don't assume the subscription tied to it will be canceled as well. Check your account carefully.
Such great products and amazing customer service!
Such great products, customer service super fast and soooo goood totally recomend drift to everyone. Sunny Y was very kind and very fast at replying! Thank you drift so much!
Very unhappy customer
I have contacted customer service THREE times to formally request the cancellation a subscription I never intended to sign up for. Yet they continually charge my account. To make matters worse, I am being billed for product I have never received!!!! I have yet to receive a response from your Customer Service department Please cancel my account immediately and refund the last three charges to my credit card!!!!!!!!
BS Secret Subscription
Secret, automatic subscriptions - this company is a scam. Sent multiple emails after I received an order I never requested and was never told the company had automatically enrolled me in a monthly subscription. Stay away.
This is a scam
This is a scam. I placed an order, but it never arrived. Instead, I was charged twice for recurring subscription orders, and neither of those has arrived either. I contacted their customer service multiple times to request a refund, but I never received a response. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others to avoid this company.
Can’t cancel
I’ve tried to cancel my subscription and I was assured it was done after having tons of trouble doing it. Now I get an email saying my next order is on its way. For the second time I’ve given them my info and am hoping to be done with this company. So if you get a subscription, you better make sure you live the stuff because it’s next to impossible to cancel.

It smelled great for a couple weeks and then not much.
Great scent, doesn’t last
Great scent, but they don’t last long. Both of my last two scent stones were almost dry and lacked little, if any scent. I don’t mind paying a premium price for quality stuff, but it appears drift has lost their way in the QC department.
Absolutely gorgeous car fragrance
Absolutely gorgeous car fragrance. Super stylish & I love the monthly subscription of a different scent.
REFUSED refund after leaking oil into car
SCAM COMPANY! SCAM REFUND POLICY!
Order: #DR112825086
Order date: 7/16/2026
Delievery fate: 7/21/2026
Refund requst date: 7/30/2026
This product dripped oil from the stone onto my floorboard. Drift refuses to issue a refund for the defective product per their Refund Policy while the product is clearly still within the 14-day refund window.
Drift scents damaging interior of car
After seeing the adds on social media I fell and purchased two scents and visor clips for my new car. On my second subscription I noticed ‘rippling’ on both visors on my car, clearly there had been some kind of chemical reaction to the material of the visors.
I contacted Drift and after a few days I was asked several patronising questions regarding we’re the scent blocks saturated in oil did I remove any surplus etc. After several months of emails and DM’s, Drift finally admitted liability for the damage photographic proof was sent. Quote from dealer for £315 sent and then nothing for months no response to DM’s.
It seemed the only way Drift will deal with you is by leaving a negative content post on various social media platforms. I had at five ‘customer service’ personnel contact me regarding this matter communication in this department is non existent. I’m still waiting for my refund, from late 2025, tbh I don’t think I ever will, very disappointed I will never purchase any Drift product again.
Their customer service is horrible.
Their customer service needs an upgrade. Missing scent on first order. Tried for 3 weeks to contact but no response.
the style and fragrance was great but customer service is horrible. Cancelling subscription.

They signed me up for an unauthorized SUBSCRIPTION, and when you go to their website, there is no way to contact them . . . no HELP email. No email at all. The site just takes you on a wild goose chase but never puts you in contact with anyone.
UNETHICAL COMPANY and their product does not even last the month.

Product is terrible/ terrible customer service
Product is terrible. Scent is very strong but only last a few days. Terrible customer service. Took money out my account without me knowing. Subscribed me to a monthly debit without my knowledge. Was a nightmare to cancel and wouldn’t return my money. Never received the product
I did not sign up to a subscription
I did not sign up to a subscription, if I did it really wasn't that clear. Product was way to over powering to start with and then faded really quickly, waste of time and effort wish I'd checked out the reviews
