Bought 2 of these and after 8 days they’re both done. For the price I’d expect at least the full 30 days so to say I’m disappointed is an understatement and I won’t be using again.

About Drift

Written by the company

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.

⭐ Worst Experience.

⭐ Worst Experience – Be Careful With the Subscription. Worst customer service. They only care about money not customer. Zero stars...

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience with Drift.

My first order took more than 10 days to arrive, even though their website indicated delivery within about 10 days. The fragrances also did not meet my expectations, and I could not find a clear return, refund, or exchange policy on their website.

What frustrated me most was the subscription. I did not realize my purchase included a recurring subscription until I was charged again the following month. Drift's website indicated that I would receive an email notification at least three days before a new order, but I did not receive that advance notice.

Once I noticed the new charge, I contacted them promptly and asked them to cancel the order. The order had NOT shipped, yet they refused to cancel it because they said it had already been "processed."

This is extremely poor customer service. If an order hasn't even shipped and a customer contacts you promptly to cancel—especially after not receiving the stated advance subscription notification—I would expect a customer-focused company to work toward a reasonable solution.

Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that anyone considering Drift carefully review the subscription terms before purchasing and monitor any recurring charges closely.

I gave the company an opportunity to resolve the issue, but so far I have been very disappointed with how my concerns have been handled. Customer satisfaction should matter just as much as making a sale.

Would not trust


Extremely disappointing customer service. I was sent an order I never authorized and had previously confirmed with DRIFT support that I did not have an active subscription. When I contacted them, they canceled the subscription but refused to stop the current order, even though it had not yet shipped.

I asked them to resolve the issue or escalate it. They never responded, and a day or two later they shipped the order anyway. No refund or credit options, or even the ability to tailer the order to scents I would even want!

This was the second time I’ve had this issue with DRIFT. Very frustrating experience and not a company I’m comfortable trusting with recurring orders or customer information.

Drift is basically a classy scam with nice ads, but I guess I deserved it lol. At least it was a good lesson about impulse buying.

I was just casually scrolling through Facebook, saw their ad, and clicked on it. I don’t even remember if it was the original ad, their website, or one of their other “amazing offers,” but somehow I ended up placing a $35 order.

Then I checked the confirmation email and realized there was no estimated delivery date. So I went to their website to check the status. And guess what? No email address, no phone number, nothing. The only option is a chatbot that tells you someone will get back to you within 24 hours.

So I started digging around the website trying to figure things out myself, and that’s when I realized they had also signed me up for some kind of monthly auto-renewal for around $15. I never replied to their auto-renewal text, never said yes, and don’t remember giving them any other consent to subscribe me.

So where am I now? Frustrated over an overpriced car scent that I could probably buy at Walmart or Amazon, with no shipping date after 5 days, no real customer service, and still no explanation for why the hell they signed me up for a monthly subscription without my consent. 😄

Automatic reoccurring subscription

I'm giving only one star because I haven't even received the product yet and my review is on the website and company. I absolutely hate when a merchant automatically puts you in a reoccurring subscription. Yes I should have read more but I didn't see it until I had just hit submit for my order. Then I don't know if it was because I was on my phone but the steps to cancel in the FAQ didn't give me the option to cancel. I had to do the chat thing and provide my email. Call me poor/cheap but $15 for my car to smell good for maybe 30 days it's crazy. Only reason I ordered was the discount and I'm giving them as a gift.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience — I would not recommend Drift.

I ordered thinking I was simply purchasing the product, but later found out I had been enrolled in a “subscription.” When the next order came around, I was charged nearly twice what I paid the first time.

The scent itself only lasted about a week before becoming barely noticeable. Reaching customer service was just as frustrating—they’re slow to respond and offered little help or just don’t care about your concerns.

For the price, the product isn’t worth it, and the way the subscription and recurring pricing are handled left a terrible impression.

Terrible experience with Drift

Terrible experience with Drift. I placed what I thought was a one-time order, then received another shipment and discovered I had apparently been signed up for recurring deliveries. On top of that, I don't even like the product—the scent fades very quickly, and for the high price they charge, it's simply not worth it. One of the worst purchasing decisions I've made for this type of product. I would not order from Drift again.

⭐ 1/5

⭐ 1/5

I made a one-time purchase from Drift and was very surprised to see another charge from them about a month later. I never knowingly signed up for a monthly subscription, and I don’t even have an account with them.

I find the way this was handled very frustrating and misleading. Customers should be clearly informed if a purchase is going to enroll them in recurring charges, and there should be no ambiguity about whether they are making a one-time purchase or starting a subscription.

I am now having to spend my own time contacting the company and dealing with an unexpected charge for something I did not intend to purchase.

Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that anyone ordering from Drift carefully check the checkout page, confirmation emails, and credit card statements for recurring charges.

Product had strong set of soap and laundry detergent. Not like described on website. Reach out to discussed an alternative sent and/or refund with no response. Additionally noted shipping delays with no updates when request requested. No plans to re-purchase.

I signed up for a monthly subscription

I signed up for a monthly subscription. The first order came quickly and there were no issues. When it came time for my second order it never arrived. When I contacted Drift co costumer service to ask where it was they said that the shipping address was incorrect (even though they had no issues the first shipment). When I asked for a refund they just repeatedly confirmed that they would send a replacement order without confirming the address and refused to give me the refund for the order I’m never going to get.

The product never came

The product never came and then customers service was lack luster . All they could say was it was shipped . I ordered on July 31 and as of August 30 it’s still has not arrived . As far as I’m concerned it was a Scam .

Waste of money

Car air fresheners look great. Unfortunately the scent doesn’t last very long, so disappointed given the price ! Chose one time order but ended up with a subscription !

Great experience with ThePerfumeSpot.com

I’ve purchased several fragrances from ThePerfumeSpot.com, and everything I ordered arrived correctly and as expected.

On the few occasions when I had an issue, their customer service was always helpful and the problem was resolved properly. That makes a big difference and gives me confidence to continue shopping with them.

So far, I’ve had a very positive experience with ThePerfumeSpot.com and would definitely recommend them.

Do not buy for this company

Do not buy for this company ! They automatically sign you up for a subscription and you can’t get out of it. They dont have a person or customer service team to talk to only ai, not a real location or phone number. I’ve been charged for 3 months I never wanted. This company has terrible business ethics and shouldn’t be allowed to operate. I’ve “canceled” twice now and am still being charged. It’s criminal !! I’ve reported it to card company and it still got charged again..
DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM!!!!
