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.

BAD COMPANY TO WORK WITH-UNETHICAL

BAD COMPANY TO WORK WITH-UNETHICAL. The product does not last 30 days, the worst part is that they stole my money by subscribing me in some program, refusing to cancel my order and refusing my return.

Awful customer service

The product is good, nice smell and does last but the website and the subscription that it signs you up to is going to lose you some customers. Your customers service staff will lose you the rest. Very unhelpful, not one mention of refunding anyone for money taken out after a subscription has been cancelled. I have looked at fb reviews and everyone is saying the same thing. Sort it out drift!!!!!

The scent is nice

The scent is strong and nice. Ordered 2 scents September 11th, they were shipped out on the 19th, and I still don't have them now on the 28th. Idk why it takes nearly a month to ship 2 small car fresheners.

Fragrance didn't last and admin was not good

The scent is really nice at first, but it is done within 2 weeks. They signed me up for a subscription without my knowledge, and I canceled it and got confirmation of the cancelation. However, they are STILL sending me notifications that my subscription payment didn't go through (I had switched credit cards in the meantime). Everytime I contact them about it, all they did was confirm that my subscription had been canceled. I finally had to block the emails as I was getting them every second day. I won't be ordering again.

The absolute WORST

Back in August, I mistakenly placed an order that I thought was one time but was a subscription. I immediately reached out to Drift's "customer service" who told me they had canceled the subscription and I would not receive any orders. Great! Or, so I thought. A month later I receive notice from my credit card company that I've been charged for my monthly subscription. I reached back out to customer service who now tells me "my" order has been placed and there's no way they can cancel the current shipment but that they will cancel future shipments (hmmmm...). I've gone back-and-forth with them repeatedly, pointing out this was not my order, as I was told back in August by their customer service that this subscription had been canceled. They have refused to cancel it, they have refused to give me a refund, and they're only solutions for me to wait for this product to be delivered then go through the process of returning it to them at which point they will refund the money. How do companies like this stay in business?!? Avoid them at all costs.

STAY AWAY

STAY AWAY, just like the other reviews they sneakily sign you up for a subscription. It's not clear on your first purchase, and they automatically keep debiting your card.

You can’t buy a one off - subscription auto enrolment

Made a what I thought was a one off purchase to see what it was like and didn’t realise it was an auto enrolment into a subscription until it was too late - false advertising and the scent isn’t that good compared to much less expensive ones - finally managed to navigate to cancel subscription and shall not be buying again!!!

This feels like an absolute SCAM.

This feels like an absolute SCAM.

I made what was presented to me as a one-time purchase. There was ZERO indication at checkout that I was signing up for a subscription or agreeing to recurring charges. I even went back through the checkout process to confirm this.

Yet Drift stored my credit card and continued charging me, then tried to frame it as user error. It is NOT user error when the customer is never clearly told they are subscribing.

Other reviews describe the same experience. This is an incredibly shady way to do business. Avoid.

Costumer service sucks too.

Loved the product, but I can’t get my orders

My original order from Drift arrived with no problems, and I really liked the product. I liked it enough that I signed up for automatic renewal and fully intended to continue buying from them.

Unfortunately, my renewal order was charged and supposedly sent on August 25, but it never arrived. Drift told me to wait until September 11 and contact them if I still hadn’t received it. I did, and they sent a replacement on September 15. I still have not received either shipment.

The most frustrating part is that there is no tracking available, and getting in touch with an actual person is extremely difficult. Their automated customer-service system just keeps offering another replacement, even when I specifically request a refund.

I genuinely like the product and would have continued being a customer, which makes this even more disappointing. After two shipments that never arrived and no easy way to speak with someone or get a refund, I don’t feel comfortable continuing my subscription. I’m sharing my experience so other customers are aware of the shipping and customer-service issues I’ve encountered.

Do not recommend

The scent is a nice scent, but does not last for a full 30 days. You’re lucky if you get two weeks out of this product… for the price I do expect it to last 30 days. Would not recommend.

False subscription terms

Received my first order and my wife did not like the fragrance, had a look at my subscription and it said they would give me an option to change scents 3 days prior to next order... that did not happen and I have been sent the same one which I will not use, asked to cancel and told no. Very poor customer experience.

On the Sept 2025 I cancelled mu subscription as I didn’t think that the product was any good
Recently I received an email that my order was on its way
I thought that was strange as I hadn’t ordered anything so I just ignored it
A few days later I noticed that a sum had been taken from my account
I asked if I haven’t got a subscription why have you taken money from my bank
The reply was under our terms and conditions we don’t give refunds
I have reported the fraud to my bank

Worst customer service ever.

Worst customer service ever.

I placed an order directly on their website (drift.co), and after 7 days without shipping, I reached out to customer support. All they said in reply was a one-liner: "Sorry, shipping has been delayed." That was literally it. I canceled my order right away. I have no idea how good the product quality actually is since I never got to use it, but seeing how terrible their customer service is, there's nothing to expect from this seller.
