We’ve made a small guide below which will take you through how to use both Yankee candle car scents, if candle car scents are good for you as well as how to make your own candle car scent.

Are Car Scents Good For You?
Unfortunately, although premium fragrance car scents smell good, they are made from synthetic fragrances so aren’t that good for you since they emit chemicals into the air over time due to the uninterrupted fragrance.
How To Make Your Own Car Scent
To make easy car air fresheners which smell like candles you can simple use a mason jar with some essential oils, baking soda and cut out holes for the lid or even a piece of foam on some twine soaked with essential oils.
Last Words
Overall, Yankee car air fresheners activate themselves automatically when you take time the out of the packet, for their jar version you do have to fill them with water and give them a shake.
