Freshness That Started It All

Car-Freshner Corporation is the company behind the iconic LITTLE TREES brand air fresheners. Headquartered in Watertown, New York, USA, we have been bringing high-quality fragrances to vehicles and spaces around the world for decades.

Our Story

It all began in 1952, when a milk truck driver in northern New York complained to Julius Sämann about the smell of spilled milk. Inspired to solve this problem, Julius:

  • Combined exceptional fragrances with specialised blotter material
  • Invented the first-ever car air freshener
  • Shaped it like an abstract evergreen tree, honouring his years extracting aromatic oils from Canada’s pine forests

The Result

A simple, effective, and high-quality solution that quickly became a favourite across the United States and, eventually, the world. Today, LITTLE TREES air fresheners are recognised as a global symbol of freshness, appearing in countless movies and television shows.
