Last month, I got a mail request from a fan to try Azuna Air Freshener. As a stay-at-home mom of three (plus one fur baby), keeping our home smelling clean and feeling fresh is a daily battle. So, when I heard of Azuna Fresh all natural odor eliminator air freshener, I was super excited.
Could a little jar of gel really purify the air and knock out odors? The reviews were glowing. Like, suspiciously glowing. But I figured, why not try it?
What is Azuna?
Azuna markets itself as a natural air purifier that’s:
- Made from tea tree oil and other plant-based ingredients
- Non-toxic and safe for kids and pets
- Designed to eliminate odors and prevent mold and bacteria
- Comes in various forms – small gel jars, pouches, sprays, pods, laundry balls, e.t.c
- Supposed to last 60–90 days
Sounds magical, right? No no flames, no fake perfume clouds—just “fresh air.” But does it actually work?
Our Experience Using Azuna Air Freshener
I ordered a 4-pack of the small jars on Amazon as I didn’t want to deal with the shipping hassles of ordering from the official website. The packaging was cute and minimal. Each jar had a simple screw-top lid and a faint herbal smell subtle, not too overpowering.
Week 1:
I placed them in their spots and… waited. At first, I noticed a slight improvement, especially in the mudroom. It smelled a little less like wet socks and more like… a neutral hallway. Not bad.
Week 2:
By now, the scent had faded a bit. I had to get up close to the jar to even smell it. Meanwhile, the diaper genie in the nursery was back to doing its evil work.
Week 3 & Beyond:
At this point, the Azuna jars were just decor. I honestly didn’t notice any major odor difference anymore, and no one else in the family did either. My husband asked, “Did you put those things out yet?” and they’d been sitting in plain sight for three weeks. 😬
Alternatives I’d Recommend
After Azuna fizzled, I went back to some tried-and-true solutions:
- ZORBX Extra Strength M&M Remover & Cleaner Spray – Works like magic, but smells strongly. You can go for the natural lavender one; ZORBX Refresh & Relax Odor Remover Spray with Lavender & Lemongrass 8 Oz
Pros
- Subtle, non-perfume scent
- Easy to use—just pop the lid and place it somewhere
- Safe for pets and kids (huge plus!)
- Natural ingredients
Cons
- Effectiveness fades fast—maybe 7–10 days tops
- Doesn’t eliminate strong odors, just lightly masks them
Does Azuna Freshener Work?
If you’re looking for a light, natural option to maybe freshen up a small bathroom or closet, Azuna might work briefly. But for real-life odor control—especially in busy, messy households like mine—it just didn’t cut it. I wanted it to be my no-fuss, no-flame solution… but it barely made a dent in the stink.
Final Thoughts
Azuna Fresh was a nice idea… but in my experience, it was more hype than help. The natural approach is great in theory, but for a high-traffic, kid-filled, dog-loving household like ours? I need odor control that does more than whisper at the smell and hope it leaves quietly.
If you’re sensitive to perfumes and want something very subtle for a tiny space, you might like Azuna. But if you’re fighting the good fight against real-life stink like I am, this won’t be your miracle product.
