महागड्या किमतींमुळे लोक ब्रँडेड कार फ्रेशनर वापरत नाहीत. याच कारणामुळे काहीजण अनब्रँडेड कार फ्रेशनर वापरतात जे गुणवत्ता आणि अनुभवाच्या अपेक्षित मानकांची पूर्तता करत नाहीत. तर काही कारमध्ये हॅंगिंग बाथरूम फ्रेशनरचा गैरवापर करतात. गोदरेज एरने स्वस्त पण उत्तम दर्जाच्या कार सुगंध पर्यायाची गरज ओळखली.

गोदरेज एअर ओ, 10 वर्षांपासून कार सुगंध श्रेणीतील पहिला उत्पादक. एक नाविन्यपूर्ण जेल मेम्ब्रेन तंत्रज्ञानाचा अभिमान बाळगते जे सुगंधाचा एक रेषीय आणि सतत प्रसार सुनिश्चित करते. हे अत्याधुनिक तंत्रज्ञान, हँगिंग स्वरूपासह, एक सुसंगत आणि आनंददायी सुगंध प्रदान करते जे 30 दिवसांपर्यंत टिकते. बिल्ट-इन एंड ऑफ लाईफ इंडिकेटर तुम्हाला फ्रॅग्रन्स कधी संपणार हे सांगते. गोदरेज एअर ओ तीन प्रकारांमध्ये येते - मस्क आफ्टर स्मोक, रोझ ब्लॉसम आणि कूल एक्वा - प्रत्येक विशिष्ट प्राधान्ये आणि मूड्स पुरवतो, ज्यामुळे ड्रायव्हिंग आनंददायी होते. कारच्या आतील भाग काही वेगळाच भासू लागतो. 

या उत्पादनाच्या लाँचबद्दल बोलताना, शिवम सिंगल, कॅटेगरी लीड – एअरकेअर अँड हायजीन, गोदरेज कन्झ्युमर प्रॉडक्ट्स लिमिटेड (GCPL), म्हणाले, "Godrej aer O ग्राहकांच्या अनुभवांची पुनर्परिभाषित करण्याच्या आमच्या प्रवासात एक महत्त्वपूर्ण मैलाचा दगड आहे. जसजसे कार मालकीचे लँडस्केप विकसित होत आहे, आम्ही स्वस्त परंतु अपवादात्मक कार सुगंध समाधानाची गरज ओळखतो. गोदरेज एअर ओ सह, आम्ही केवळ प्रवासाचा अनुभवच उंचावत नाही तर कारच्या सुगंध विभागामध्ये परवडण्याचे एक नवीन मानक देखील स्थापित करत आहोत. गोदरेज एअर ओ हा असाच एक नवोपक्रम आहे. ग्राहकांचा कार चालविण्याचा अनुभव सुधारते." 

नावीन्य आणि श्रेणी यावर भाष्य करताना, गोदरेज कन्झ्युमर प्रॉडक्ट्स लिमिटेड (GCPL), श्रेणी दिशा आणि विकास - एअर केअरचे ग्लोबल हेड कर्ण बावारी म्हणाले, “जागतिक स्तरावर, कार एअर फ्रेशनर्ससाठी सर्वाधिक व्हॉल्यूम ड्रायव्हर हे हँगिंग स्वरूप आहे – एक ट्रेंड जो भारतातही रुजतो आहे. तथापि, हे लक्षात घेण्याजोगे आहे की या जागेवर मोठ्या प्रमाणावर अनब्रँडेड पर्यायांचे वर्चस्व आहे जे एकतर योग्य स्तराचा सुगंध देत नाहीत किंवा जाहिरात केल्याप्रमाणे टिकत नाहीत. गोदरेज एअर ओ सह, आम्ही उत्पादन वितरण आणि परवडणारी क्षमता जोडतो, ग्राहकांना मूल्य-आधारित समाधान प्रदान करतो जे सौंदर्यदृष्ट्या देखील आकर्षक आहे. गोदरेज एअर ओच्या बाजारपेठेत प्रवेशासह, गोदरेज एअरने भारतातील कार सुगंधांची गतिशीलता पुन्हा परिभाषित केली आहे. नावीन्यपूर्ण आणि ग्राहकांच्या समाधानासाठी ब्रँडचे अतूट समर्पण या अभूतपूर्व उत्पादनातून स्पष्ट होते. गोदरेज एअर ओ हा केवळ कारचा सुगंध नसून उत्कृष्ट कार सुगंधाच्या जगाचे प्रवेशद्वार आहे, जिथे रोजचा प्रवास हा एक आनंदमय प्रवास असतो.
