I'm going to check with the dealership on the free refills. I'm looking for the Freeside mood refill.

[i used urban naturals from amazon, mine has been going for like half a year. I have mine set on low.
works fine, smells better.


QUOTE=lika1;7562366]For those of you that have refilled your own, how long does it last? I refilled mine and it seems to go through a bottle very quickly....almost too quick. I have my air freshener set at 2, which lasts quite a while with the Mercedes fragrances. I wonder what the original fragrances are made of, maybe alcohol based scents are not ideal?[/QUOTE]

Just got off the phone with the dealership and there are no free refills. The cost at the dealership is 100.00.

Anotehr option, cheaper and fairly easy, is to refill it yourself with the fragrance of your choice. I don't remember where I read about what would work, but I remember that it has to be non staining and won't leave a residue. I bought my scent from Amazon and it works brilliantly! It doesn't leave an aftersmell anywhere in the car, just the nice whiff when it's diffused through the cabin.

Opening the bottle is the most difficult part. I used my vise in the garage along with a rubber oil filter removal tool that i had laying around. I was afraid of breaking the glass. But once opened it was a snap. Total cost $15.

here's a link to what I bought:

Personally I like the MB scents, and I don't think $100 a year to have them is that big a deal

Agreed, I love the MB scents too! I just like having variety. The scent I chose smells almost exactly like the MB scent. But i have a second bottle that smells completely different. Got the empty bottle off the auction site so it's a cheap way to have a couple to choose from.

Cool, that's even better...do you ever have any concerns with evaporation? I didn't want to use any more than 2 because I was afraid the liguid would dry up when not in use. Even though they are alcohol free, there must be some amount that dries up when sitting around.

If that's a concern, you could store them in a Ziploc or put some tape on the top.

Do service departments have samples to smell onsite?

Never had any issues, I keep them in the boxes they came in. You could put some scotch tape over the tops

Same oil at a fraction of the MB price

Check out this site on Amazon:

Urban Naturals Warm Vanilla Amber Refill | Creamy. Warm. Sultry. Notes of Sandalwood, Amber & Smoked Vanilla | 4 oz.

Amazon Amazon
I have purchased this oil several times, works perfectly in my 2018 560S. $14.99 a bottle and dozens of fragrances to choose from. Super easy to remove the cap on the fragrance jar that came with your car. You may need a large Channel Lock to unscrew the top of the jar the first time. After opening, the jar once it can easily be removed without tools.

No noticeable difference. Nice to have so many fragrance options. The only difference between Urban Naturals and Mercedes OEM fragrance is the price.
