Fresh Box vs. Treefrog – What’s the Difference?

Is Fresh Box the Same as Treefrog? Here’s the Real Answer.

We hear this question a lot:
“Is Fresh Box the same thing as Treefrog?”

Short answer? Yes — and no.

Fresh Box is a product line made by Treefrog, but over time, it’s come to represent something more specific in the JDM car scent world. If you’re new to it or trying to figure out which one to go with, here’s how to tell them apart.


Treefrog = The Brand. Fresh Box = The Formula.

Treefrog is the parent brand, with multiple air freshener styles — sprays, vent clips, cardboard, and under-seat options. Fresh Box is one of their most iconic formats: a gel-based, under-seat air freshener that’s long-lasting, subtle, and trusted by car enthusiasts for years.


What Makes Fresh Box Different?

🔹 Exclusive Scents

Some Fresh Box options aren’t available in any other Treefrog products — scents like Black Squash, Marine Squash, and Sakura Cherry Blossom are uniquely formulated for this line.

🔹 Longer-Lasting Gel

Fresh Box is known for lasting up to 60 days under normal conditions. The gel formula evaporates slowly and works well when placed under the seat — no clips, no leaks, no distractions.

🔹 Design That Matches the Build

It’s not just the scent — it’s the presentation. Fresh Box fits visually into JDM and Euro interiors. It’s subtle, clean, and doesn’t scream “cheap air freshener.” A lot of customers place it like it’s part of the car — and that’s by design.


So, Which Should You Choose?

If you’re looking for the most refined, long-lasting, and build-ready air freshener in the Treefrog lineup, Fresh Box is the clear choice.

And as the official U.S. distributor, we carry all 16 Fresh Box scents — including rare ones you won’t find on Amazon or at local retailers.
