It’s one of my favorite things: The AromaCar Commuter Kit by Vim Essentials. The perfect solution for a better commute. I spend a lot of time in my car driving to networking events or meeting with clients so plugging the AromaCar Commuter Kit into my car outlet makes for a very pleasant and relaxing car ride!
The Vim Essentials AromaCar Commuter Kit comes with two bottles of Genuine & Authentic essential oils specially mixed for a pleasant commute:
The A.M. bottle is a zippy and energizing blend of peppermint, lemon and lavender. This combination of scents will help you to “unfrazzle the nerves and rev up” for the day.
The P.M. bottle is a blend of ginger, bergamot, and lavender to calm your nerves, but give you a boost of energy for the evening. We all know that nobody goes home after a busy day in the office to do nothing…you still have to make dinner and prepare for the next day!
Although the AromaCar Commuter Kit has only been available to the public for about a week, I’ve been testing the product for several months. I turn it on every single time I get in my car and can’t get enough of Vim Essential’s new product!

At $37, the kit is very affordable and an excellent value. For all that I have used the kit (nearly every day), I’m not looking to refill or replace the essential oils anytime soon as they are very concentrated and seem to last forever. My kit came with 6 filters and I just started on my second filter. As an added bonus, the Aromatherapy diffuser kit comes in a handy, embossed sunglass case.
I’m adding this product to my gift list for the holidays. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who spends any amount of time in the car! I can highly recommend this product.
Available for purchase at the Vim Essentials website.
