Dunkin’ has entered the air-freshener aisle. There is now a way for a room to suggest somebody brought donuts without anybody actually bringing donuts.
That feels like a small betrayal. It is also a real Febreze collaboration, with three Dunkin’-inspired scents arriving at Walmart this September.
Dunkin’s announcement lists Strawberry Frosted Donut, Cinnamon Roll and Vanilla Latte, with suggested prices starting at $3.97. These are Walmart exclusives, not something to add to a drive-thru order.
Choose the scent and the format
The lineup is not identical across products:
- Strawberry Frosted Donut: AIR, PLUG, BATHROOM and CAR.
- Cinnamon Roll: AIR, PLUG and BATHROOM.
- Vanilla Latte: AIR, PLUG and CAR.
That means the cinnamon-roll car freshener you might reasonably go looking for is not in the announced collection. Check the actual format before buying.
The brand describes bakery and coffee-inspired fragrances, not products containing real coffee or food. They are air-care products, not edible treats, however convincing the names sound.
Local stock and shelf prices still need checking at Walmart. And if your seasonal cleaning aisle already includes pumpkin-spice Fabuloso, the house is getting dangerously close to having a menu.
Someone should still bring actual donuts.
