If you're wondering how these products hold up against cannabis funk in cars, apartments, bathrooms, and busy households—you’re in the right place.
What Real Users Are Saying
“I keep a mini spray in the glovebox and hit the vents after every session. It clears the car in under 30 seconds—and I’m not paranoid pulling up to the school.”
— Amanda C., Sacramento, CA
“I live with two other girls and we're all friendly with weed. But we don’t want the apartment smelling like it 24/7. Lavender-basil candle while we’re all getting ready? It’s the new house rule.”
— Brenda M., Chicago, IL
“My boyfriend doesn’t use but I do, and I like keeping the peace. I spray the laundry room when I light up—it vents fast, and he’s never once complained.”
— Jamie F., Asheville, NC
“I host poker night and don’t want my house reeking the next day. I light the sandalwood spray 10 minutes before the crew comes. Next morning? Smells like a spa, not a smokeout.”
— Darius K., Austin, TX
“I burned food and flower on the same day—rookie move. Modest’s Citrus Vetiver spray and open windows saved the kitchen and my rep.”

What Makes the Difference?
- Layering: Users swear by layering candles and sprays during and after sessions.
- Ventilation: Most combine scent routines with airflow—windows, fans, or vents.
- Timing: Strategic spraying (before + after) reduces paranoia and lingering scent.
- Material-Safe: Users report safe use on curtains, upholstery, and clothing with patch tests.
Pro Tips from the Community
- Keep a mini spray in your purse or car for on-the-go odor control.
- Use a soy-based candle during your session to set the vibe and neutralize in real time.
- Spray near airflow zones (vents, fans, windows) to move scent out faster.
DIY Tips for Odor Control
- Baking soda sachets: Put baking soda in breathable pouches and stash in bags, drawers, or closets to absorb funk naturally.
- Citrus simmer: Simmer orange peels, cloves, and rosemary on the stovetop to refresh the kitchen post-sesh.
- Vinegar water spray: Mix 1:1 white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Safe on most surfaces—patch test first.

FAQ
Is it safe around kids and pets?
Yes. All Modest & Co. sprays are VOC-safe, phthalate-free, and vegan. Always spray away from faces and pet beds.
How long does the scent last?
Sprays last 1–2 hours in well-ventilated areas. Candles offer 45–50 hours of total burn time.
Can I use these on fabrics?
Yes, but patch-test first. They're designed for air, but users report good results on curtains, throw pillows, and even car seats.
What to Avoid
- Don’t rely on masking scents alone—combine with ventilation.
- Avoid synthetic fresheners that can clash or create chemical funk.
- Don’t over-saturate fabrics—less is more for subtle scent control.
