The XO2 Fragrance Guide
XO2® Pty Ltd, David Blamire

XO2 has been supplying and manufacturing odour control solutions, air fresheners and professional cleaning products since 1968. We understand the importance of fragrance, and we know how important it is to you. You want to love what you use... right? And you want your customers and guests to comment on how nice your place smells too. And if you're buying a product for the first time, you want to know as much as you can about it to make the best purchase decision for your needs and wants. The fragrance is also subjective... which means we all like (and dislike) different things. Our customers tell us all of these things and so we have worked hard to formulate safe and premium fragrances. Here's our guide to help you make the best choice... and there's a frequently asked fragrance questions section right at the bottom for you too.

What fragrance will you choose? Here's the guide...

Zero (No fragrance)

This is fragrance-free! So it’s not only great for use in applications where people or animals are sensitive or allergic to fragrance, but also so that you know how you are going with finding and removing odours. Fragrances can sometimes get in the way of odour control. Click here to see XO2's top 'Zero Fragrance' cleaning and hand hygiene products.

And now, here are some fragrance questions you might want the answers to...


1. Why change your fragrances regularly?

When we overuse a fragrance, our sense of smell for that fragrance can become desensitised over time. Our noses can no longer pick up the strength or the different notes of the fragrance. That's why we recommend rotating your fragrances every time you order. Most people have 2 or 3 favourites that they will rotate between. 

2. What is the best fragrance for removing smells and bad odours?

Fragrances can freshen a space and make it smell wonderful. If you are also looking for a long-term solution for odour problems, fragrances are an important part, but only a part of the solution. For odours to be permanently eliminated the fragrance needs to be accompanied by the correct odour removal chemistry and make contact with the source of the odour for a suitable period of time.

3. What fragrance do you recommend for dog, cat and pet odours?

Choosing any fragrance in our Odour Kill, Pee Off and Oradicator products will work a treat. Choosing a fragrance-free (no fragrance) option is also very popular because it's easier to know how you are going with the odour-removal process.

4. Are your fragrance products safe to use around pets and animals?

Yes... Linga Longa, 5 in 1, Odour Kill, Pee Off and Oradicator are safe to use around dogs, cats, pets and animals. These products are not suitable for application directly onto any animal.

5. How to choose the right odour control product?

We have a very cool odour control selection guide being added here very soon. In the meantime, feel free to get in touch with our team for some advice.
