First introduced in test markets in March 1996, the fabric refresher product has been sold in the United States since June 1998, and the line has since branched out to include air fresheners (Air Effects), plug-in oil (Noticeables), scented disks (Scentstories), odor-eliminating candles, and automotive air fresheners.
The name Febreze is a portmanteau of the words "fabric" and "breeze". The name is a popular example of the Mandela effect, with many people claiming to remember the name being previously spelled "Febreeze", despite there being no indication or evidence of the product name having actually been changed.
In many non-English speaking countries, the products are sold as Ambi Pur.
