The present invention relates to freshening compositions, devices comprising same and methods of using same for freshening the atmosphere, the air or surfaces. Also provided are methods for manufacturing the freshening compositions and devices comprising same. Disclosed are non-glycol ether liquid freshening compositions comprising a fragrance release modulator. A freshening composition of this invention may comprise (i) from about 0.1 wt % to about 95 wt % perfume raw materials, (ii) from about 0.01 wt % to about 90 wt % fragrance release modulator, and (iii) from about 1.0 wt % to about 95 wt % solvents, diluents or a mixture thereof. Disclosed are passive and active air or surface freshening products comprising a freshening composition of the present invention that allow controlled and customized release of the freshening composition to the atmosphere, air, or onto surfaces. The addition of a fragrance release modulator to formulate a freshening composition of the present invention allows the modulation of the release of the freshening composition.

A scent vaporizing and distribution device uses an electric heating element to rapidly vaporize a liquid scent material. An airflow generator is used to create a distribution airflow that distributes the vapor from the device. The airflow generator can be an electric-powered fan or a manually-powered pump or squeezable bladder. The liquid scent material can include a glycol or a water-glycol mixture. A scent material such as liquid or powdered deer urine or a pleasant scent that can be used as a room or automobile or room freshener is mixed with the liquid. The vapor generator can be removable and replaceable such that different scents can be used with a single airflow generator or an empty generator can be replaced.

An air treatment system is disclosed that includes a modular configuration whereby a fan module, filter module, and humidifier module may couple together to provide a plurality of air treatment solutions. In more detail, the modules can stack end-to-end in a vertical configuration. The modules may electrically couple to each other via a common electrical bus and enable a controller disposed in the fan module (or other module) to control fan flow rates, direction, and humidity. The fan module can include an articulating nozzle capable of directing airflow in virtually any direction and angle about an environment. The fan module can further include an inlet arrangement that can selectively restrict external air from entering the fan module housing when the fan module is fluidly coupled to the filter module. Thus, the fan module may generate air flow from exclusively filtered air to minimize or otherwise reduce bacterial/mold growth within the fan module housing.

Electronic imitation candle devices are described that produce a scent while including a flame-like element that simulates a real fire flame. One example device includes a support assembly having a base, a top plate and a support rod that connects the base and the top plate, as well as a flame element and a light source to simulate a real candle flame. The device also includes a fragrance compartment above the top plate that includes a lid removably positioned on top of the fragrance container. The device is further provided with a heating element above the top plate and below the fragrance container to provide heat to the fragrance container, and a switch coupled to the lid of the fragrance container and operable to sense that the fragrance container is covered by the lid and to deactivate the heating element when the fragrance container is covered by the lid.

Described are articles formed of a pulp base material comprising fibers, wherein pores are formed between the fibers. A volatile composition with at least one top note component and at least one base note component at least partially fills the pores of the pulp base material. A release rate of the at least one top note component is modulated by the pulp base material, and a release rate of the at least one base note component is enhanced by the pulp base material.

An electronic scented candle is described that includes a movable flame-shaped component, a shell including an installation chamber, a fragrance container that is removably positioned inside the installation chamber and a scent chamber. An electric fan is positioned within the shell to drive the air into the scent chamber and a scent outlet coupled to the scent chamber to allow the fragrance material to leave the scent chamber and to reach an external environment of the electronic scented candle. The electronic candle also includes a receptacle for connecting a power cord on a bottom surface of the electronic candle. The bottom surface includes a plurality of protruding stands that provide a space to allow the power cord to be connected to the receptacle and be routed below the bottom surface.

[Technical Problem] The problem of the present invention is to provide a fragrance diffuser which can diffuse a fragrance efficiently from a fragrance source with a calm atmosphere.

[Solution to Problem] A fragrance diffuser 1 of the present invention is provided. The fragrance diffuser 1 comprises a Peltier element 10 comprising the first surface 11 and the second surface 12, a heat source installed part 20 to install a heat source 21 to heat the first surface 11, a fragrance source installed part 30 to install a fragrance source 31, a fan 40 to send the air to the fragrance source installed part 30, a motor 50 to drive the fan 40 and a circuit 60 to supply electric power to the motor 50 from the Peltier element 10.

The invention relates to a diffusing apparatus for diffusing a substance in the vapor state into the surrounding air, and in particular to a removable assembly of said apparatus which includes a storage container (10, 110, 210) including an orifice (12) and containing a liquid substance selected from semiochemical molecules, pheromones, allomones, kairomones, synomones and fragrances of natural or synthetic origin, and an inner cellular retaining member housed at least in a mouth area of the storage container which is adjacent to the opening and set back from the opening. The removable assembly of the apparatus may include a dispensing member (30) including a porous body having an evaporation surface located outside the storage container. The substance may have a viscosity which varies according to temperature, the viscosity and the surface tension of the liquid substance being such that when the acceleration due to gravity is exerted from the opening toward the porous body, the substance does not flow through the porous body at an ambient temperature below a first temperature.

An air treatment system is disclosed that includes a modular configuration whereby a fan module, filter module, and humidifier module may couple together to provide a plurality of air treatment solutions. In more detail, the modules can stack end-to-end in a vertical configuration.
