Abstract:

Secured air sealed about the support is a tubular bellows a soft, pliable composition forming an air chamber overlying the exposed relation of the fragrance ingredient. Breather holes formed through the support underlying the fragrance ingredient therein enables dispensing of a controlled quantity of fragrance scent by manually compressing the bellows. An adhesive pad on the undersurface of the support enables the apparatus to be attached to a recipient surface.

This enables on-site consumer testing of the unit by depressing the wrap which in turn compresses the bellows to effect a scent emission outward through said aperture.
