Abstract: Embodiments relate to passive liquid air freshener systems that allow fragrances to evaporate through use of a wicking element where fluid moves by capillary action towards the emanating surface, as well as the fragrance stabilizing compositions used therein and to active liquid air freshener systems that assist the evaporation of the fragrances through use of electrical devices, heated elements or forced air units. Cyclomethicone-based liquid compositions, preferably clear, provide an improved rate of evaporation of perfume materials from the air freshener device emanating surface and allow the use of fragrance materials with a wide range of characteristics. Embodiments utilize cyclomethicone in combination with other solvents specifically to increase solubility, enhance performance, maintain consistent fragrance character and maximize the range of aromatic materials that can be used.
