Abstract: The invention relates to a device for dispensing volatile substances, in particular fragrances and/or insecticides, comprising at least one storage medium (34, 35) that contains, in particular temporarily stores, the at least one substance to be dispensed, and at least one means (9) for producing at least one air flow, wherein the at least one air flow (47, 54) is directed toward the at least one storage medium (34, 35) in such a way that the air flow increases the rate of dispensation to the environment of the substance to be dispensed relative to the state in which a flow is not directed at the storage medium.
