Abstract: Chemical carriers for fragrances include components in proportions that enable a rate of diffusion or volatilization of at least one fragrance to be tailored. Such a fragrance carrier may include isopropyl myristate (IPM), 3-methyoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol (MMB), and cyclomethicone. The fragrance carrier may enable a fragrance to be delivered by a variety of different dispensers. Methods for optimizing the rates of diffusion or volatilization and other characteristics of fragrances using such a fragrance carrier are also disclosed.

Abstract: Fragrance dispensers with features that are capable of reducing wastage of fragrance, or of conserving fragrance, are disclosed. Such a fragrance dispenser may have a configuration that collects fragrance that is expelled from the fragrance dispenser, but has not vaporized or atomized sufficiently to dissipate into the environment, as well as fragrance that condenses immediately after it has been expelled from the fragrance dispenser. A spill-resistant bottle that may be used with a fragrance dispenser has a shape that orients an opening of the bottle in a somewhat upward orientation to prevent fragrance from spilling out when the bottle is tipped over. Fragrance dispensers with configurations that generate vortices to deliver fragrance into the surrounding environment are also disclosed.

Abstract: An electrical plug in fragrance dispenser can include a removable decorative sheath. The dispenser can be configured so that, when the sheath is attached, an electrical outlet is completely covered. In this way, the dispenser will have the appearance of a more permanent decorative light fixture. The dispenser can also be configured to plug into two outlets of an electrical receptacle thereby increasing the stability of the dispenser when attached to the wall or other surface. The dispenser may also include an outlet so that the receptacle can still be used when the dispenser is secured overtop the receptacle.
