  • Scented Packaging
    Publication number: 20190367229
    Abstract: A product package and method that allows a consumer to sample a fragrance of a product at the point of sale. The product package (100) includes a vessel (102) defining an orifice (114), a product (104) disposed within the vessel that may be dispensed from the vessel through the orifice, a cap (108) attached to the vessel, and a scented material (144) having a fragrance (146). When the cap, and thus the product package, is in an open position, the fragrance of the scented material is released to an exterior of the product package and may be sampled or smelled by a consumer. When the cap, and thus the product package, is in a closed position, the fragrance of the scented material is substantially prevented from being released to the exterior of the product package.
