Abstract: A sample embodiment of the invention allows creating a device (11) for generating fragrances for distribution in steam rooms. Steam is conducted from a steam generator (38) to a vessel (13) by a steam supply line (15). A receptacle (26) for scent carriers (28), which may, for example, be similar to a sieve, is arranged within the vessel. The hot steam liberates fragrances, or scents, from the scent carriers. A steam exhaust line (16) for transporting steam saturated with fragrances, or scents, from the vessel (13), to the steam room, extends from the former, into the latter. The vessel (13) may be sealed by a lid (30). Emplacing that device (11) at a readily accessible location and moderate height within a steam room will provide for convenient operation thereof.
