Abstract: According to the present invention, a vase is set forth which includes a container to define a first space to receive either live or imitation plant. The container has a closed base. A housing as defined in the container to define a second space separate from the first space, the housing has an opening at the base. At least one of (a) a light or (b) a scent chemical and blower are disposed in the housing. When the light is energized, the light is adapted to illuminate through said opening to provide area lighting at the base of the vase. When the scent chemical and blower are used and the blower is energized, scented air is driven from the housing second space to provide proximal air freshening.
