Abstract: A scent dispensing apparatus may include a scent container retaining apparatus configured to receive and securely retain a scent container, wherein the scent container includes a smart vial tag, a smart vial sensor directionally positioned to have a direct line of sight with the smart vial tag to read the smart vial tag when the scent container is securely retained in the scent retaining apparatus, and a fragrance management application that receives an identity of the smart vial tag from the smart vial sensor and generates a unique container profile for the scent container.

Abstract: A scent solution weight loss device including a housing configured to retain a scent solution, a sensor configured to detect weight loss data of the scent solution, a heating element configured to heat the scent solution, and an output device configured to provide the weight loss data to a weight loss application, wherein the weight loss application is configured to determine a scent solution lifetime based on the weight loss data.

Abstract: A scent dispensing device may comprise a scent vial holder configured to hold a scent vial, a top having a plurality of openings, the plurality of openings including a scent opening and an airflow opening, a heater configured to apply heat to the scent vial, and a fan configured to cause a flow of air to pass through the airflow opening creating a difference in air pressure between the airflow opening and the scent opening such that scent from the scent vial is drawn through the scent opening and into the flow of air.

Abstract: A vehicle scent dispensing device may comprise a scent cartridge configured to contain a scenting agent, a controller configured to determine a scent diffusion level of the scenting agent, a valve, and a fan. The controller may be configured operate the valve and control the fan to regulate an airflow pathway to the scenting agent and to draw air through the airflow pathway and over the scenting agent based on the scent diffusion level.
