Aerosol-generating article having detachable freshener segment

An aerosol-generating article, comprising:

• a combustible heat source;
• an aerosol-generating substrate adjacent the combustible heat source;
• a freshener segment upstream of the combustible heat source and at least partially covering an upstream end of the combustible heat source, the freshener segment comprising a segment of support material having an annular shape defining a channel extending through at least a part of the segment of support material between an upstream end of the segment of support material and a downstream end of the segment of support material, and at least one freshener delivery element contained within the channel, wherein the at least one freshener segment is detachable from the combustible heat source to expose the combustible heat source prior to use of the aerosol-generating article;
• and
• a wrapper circumscribing at least the at least one freshener segment and the combustible heat source, the wrapper comprising a line of weakness extending around the wrapper so that the at least one freshener segment is detachable from the combustible heat source by breaking the wrapper along the line of weakness, wherein the line of weakness overlies an upstream edge of the combustible heat source.
