A device for diffusing aromas which comprises a bottle having a bottom and defining an interior that contains therein a liquid aromatic product that includes an aroma to be diffused;
- a device body for diffusing the aroma from the liquid aromatic product, the body being removably mounted on the bottle and having an inner chamber which communicates with the bottle interior when in an operating position;
- entrance and exit channels for movement of air, the channels connected to a pressurized air circuit that opens into the inner chamber and causes movement of air along a path from the entrance to exit channels;
- a diffusion screen arranged in the inner chamber and positioned in the moving air path;
- and a capillary element extending from the liquid aromatic product to the diffusion screen. for directing the liquid aromatic product to the diffusion screen under capillary action, wherein the screen exposes the liquid aromatic product to the moving air which carries the aroma out of the device.
