• at least one shutoff and actuating element for shutting off the supply line,
• a micropump for adjusting a volume flow rate of the fragrance, said micropump having a maximum delivery volume that is smaller than a maximum delivery capacity of the at least one delivery unit, and
• a controller for controlling the at least one shutoff and actuating element or the micropump, or a combination thereof,
• wherein the controller activates the high-voltage unit and the micropump with a time offset so that as to reduce an amount of the fragrance disposed inside the at least one supply line between the at least one shutoff and actuating element and the at least one delivery unit (4, A).
