Abstract
The toilet paper roll scented foam insert is a pliable, scent-impregnated foam sleeve that slips over the roller of a toilet paper dispenser and resiliently grips the roller. The insert is dimensioned and configured to slide through the hollow core of a roll of toilet paper. The sleeve has dentate ends that extend beyond the ends of the roll of toilet paper. When the roller is rotated to dispense paper, the passage of air through the dentate ends helps to dispense and distribute the scent through the air adjacent the toilet to overcome toilet odor.

A toilet paper roll scented foam insert, comprising:
- a cylindrical, hollow sleeve made from a resilient foam material, the sleeve having opposing dentate ends defining vanes;
- and
- a fragrance, the sleeve being impregnated with the fragrance;
