Abstract
A nasal clip and/or dilator which is U-shaped having protruding wider spherical/spheroid holders at each end of the U is designed to be placed such that each spherical holder is in a nostril. The U-shaped clip can press against the columella and each holder against the septum. Inside each holder is a scented piece, such as a plastic ball or cylinder with aromatic compounds there-in which exit from the surface of the respective scented piece. To facilitate the scent escaping from the scented piece and into the nose, each holder has portals such as around the circumference thereof and/or on opposite sides thereof, transverse to the “U” of the holder.

- two separate spheroid holders spaced apart extending to said top side;
- a U-shaped base connecting said spheroid holders extending to said bottom side;
- a circular portal in one or both of said front side and said rear side of each spheroid holder.
