Abstract
A bottle for a refill for dispensing a volatile material includes a body defined by at least one sidewall and a neck extending upwardly from the at least one sidewall. The neck includes a rim at an upper end of the neck. The rim is defined by at least an inner surface, a chamfered surface, a top surface, and an outer surface. The sidewall extends upwardly from a bottom wall and bows outwardly from a longitudinal axis. A channel of the bottle defines the longitudinal axis. The chamfered surface adjoins the inner surface of the rim. The entire chamfered surface is tapered at an angle of between about 2 and about 9 degrees with respect to the longitudinal axis.
