Abstract
A fragrance releasing insert for magazines provides a fragrance sample to readers. The insert of the present invention is formed from a single substrate which has a removable portion which contains the fragrance sample. The removable portion forms a diffusion resistant envelope around the fragrance sample which reduces the possibility of inadvertent contamination of the magazine by fragrance. While the removable diffusion resistant envelope is attached to the remainder of the insert in the magazine, the fragrance cannot be sampled. However, after removal of the envelope along a pair of perforations, the fragrance may be sampled by peeling open the envelope, thus causing a release of the fragrance.

A fragrance releasing insert for magazines, comprising:
- a substrate having a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, a forth edge, a first surface and a second surface, wherein said first edge is opposite of said forth edge and said second edge is opposite of said third edge;
- a barrier coating, wherein said barrier coating is applied to a portion of said first surface of said substrate, wherein said barrier coating has a first end proximal to said first edge of said substrate and has a second end proximal to said forth edge of said substrate;
- a fragrance containing adhesive, wherein said fragrance containing adhesive is applied to a portion of said barrier coating;
- a pattern breakaway adhesive, wherein said pattern breakaway adhesive is applied to a portion of said barrier coating strip, wherein said pattern breakaway adhesive substantially surrounds said fragrance containing adhesive strip;
- a first adhesive, wherein said first adhesive is applied to a portion of said first surface of said substrate proximal to said first edge;
- a first fold, wherein said first fold is positioned on said barrier coating and extends from said second edge to said third edge of said substrate, wherein a portion of said first surface proximal to said first edge faces and is adhered to a portion of said first surface, wherein a portion of said second surface proximal to said first edge overlaps a portion of said first surface, and wherein said first surface, said pattern breakaway adhesive and said first fold completely surround said fragrance containing adhesive;
- a second adhesive, wherein said second adhesive is applied to a portion of said second surface of said substrate proximal to said first edge;
- a third adhesive, wherein said third adhesive is applied to a portion of said second surface of said substrate proximal to said first fold;
- a perforation, wherein said perforation is positioned on a portion of said substrate where said second surface overlaps said first surface, wherein said perforation extends from said second edge to said third edge and wherein said perforation extends entirely through said overlapping portions of said substrate;
- a second fold, wherein said second fold is positioned between said second adhesive and said perforation, wherein said second fold extends from said second edge to said third edge of said substrate, wherein said third adhesive is adhered to a portion of said first surface of said substrate, and wherein said second adhesive is adhered to a portion of said second surface.
