A method of dispensing fragrant vapor into the ambient, comprising:
- (a) providing a container having a fragrant material absorbed onto an absorbent material and a reactant system therein, wherein said reactant system generates heat when an aqueous solution is added to the container;
- and
- (b) adding an aqueous solution to said container such that said reactant system generates heat which releases fragrant vapor from said fragrant material.
A device for dispensing fragrance, comprising a container having therein:
- (a) a reactant system which generates heat when an aqueous solution is added to the container;
- and
- (b) at least one fragrant material, wherein the fragrant material is mixed together with the reactant system in the container;
- wherein at least a portion of said container is porous.
A device for dispensing fragrance, comprising a container housing a fragrant material and a reactant system which generates heat when an aqueous solution is added to the container, wherein the fragrant material and reactant system are mixed together in said container, and wherein said container includes a porous barrier member and is configured to accept an aqueous solution through said porous barrier member in order to generate heat within said container and dispense fragrance from said container into the ambient through said porous barrier member.
