ABSTRACT:
A pocket size aromatherapy scent dispenser includes a flat casing defining a narrow cavity, a lid formed by an upper portion of the casing and a living hinge extending across the casing below the upper portion and pivotally connecting the lid to a remainder portion of the casing such that the lid can pivot about the living hinge between opened and closed positions relative to the remainder portion of the casing. The lid in the opened position is pivoted away from the remainder portion of the casing and opens an upper portion of the narrow cavity above the living hinge to an external environment. The lid in the closed position is disposed adjacent to the remainder portion of the casing and closes the upper portion of the cavity to the external environment. A piece of absorbent material carrying an aroma-producing substance is contained within the narrow cavity and has an upper portion partially exposed to the external environment when the lid is in the opened position such that a scent is produced that escapes to the external environment. A flat insert plate is disposed within narrow the cavity of the casing and contacts the upper portion of the piece of material. The insert plate partially exposes the upper portion of the piece of material to the external environment when the lid is in the opened position.
