ABSTRACT:
An air freshener for attachment to a ceiling fan includes a storage container, a thick, porous fragrance cake impregnated with a fragrance secured inside the storage container, and "hook and loop" fasteners for attaching the storage container to the cover or a light fixture of the ceiling fan. The storage container preferably includes a bottom, a side wall and a lid. Together, the bottom and the side wall define a cavity in which the fragrance cake is secured. The lid is movable relative to the side wall so that the lid may be moved to expose the fragrance cake. The lid, the side wall or both have a plurality of apertures therethrough to permit ambient air to circulate around the fragrance cake to distribute the fragrance to the surrounding area as the air enters and exits the apertures and is further circulated by the ceiling fan. In an alternative embodiment, a thin, porous fragrance pad impregnated with a fragrance is attached to the underside of one or more of the blades of the ceiling fan near the root with "hook and loop" fasteners. In yet another embodiment, the lid of the storage container includes a grip for opening and closing the lid to selectively activate the air freshener to thereby extend the life of the fragrance cake.
