ABSTRACT:
A mask placeable over at least one respiratory organ of a user's face for blocking out unpleasant odors and for emitting a scent which is pleasant to the user. The mask has an air-permeable body with an inner surface shaped to fit over a respiratory organ of the user, a strap for securing the mask on the user, and an air-permeable scenting device to emit different scents which are pleasant to the user. The air-permeable scenting device includes a substantially tubular body within a pocket attached to the inner surface of the air-permeable body. The tubular body is breakable by applying a bending moment to the tubular body. Upon breaking, the tubular body releases a scent. The scenting device further includes a membrane substantially enclosing the tubular body. The membrane is substantially saturable by the scent when the tubular body is broken to release the scent through said air-permeable body.
