The spray closure according to claim 1 wherein the spray plug post includes a lower portion, adapted to sealingly engage the cap inner wall, and an upper portion, adapted to form at least one restrictive passage with the cap inner wall when the cap is in the open position. 3. A spray closure for a container for producing a mist spray, the spray closure comprising: (A) a spray plug for engaging the container, the spray plug including (1) a spray plug deck; (2) a spray plug seal extending from the deck for sealingly engaging the container; (3) a spray plug post extending from the deck in a direction generally opposite the spray plug seal; (4) a spray plug inner wall extending from the deck and surrounding the spray plug post to define a product flow space therewith; (5) at least one product passage formed in the spray plug deck between the spray plug post and the spray plug inner wall for permitting flow of product from the container through the spray plug deck to the product flow space; (6) a spray plug outer wall extending from the spray plug deck surrounding the spray plug inner wall to define an air flow space therewith; and (7) at least one air passage formed in the spray plug deck between the spray plug outer wall and the spray plug inner wall for permitting flow of air from the container through the spray plug deck to the air flow space; and (B) a cap cooperating with the spray plug and adapted to move with respect to the spray plug from a closed position to an open position; the cap including: (1) a cap inner wall defining a mixing chamber on an interior thereof and adapted to isolate the product flow space from the air flow space when the cap is in the closed position, the cap inner wall further adapted to permit fluid communication between the product flow space and the air flow space when the cap is moved to the open position, thereby permitting the mixing of air and product to form a mist in the mixing chamber; (2) a cap outer wall adapted to sealingly engage the spray plug outer wall at the open and closed position and at any intermediate position; and (3) a cap orifice in fluid communication with the mixing chamber for permitting flow of mist from the mixing chamber. 4. A spray closure for a container for producing a mist spray, the spray closure comprising: (A) a spray plug for engaging the container, the spray plug including at least one air passage formed therein for permitting flow of air from the container through the spray plug; at least one product passage formed therein for permitting flow of product from the container through the spray plug; and (B) a cap cooperating with the spray plug and adapted to move with respect to the spray plug from a closed position to an open position, the cap including a dispensing orifice for permitting flow of mist spray through the cap; (C) the cap and spray plug cooperating to define: (1) an air chamber in communication with the at least one air passage; (2) a product chamber in communication with the at least one product passage; and (3) an isolation seal for isolating the air chamber from the product chamber when the cap is in the closed position, the isolation seal permitting communication between the air chamber, the product chamber and the dispensing orifice when the cap is in the open position. 5. A spray closure for a container, including a container opening, for producing a spray, the spray closure comprising: (A) a spray plug for engaging the container adjacent the opening, the plug including (1) a spray plug skirt for supporting the spray plug on the container; (2) a spray plug post supported relative to the spray plug skirt, said spray plug post having an upper end surface; (3) an plug wall substantially surrounding the s pray plug post to define a flow space therewith; (4) at least one passage in the spray plug for permitting flow from the container into the flow space; and (B) a cap cooperating with the spray plug and adapted to move with respect to the spray plug from a closed position to an open position, the cap including: (1) an end wall defining a dispensing orifice defined therein for permitting flow through the cap; and (2) an inner wall extending from the end wall and adapted to seal the flow space when the cap is in the closed position to thereby prevent flow from the flow space, cap end wall engaging said spray plug upper end surface when said cap is in the closed position to block said dispensing orifice and eliminate any accumulation volume between said dispensing orifice and said spray plug post upper end surface. 6. The spray closure of claim 5 wherein the inner wall and spray plug post define at least one restrictive passage for permitting flow from the flow space to the dispensing orifice when the cap is in the open position. 7. The spray closure of claim 5 wherein the plug wall is generally annular. 8. The spray closure of claim 5 wherein the flow space is a generally annular flow space. 9. The spray closure of claim 5 wherein the plug wall is an inner plug wall; and the spray plug includes an outer wall, spaced from and surrounding the inner plug wall. 10. The spray closure of claim 9 wherein the cap includes an outer wall sealingly engaged with the spray plug inner wall to define an air flow space; and the spray plug has at least one passage for permitting flow of air from the container into the air flow space. 11. The spray closure of claim 5 wherein the spray plug wall has an exterior surface; and the cap includes an outer wall sealingly engaged with the exterior surface of the spray plug wall to contain flow discharging from the flow space within a region adjacent to the dispensing orifice when the closure is in the open position. 12. The spray closure of claim 5 wherein the spray plug post includes 1) an upper portion having a plurality of radially extending arms defining at least one restrictive passage with the cap inner wall when the cap is in the open position and 2) a lower portion having a smooth outer surface adapted to sealingly engage the cap inner wall when the cap is in the closed position. 13. The spray closure of claim 5 wherein the spray plug further comprises an outer shell. 14. The spray closure of claim 13 wherein the outer shell has two generally semi-circular shaped top end wall portions and wherein the cap is generally U-shaped and is disposed between the two semi-circular top end wall portions. 15.
