A fragrance disperser in one form includes a single fan that passes air over a wicked single or double fragrance. A second form has the fan reversible to provide two different airstreams that evaporate respective different fragrances one after the other. Where two fragrances are provided, the evaporation may be by respective electrical heaters. A fragrance source may be formed by two sheets joined together to form two chambers each receiving a respective wick and having respective exposed wick portions. The source may incorporate a source of electrical power. An alternative source has a reservoir for fragrance and a wick located in an air passage forming part of the source so that an air flow is guided through the passage past the wick to evaporate fragrance. Where two fragrances are provided, the fragrance sources may be located side-by-side and matching fragrances may have, for example, matching indicia on the sources so that the match can be easily determined visually.

We claim: 1. A fragrance container which is adapted to be insertable into a separate fragrance dispenser, said fragrance container by itself comprising: a reservoir for receiving a liquid fragrance; an outlet member connected to said reservoir and defining a path for a flow of air, the outlet member including an entrance for the path and an exit for the path to release fragrance from the reservoir; and a wick located in the path defined by said outlet member for wicking liquid fragrance from the reservoir and to the path. 2. A fragrance container according to claim 1, wherein said entrance is at an end of the path of the outlet member remote from the reservoir and the exit for fragrance laden air is adjacent said reservoir. 3. A fragrance container according to claim 1, wherein the outlet member is adapted for engaging with the fragrance dispenser to permit the flow of air from an airflow source in the fragrance dispenser to the entrance of the outlet member. 4. A fragrance container according to claim 3, wherein the outlet member is adapted to be a snap fit with the fragrance dispenser. 5. A fragrance container according to claim 3, wherein the outlet member is adapted to be received in a duct of the fragrance dispenser for the passage of air from said source. 6. A fragrance container according to claim 3, wherein the entrance is at an end of the path of the outlet member remote from the reservoir and the exit for fragrance laden air is adjacent said reservoir. 7. A fragrance container which is adapted to be insertable into a separate fragrance dispenser, said fragrance container by itself comprising: a reservoir for receiving a liquid fragrance; an outlet member defining a path for a flow of air, the outlet member including an entrance for the path and an exit for the path to release fragrance from the reservoir; a wick which extends from inside the reservoir to an outside portion extending away from the reservoir; and wherein the outlet member is integral with the reservoir and surrounds the outside portion of the wick, the air thus flowing a) from the entrance of the outlet member, b) past the surrounded outside portion of the wick to release fragrance in the reservoir to the flowing air, and c) out the exit of the outlet member. 8. A fragrance container according to claim 1, wherein the exit of the outlet member is adapted to be disposed adjacent an aperture in a housing of the fragrance dispenser when the fragrance container is inserted in the fragrance dispenser. 9. A fragrance container which is insertable into a fragrance dispenser, said fragrance container comprising: a reservoir for receiving a liquid fragrance; an outlet member defining a path for a flow of air, the outlet member including an entrance for the path and an exit for the path to release fragrance from the reservoir, wherein the exit of the outlet member is adapted to be disposed adjacent an aperture in a housing of the fragrance dispenser when the fragrance container is inserted in the fragrance dispenser; an airflow source in the housing, the outlet member engaging with the housing to permit the flow of air from the airflow source to the entrance of the outlet member; and wherein the outlet member is a snap fit with said housing.
