A scent producing vase assembly holds artificial flowers and produces a scent to fully simulate the presence of real flowers in the vase. The assembly includes a vase having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall coupled to and extending upwardly from a perimeter edge of the bottom wall. An upper edge of the perimeter wall defines an opening into an interior space of the vase. A housing is coupled to and extends through the bottom wall of the vase. A scent producing element is positioned in the housing. A channel has a lower end and an upper end. The lower end is in environmental communication with the scent producing element in the housing. An opening extends through the upper end of the channel wherein the scent producing element delivers a scent to ambient air around the upper end of the channel.
