An air freshener comprises a container divided into an inner cylindrical reservoir and an outer annular reservoir with at least two different fragrant materials with different fragrances. A cap is carried by the container and covers the reservoirs. A sleeve extends from the cap into the container between the reservoirs. The cap is movable axially with respect to the container between a raised position in which the at least two different fragrances are released, and a closed position in which the cap covers the container to resist release of the at least two different fragrances.

The air freshener device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the containers further comprise: an interlocking coupling between the containers at a bottom inner rim of the outer annular container, and at a bottom outer rim of the inner cylindrical container. 3. The air freshener device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the outer annular container, the inner cylindrical container, the cylindrical sleeve, and the first fragrant material are at least translucent, and the second fragrant material is visible therethrough. 4. The air freshener device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the outer wall of the outer annular container is at least translucent and the first fragrant material is visible therethrough; and wherein at least a portion of the cap over the inner cylindrical container is at least translucent at the second fragrant material is visible therethrough. 5. An air freshener device, comprising: a) a container;b) a pair of concentric cylindrical walls disposed in the container and concentric with one another and forming an annular gap therebetween and dividing the container into an inner cylindrical reservoir and an outer annular reservoir circumscribing the inner cylindrical reservoir;c) a first fragrant material disposed in the outer annular reservoir from which a first fragrance permeates over time;d) a second fragrant material disposed in the inner cylindrical reservoir from which a different second fragrance permeates over time;e) a cap carried by the container and covering the reservoirs;f) a sleeve extending from the cap into the annular gap between the pair of cylindrical walls;g) at least one opening in the sleeve; andh) the cap movable axially with respect to the container between a raised position in which the at least one opening in the sleeve is exposed at least partially to release the second fragrance from the inner cylindrical reservoir through the at least one opening in the sleeve, and the cap is raised to release the first fragrance from the outer annular reservoir, and a closed position in which the at least one opening in the sleeve is disposed in the annular gap and the cap covers the container to resist release of the first and second fragrances. 6. The air freshener device in accordance with claim 5, further comprising: mating screw threads formed between the sleeve and at least one of the pair of concentric cylindrical walls such that rotation of the cap moves the cap axially with respect to the container. 7. The air freshener device in accordance with claim 5, wherein the container further comprises: a) an outer annular container;b) an inner cylindrical container circumscribed by the outer annular container; andc) an interlocking coupling between the containers at a bottom inner rim of the outer annular container, and at a bottom outer rim of the inner cylindrical container. 8. The air freshener device in accordance with claim 5, wherein the outer annular container, the inner cylindrical container, the cylindrical sleeve, and the first fragrant material are at least translucent, and the second fragrant material is visible therethrough. 9. The air freshener device in accordance with claim 5, wherein an outer wall of the outer annular container is at least translucent and the first fragrant material is visible therethrough; and wherein at least a portion of the cap over the inner cylindrical container is at least translucent at the second fragrant material is visible therethrough. 10. The air freshener device in accordance with claim 5, further comprising: the cap having a top wall covering the inner cylindrical container and abutting to an upper rim thereof in the closed position; andthe cap having an outer annular cap covering the outer annular container and abutting to an upper rim thereof in the closed position. 11. The air freshener device in accordance with claim 10, further comprising: the outer annular cap having an annular groove formed around a perimeter thereof to receive the upper rim of the outer wall in the closed position. 12. An air freshener device, comprising: a) a container divided into an inner cylindrical reservoir and an outer annular reservoir being separate and discrete from, and circumscribing, the inner cylindrical reservoir;b) at least two different fragrant materials with different fragrances that permeate over time, each disposed in a different one of the reservoirs;c) a cap carried by the container and covering the reservoirs;d) a sleeve extending from the cap into the container between both of the reservoirs; ande) the cap movable axially with respect to the container between a raised position in which the at least two different fragrances are released, and a closed position in which the cap covers the container to resist release of the at least two different fragrances. 13. The air freshener device in accordance with claim 12, further comprising: a pair of concentric cylindrical walls disposed in the container and concentric with one another and forming an annular gap therebetween and dividing the container into the inner cylindrical reservoir and the outer annular reservoir. 14.
