An air freshener is configured to be carried by a power outlet of an automobile. The air freshener includes a scent capsule disposed in a housing. A heat source is disposed in the housing adjacent and opposing a permeable membrane of the scent capsule. The heat source is configured to heat the fragrant material in the scent capsule and accelerate permeation of the fragrant material through the permeable membrane of the sent capsule. A hatch is pivotally coupled to the housing and substantially contained within a hatch cavity with an outer surface that is substantially flush with an exterior of the housing in a closed position. The hatch can include a capsule cavity therein, carrying the scent capsule, and facing an interior of the housing in the closed position.

1. An air freshener device configured to be carried by a cigarette lighter style power outlet of an automobile having a bottom terminal and at least one side terminal, the device comprising: a) a housing with a stem and a head with a cavity therein, the stem sized and shaped to be inserted into the cigarette lighter style power outlet of the automobile, and the stem having a bottom tip terminal and at least one lateral terminal corresponding to the bottom terminal and at least one side terminal of the cigarette lighter style power outlet;b) a scent capsule disposed in the housing and having a chamber containing a fragrant material and having a permeable membrane through which a fragrance of the fragrant material can permeate over time;c) a heat plate disposed in the housing adjacent and opposing the permeable membrane of the scent capsule capable of being powered by the power outlet of the automobile to heat the fragrant material in the scent capsule and accelerate permeation of the fragrant material through the permeable membrane of the sent capsule;d) a gap between the heat plate and the permeable membrane of the scent capsule; ande) a power port in the head oldie housing opposite the stem, and electrically coupled to the terminals of the stem. 2. The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the power port is oriented at an acute angle with respect to the stern. 3. The device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising: an outlet vent aperture in a lateral side of the head. 4. The device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising: a) a hatch cavity in the head of the housing;b) a hatch pivotally coupled to the housing and substantially contained within the hatch cavity with an outer surface that is substantially flush with an exterior of the housing in a closed position, and with a capsule cavity therein facing an interior of the housing in the closed position; andc) the scent capsule removably disposed in the capsule cavity of the hatch and carried by the hatch as the hatch pivots, the permeable membrane facing the interior of the cavity in the closed position. 5. The device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising: a box containing at least one resistor and covered by the heat plate. 6. The device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising: a hatch coupled to the housing and displaceable with respect to the housing; andthe hatch forming part of a bulbous head. 7. The device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising: a hatch coupled to the housing and displaceable with respect to the housing, the hatch having a capsule cavity therein facing an interior of the housing; andthe scent capsule removably disposed in the capsule cavity of the hatch. 8. The device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising: a hatch coupled to the housing and displaceable with respect to the housing;an exterior window in an outer surface of the hatch; andthe scent capsule having a dome that is at least translucent so that the fragrant material is visible through the dome and the exterior window of the hatch. 9. An air freshener device configured to be carried by a cigarette lighter style power outlet of an automobile, the device comprising: a) a housing with a stern and a head with a cavity therein, the stem sized and shaped to be inserted into the power outlet of the automobile, and the stem having a bottom tip terminal and at least one lateral terminal corresponding to the bottom terminal and at least one side terminal of the cigarette lighter style power outlet;b) a hatch coupled to the housing and displaceable with respect to the housing, the hatch having a capsule cavity therein facing an interior of the housing; andc) a scent capsule removably disposed in the capsule cavity of the hatch and carried by the hatch as the hatch displaces, the scent capsule having a chamber containing a fragrant material and having a permeable membrane through which a fragrance of the fragrant material can permeate over time, the permeable membrane facing the interior of the cavity in a closed position. 10. The device in accordance with claim 9, further comprising: a heat source disposed in the housing adjacent and opposing the permeable membrane of the scent capsule capable of being powered by the power outlet of the automobile to heat the fragrant material in the scent capsule and accelerate permeation of the fragrant material through the permeable membrane of the sent capsule. 11. The device in accordance with claim 9, further comprising: a heat plate; anda gap between the heat plate and the permeable membrane of the scent capsule. 12. The device in accordance with claim 11, further comprising: a box containing at least one resistor and covered by the heat plate. 13. The device in accordance with claim 9, further comprising: a power port in the head of the housing opposite the stem, and electrically coupled to the terminals of the stem. 14. The device in accordance with claim 13, wherein the power port is oriented at an acute angle with respect to the stem. 15. The device in accordance with claim 13, further comprising: an outlet vent aperture in a lateral side of the head. 16. An air freshener device configured to be carried by a cigarette lighter style power outlet of an automobile, the device comprising: a) a housing with a stem and a head with a cavity therein, the stem sized and shaped to be inserted into the power outlet of the automobile, and the stem having a bottom tip terminal and at least one lateral terminal corresponding to the bottom terminal and at least one side terminal of the cigarette lighter style power outlet;b) a scent capsule disposed in the housing and having a chamber containing a fragrant material and having a permeable membrane through which a fragrance of the fragrant material can permeate over time; andc) a power port in the head of the housing opposite the stem, and electrically coupled to the terminals of the stem. 17. The device in accordance with claim 16, wherein the power port is oriented at an acute angle with respect to the stem. 18. The device in accordance with claim 16, further comprising: an outlet vent aperture in a lateral side of the head. 19. The device in accordance with claim 16, further comprising: a hatch coupled to the housing and displaceable with respect to the housing, the hatch having a capsule cavity therein facing an interior of the housing; andthe scent capsule removably disposed in the capsule cavity of the hatch. 20. The device in accordance with claim 16, further comprising: a heat source disposed in the housing adjacent and opposing the permeable membrane of the scent capsule capable of being powered by the power outlet of the automobile to heat the fragrant material in the scent capsule and accelerate permeation of the fragrant material through the permeable membrane of the sent capsule.
