The present invention relates to a fragrance releasing article, and more particular to a fragrance releasing article with a decorative element.
Fragrance makes people feel pleasant. Recently, people like to use a variety of fragrance devices to improve the indoor odor and increase the enjoyment of life. Common fragrance devices are essential oil lamps, scented candles and a variety of volatile fragrance gel or scented disc. However, fragrance devices such as the essential oil lamps or scented candles need to be ignited or plugged in to heat to evaporate their aromatic ingredients into the air. The use of these types of fragrance devices is either electrical energy-consuming, or the user should always pay attention to the surroundings and the burning conditions to avoid accidents. In contrast, the use of volatile fragrance gel or scented disc is not electrical energy-consuming, and the user does not need to pay attention to the safety issues.
Fragrance gel or scented disc is usually placed in a fragrance device. The outer package of some of the commercially available fragrance gel or scented disc has a simple design which can be directly open and used. However, the fragrance device and the outer package hardly have a decorative appearance or the appearance does not match with the interior decoration, which makes them look unfit to the interior decoration. Besides, the appearance can not be changed optionally to fit a newly renovated interior decoration.
Accordingly, in order to solve the foregoing problem that the fragrance device hardly match with the interior decoration, the present invention provides an fragrance releasing article with a decorative element, in which the fragrance releasing element and the decorative element can be replaced optionally, so that the fragrance releasing article can be taken as an ornament while providing fragrance to the indoor air, and therefore the fragrance releasing article has the advantage of being decorative, practical, environmentally friendly, and flexible in arrangement.

The front panel is removably covering and attached to the opening of the rear panel. The front panel comprises a decorative element covering part and a fragrance releasing element covering part for covering the fragrance releasing element receiving part and the decorative element receiving part, respectively. The fragrance releasing element covering part has at least one opening for releasing the fragrance of the fragrance releasing element, and the decorative element covering part has a display window for displaying the decorative element.
In implementation, the fragrance releasing article further comprises a carrier provided in the decorative element receiving part for carrying the decorative element.
In implementation, the carrier has a positioning part for positioning the decorative element.
In implementation, the decorative element is a photo or a picture.
In implementation, the fragrance releasing article further comprises a transparent element covering the display window of the decorative element covering part.
In implementation, the transparent element is a glass plate or an acrylic plate.
