- 17. The air freshener of claim 16 wherein said fragrance member is adapted to emit decreased fragrance when cooled.
- 18. The air freshener of claim 17 wherein said air freshener is adapted to emit increased fragrance in a warm sunny environment and decreased fragrance in a cool, dark environment.
- 19. The air freshener of claim 18 wherein said fragrance member is printed in a pattern including dark inks whereby said fragrance member performs the duty of distinguishing said air freshener as a decal and the duty of automatically variably activating said air freshener.
- 20. A removable non-adhesive planar air freshener comprising:
a first sheet having an adhesive free static cling first face adapted to removably cling to a glass surface, a second face, a first planar dimension, a second planar dimension and a footprint, a planar fragrance member having a first face, a second face, a first planar dimension, a second planar dimension and a footprint, said fragrance member first face permanently fixed to said first sheet second face entirely within the footprint of said first sheet, said fragrance member being porous and carrying a volatile fragrance, said fragrance member adapted to release said volatile fragrance at a selected rate adapted to provide air freshening in a confined space for several weeks.
- 21. A removable, non-adhesive planar air freshener comprising:
a first sheet having an adhesive free static cling first face adapted to removably cling to a glass surface, a second face, a first planar dimension, a second planar dimension and a footprint; a planar display sheet having a first face, a second face and a footprint, said display sheet first face permanently fixed to said first sheet second face entirely within said first sheet footprint and bearing a printed design; a planar odor abating member having a uniform thickness, a first face, a second face, a first planar dimension, a second planar dimension and a footprint, said odor abating member first face being in contact with said display sheet second face; and, a metering sheet having a first face in contact with said odor abating member second face and having a second planar dimension larger than said odor abating member second planar dimension, a portion of said metering sheet first face being permanently fixed to said first sheet second face.
- 22. The air freshener of claim 21 wherein said odor abating member is a body of baking soda.
- 23. The air freshener of claim 22 wherein said odor abating layer is a body of baking soda in a binder.
- 24. The air freshener of claim 23 wherein said metering sheet is a thin plastic sheet having an array of holes therein.
- 25. A removable non-adhesive planar air freshener comprising:
