Systems and devices for emitting volatile compositions
First Claim
1. A system for emitting two or more volatile compositions, said system comprising at least one device wherein said two or more volatile compositions comprise a first volatile composition, a second volatile composition, and optionally additional volatile compositions, wherein said at least one device is configured to emit said first, second, and optional additional volatile compositions in a substantially continuous emission sequence in which the emission of the different volatile compositions automatically alternates between the different volatile compositions in the sequence.

Abstract
Methods and devices for emitting volatile materials are disclosed. In some embodiments, methods and devices for emitting two or more fragrance compositions are disclosed. In one non-limiting embodiment of a device, the device has a housing, and the housing is supported on an electrical outlet by a plug at least indirectly joined to the housing. The device contains a first volatile composition and a second volatile composition. The first volatile composition is emitted in an alternating period relative to said second volatile composition. In one embodiment of the method, the volatile compositions are alternately emitted during periods that are greater than 15 minutes and less than 2 hours.

30. A method for providing fragrance compositions for a system that emits two or more fragrance compositions, said method comprising:
-
(a) providing a consumer with a selection of two or more fragrance compositions, said fragrance compositions being provided in containers wherein said containers are configured for use in one or more emitting devices, or as stand alone articles; and
(b) providing some type of indicia to inform a consumer which of said two or more fragrance compositions are compatible for use together. - View Dependent Claims (31)
