15. An air freshener comprising:
-
a housing having at least a first compartment and a second compartment, each of the first and second compartments having a plurality of first vents formed in the housing; a first fan unit disposed within the first compartment, the first fan unit includes a rotatable first fan blade and the housing further includes a first air deflector that is located proximate the first fan blade below the first vents in the housing and is angled to create air turbulence and direct air moved by the first fan blade out of the first vents; a second fan unit disposed within the second compartment, the second fan unit includes a rotatable second fan blade and the housing further includes a second air deflector that is located proximate the second fan blade below the first vents in the housing and is angled to create air turbulence and direct air moved by the second fan blade out of the first vents; a first removable fragrance holder holding a first fragrance emitting substance, the holder having a membrane through which the first fragrance substance diffuses; a second removable fragrance holder holding a second fragrance emitting substance, the holder having a membrane through which the second fragrance emitting substance diffuses, wherein the first and second fragrance holders are disposed adjacent the first and second fan units located in the first and second compartments, respectively, within the housing proximate the first vents in the first and second compartments, each of the first and second fragrance holders having a coupling mechanism that permits the holder to be securely held in place within the housing in a loaded position, the coupling mechanism including a release structure that permits the holder to be entirely disengaged and removed from the housing to allow access to the fragrance emitting substance; and a programmable processor that is operatively connected to a power source and the first and second fan units and configured to drive the first and second fan units so as to promote discharge of one of the first and second fragrance emitting substances from the housing.
