Decorative Fragrance Dispensing System
A bead packet apparatus includes a plurality of beads that have been infused with fragrance. The bead packet further includes a fabric casing enclosing the plurality of beads. The plurality of beads may include ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) beads. The plurality of beads may be configured to release the fragrance over a period of time in the absence of heat above room temperature. The fragrance may be released in response to receiving an air flow between the plurality of beads.
1 . A bead packet apparatus comprising:
a plurality of beads that have been infused with fragrance; and
a fabric casing enclosing the plurality of beads.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of beads include ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) beads.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of beads are configured to release the fragrance over a period of time in the absence of heat above room temperature.
4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the fragrance is released in response to receiving an air flow between the plurality of beads.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the fabric casing includes a mesh that enables airflow through the plurality of EVA beads.
6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a total surface area of the plurality of EVA beads is large enough to release a human detectable amount of fragrance in the absence of heat above room temperature.
7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a fragrance load of the EVA beads is at least 17%.
8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a hook configured to attach to the fabric casing.
9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a size and shape of the bead packet fits a platform of a fragrance dispensing apparatus, the fragrance dispensing apparatus configured to:
receive the bead packet at the platform; and
actuate air flow through the bead packet, the bead packet remaining substantially unheated by a scent dispensing apparatus during actuation of the airflow.
10 . A method comprising:
receiving an air flow between a plurality of beads enclosed by a fabric casing;
releasing a fragrance from the plurality of beads in response to the air flow in the absence of heat above room temperature.
