Abstract

An ergonomic scent diffuser having a first housing with electrical components connected to a second housing having a heating element disposed within. Slidably connected to the second housing is a cap. The cap has depressions adjacent an outer end to provide an ergonomic grip. The cap also has guide rails and retaining members that retain and position a fragrance emitting member over the heating element.
