Problems solved by technology

While most people would prefer to decorate with fresh flowers, the costs of doing is often prohibitive.

Conventional attempts to combine the decorative effect of artificial flowers and the impact of scents are rather complicated and often lack flexibility.

While this system provides a scented artificial flower, the structure required for providing the scent is quite complex and, as result, expensive.

In addition, the wick may suffer degradation of its ability to properly draw fluid and is inseparable from the head of the flower, thereby reducing the user's ability to select scents and flower types.

Such systems are even more complex that the wick-based systems, costs, and involve moving parts that are subject to failure.
