Abstract

A dispenser (10) for a volatile liquid includes a housing (30) and a fan (32) mounted in the housing for generating an air stream. A guide associated with the housing and defines an opening having predetermined dimension to selectively receive a wick (310) and to position the wick in alignment with the fan to immerse the wick into an air stream when the fan is actuated.
