Vectair's pioneering Fragrance Technology granted US Patent
Vectair Systems has welcomed news that its multi-phasing fragrance technology has been awarded with a US Patent for its innovative approach to tackling fragrance fatigue.
The company has been award US Patent reference US 10,517,979 B2 and the invention is summarised on the USPTO website as the following:
"Fragrance dispenser comprising: a ceramic shell impregnated with an evaporable liquid fragrance, and having an internal recess containing a fragranced gel, the gel fragrance being different to the liquid fragrance, the ceramic shell having an opening for exposing the fragranced gel in the internal recess to the atmosphere without passing through the ceramic shell, the whole contained within a closed disposable container; and an impermeable layer located between the ceramic shell and the fragranced gel, the entire impermeable membrane remaining positioned between the ceramic shell and the fragranced gel when the fragranced gel is exposed to the atmosphere via the opening."
Vectair refers to the fragrance technology as ‘Multi-Phasing’ and sells the idea through its market leading Vectair V-Air Solid brand. The product can be found in many famous locations across the US and has changed the way public spaces think about passive air freshening since launching the fragrance technology in 2014.
Paul Wonnacott, founder and president of Vectair Systems says:
"This patent is a long time coming and we thank the USPTO for recognising the originality of this fragrance technology. We have again demonstrated why we are considered the leader in aircare and we look forward to seeing this technology help more public spaces provide an effective fragrance solution in the future."

The product has received numerous awards over the past five years, including awards for being Carbon Neutral.
