Abstract
A pouch filled with a fragrance material has a proximal end of a strap joined thereto. A first fastener is appended on a rear face of the strap, at or near the proximal end. A second fastener is appended on the rear face of the strap at or near the distal end of the strap. Preferably, a third fastener is on or appended to a rear face of the pouch. The second fastener, such as a male snap fastener, is removably joinable to either the first fastener to form a loop in the strap or to the third fastener so that the rear face of the strap faces the rear face of the pouch. The pouch may be suspended from a mounting structure, such as a neck of a rear-view mirror of an automobile, by the strap in either configuration.

Abstract
An air freshener has a rigidifying core defining a central axis, and an outer portion or sleeve contacting the core that is formed from one or more fragrance loaded polymers. Together, the core and outer portion are shaped to surround a first axis perpendicular to the central axis. The air freshener is made by injection molding a first shot of at least one polymer material to form the core, and injection molding a second shot of at least one polymer material incorporating one or more fragrance materials over or onto or into at least a portion of the core. The second shot of polymer material may be stretched about the portion of the core during injection molding, and may flow into a first hole formed in the core at or near the core distal end, and fills a second hole formed in the core at or near the core proximal end.

An air freshener removably engages with a structure, such as the supporting post of a rear view mirror of a motor vehicle. The air freshener has a rigidifying core defining a central axis, and an outer portion or sleeve contacting the core that is formed from one or more fragrance loaded polymers. Together, the core and outer portion are shaped to surround a first axis perpendicular to the central axis. The ends of the air freshener are juxtaposed generally opposite one another in closed configuration, and the arm portions of the air freshener flex in directions substantially parallel to the first axis to separate the ends to open the air freshener. A breakable strap and/or connectors may be provided to join the ends together. Alternatively, one end of the air freshener may be inserted within a cavity formed in the opposite end of the air freshener.
