how to use

· Cartridge Removal: Remove sliding card format cartridge to squirt on fragrance

· Cartridge Operation: Insert cartridge into open slit on side of case; use the operation window on the back of the case to grip and slide the cartridge

· Adding Fragrances: Squirt or spray 2-3 drops of perfume, etc. onto the porous metal surface from a teardrop or spray container. A wide area porous surface has been adopted to facilitate longer enjoyment of fragrances.

· Cartridge Operation: The reverse side of the cartridge has been elegantly
etched for better grip when sliding the cartridge in and out of the case.

· Slide Adjustment: Pores on the porous metal surface are aligned with the front of the card case. Rate of diffusion can be controlled by sliding the cartridge.

· Body Heat Transfer: Touching the thermally conductive metal card case causes body heat to transfer to the cartridge, increasing the rate of fragrance diffusion.

· Changing Fragrances: The card case and cartridge can be washed, dried and
refilled after the scent becomes weak or when a change of fragrances is desired.

· Multi-Functional: Enjoy your favorite fragrances from your pocket, wallet, purse, desk or sun visor without getting perfume or oil on your clothes and body.

Slide Adjustment

The pores on the porous surface of the cartridge align with the front face of the card case. Adjust the rate of diffusion by sliding the cartridge from sealed to disperse.

Release ON (Cross sectional view 1)

Slide the porous metal surface on the cartridge (the red part in the figure below) to the back of the card case. Fragrance components filled into the porous metal surface diffuse through the pore hole openings in the front of the case.

Release OFF (Cross sectional view 2)

Sliding the cartridge toward the slit opening causes the porous metal surface and the cavity space to be hermetically sealed by the frame edge on the cartridge and the inner wall of the case.

Enlarged View of Case Interior (Cross sectional view 3)

A slight gap space between the porous metal surface and the inner wall of the card case has been designed to facilitate retention and dispersal of the scent.
