Claim 8:
9. A sniffing cap for an aroma bottle providing for regulated access to an aroma within the aroma bottle, the sniffing cap comprising
a cap body comprising:
a top cap portion comprising at least one nozzle opening designed to be placed against a user's nostril and air vents extending through a side surface of the top cap portion, the nozzle opening and the air vents being separated by an internal partition; and
a bottom cap portion attached to the top cap portion, the bottom cap portion designed to removably engage with the aroma bottle;

a push button positioned between the top cap portion and the bottom cap portion, the push button including a push button body configured to engage and disengage with channels in the cap body; and
a dual section airflow tube extending from the bottom cap portion,
wherein:
the push button is designed to slide from a first configuration to a second configuration;
the first configuration blocks airflow through the channels and, thus, the cap body;
the second configuration allows for airflow through the channels and, thus, the cap body;
the bottom portion comprises:
a substantially cylindrical body with a first open end and a second closed end;
internal threads positioned in the first open end, the internal threads configured to engage with threads on a neck of the aroma bottle;
the dual section airflow tube concentrically positioned within the first open end and extending from an interior surface of the second closed end;
a first opening and a second opening extending through the second closed end, the first opening aligning with a first half of the dual section airflow tube and the second opening aligning with a second half of the dual section airflow tube;
a pair of valve protrusions extending upward from an exterior surface of the second closed end, each valve protrusion of the pair of valve protrusions positioned on a respective opening of the first opening and the second opening; and
a first channel extending through a first valve protrusion of the pair of valve protrusions, and a second channel extending through a second valve protrusion of the pair of valve protrusions, such that the exterior of the second closed end is in fluid communication with the dual section airflow tube, wherein the first channel and the second channel are the channels in the cap body with which the push button is configured to engage and disengage.
