Claim:
A scent dispersing mat, comprising; a. a flexible outer housing having an upper surface, lower surface and side surfaces, said flexible outer housing comprising an outer surface of said mat, said outer surface having apertures adapted for dispersing a scent; b. said flexible outer housing having an interior and a first resealable opening; c. an inner pouch contained within said flexible outer housing, having been inserted therein through said first resealable opening, said inner pouch having an inner interior and a plurality of small apertures adapted for dispersing saturated vapor from said inner interior of said inner pouch to said interior of said flexible outer housing; d. said inner pouch having a second resealable opening; e. a fragrance body contained within said inner pouch, having been inserted therein through said second resealable opening, and comprising a springy spongy rubber or polyurethane polymeric material soaked in essential oils to form a fragrance body sponge spring, said fragrance body sponge spring being in a compressed configuration when a force is applied to said mat and being in a relaxed configuration when said force is not applied to said mat; f. said essential oils having a high vapor pressure at ambient temperature to volatilize said essential oils adapted to form a saturated fragrance vapor within said inner pouch; and g. said flexible outer housing adapted for releasing said saturated fragrance vapor within said inner pouch into a room when said force is applied to said outer surface of said mat, said room having fresh make-up air therein; whereby exertion of force on said mat squeezes said inner pouch releasing said saturated fragrance vapor into said interior of said outer housing and out through said apertures in said outer housing and into said room, said exertion of force causing said compressed configuration of said fragrance body sponge spring and releasing said force on said mat operates to draw said fresh make-up air from said room into said inner pouch through said small apertures in said inner pouch upon said relaxed configuration of said fragrance body sponge spring.
