Abstract
A volatile material dispenser includes a housing configured to receive a refill containing a volatile material and a wick. The housing includes a heater arrangement that defines an opening in which a distal portion of the wick is received. Additionally, a top cover is configured to be coupled to the housing and defines a central aperture through which a vapor plume exits the housing. The top cover includes an annular wall having a first surface, a second surface opposite therefrom, an outer edge, and an inner edge that defines the central aperture. The central aperture is positioned about a longitudinal axis that defines opposing first and second axial directions. The top cover further comprises a plurality of apertures arranged around the central aperture. The top cover defines a converging outlet defined between a trough and the inner edge, and the second surface curves from the trough to the inner edge.
