In one embodiment the first section is a holder for a fragrance material and the second section is a cover for the first section. The second section in a first position covers and substantially seals the first section and in a second position allows air to pass through a space between the first section and the second section and deliver the fragrance material to the atmosphere exterior to the air freshener unit. In a second embodiment both the first section and the second section contain fragrance material. In the first embodiment structure the first section is comprised of a plurality of recesses which hold the fragrance material and the second section is of a conforming shape to cover and substantially seal the plurality of recesses in a first position and in a second position allows air to pass between the first section and the second section to deliver the fragrance to the exterior of the air freshener unit.
