Abstract
A scent sampler has a compressible and expandable housing in which there is a chamber containing a resilient, compressible, absorbent, elastic reservoir for absorbing a scented liquid. The housing is formed from two bin-like members made of a form sustainable material, one inverted relative to and telescopically captured within the other for relative reciprocation. Squeezing of the housing urges the housing members to telescope toward one another thereby reducing the volume and increasing the pressure in the chamber for forcing vapor in the chamber into the ambient environment through an opening in the housing.
