Abstract

A refill for dispensing a volatile material includes a bottle having a body defined by at least one sidewall and a neck extending from the body. The neck includes a rim at an upper end thereof and has an inner surface, a top surface, and an outer surface. A wick has a first end positioned within the bottle and a second end extending out of the bottle. A plug assembly is secured to the neck of the bottle and retains the wick within the bottle. A cap is coupled with the neck of the bottle. An underside of the cap includes a stop and a flange that form a seal with the plug assembly when the refill is in an assembled configuration.
