A solid air-improving composition comprising a carrier material, a volatile active material gradually evaporating therefrom and a gel formed by a paraffin component and a gelifying metal soap is improved by providing a deodorant agent or an odorant agent or a mixture of these agents as said active material, a liquid paraffin having at 20.degree. C an evaporation number ranging from 8 to 1000 based on the evaporation number at 20.degree. C of diethyl ether being equal one, constituting the paraffin component, the metal soap constituting the non-evaporating carrier material proper, and water in an amount sufficient for complete gelling of the metal soap and liquid paraffin; the active agent evaporates from the composition with preservation of the outer appearance of the latter but with shrinkage of its volume.
