A preferred embodiment includes (1) at least one thermoformed shell forming part of a reservoir and defining a deformable actuation wall; (2) an additional element, such as a capsule-forming substrate or film or a thermoformed shell for finishing off the reservoir, with the reservoir formed in this way containing at least a gas; (3) a spray orifice through which the fluid is sprayed; (4) a porous material piece which is capable of retaining a quantity of fluid and which is disposed upstream from the spray orifice; and (5) a support member fixed to the thermoformed shell to hold the porous material piece in place. The spray orifice is formed by the support member.
