Abstract

The invention relates to a diffusion device (1) for an automotive vehicle. The diffusion device (1) comprises a housing (2) with an ambient air inlet (3), a treated air outlet (3), a diffusion chamber (4) and an insert (7). The insert (7) is located inside the diffusion chamber (4) and contains at least one volatile agent (AV1). The insert (7) can rotate via an electric motor (12) for selectively diffusing or not the volatile agent (AV1). The diffusion device (1) also comprises a blower (13) fixed on the housing (2). The insert (7) comprises a member (15) which carries two cartridges (8, 9) containing volatile agent. The member (15) rotates with the insert (7) and can be axially displaced by extraction means. These extraction means expels the member (15) out of the housing (2) when the user pushes on the cap (14).
