Martin on March 11, 1997: “A fragrance dispenser for use with synchronized visual images may have a breath sensor located adjacent a person’s nose and actuated by inhaling and exhaling through the nose to produce a fragrance dispensing signal and a plurality of fragrance dispensers each having a fragrance release portion positioned adjacent a person’s nose for dispensing a fragrance adjacent the nose responsive to a fragrance dispensing signal from the breath sensor.” (Thanks to Christina Agapakis for bringing this to our attention.)
