A grid is disposed in and fixedly secured to the canister and over the fragrant material. A pull top is releasably secured to the canister and extends over the open top to form a sealed container containing the fragrant material and the grid. The pull top is selectively removable from the canister to expose the grid therein, and allow release of the desired fragrance through the grid.
