An evaporative device including a container ( 1 ) for holding a liquid, the container ( 1 ) having an opening; a porous wick ( 3, 3 a) extending through the opening such that a portion of the wick ( 3, 3 a) contacts the liquid held within the container ( 1 ) and a portion of the wick ( 3, 3 a) is exposed to the ambient environment, wherein the wick ( 3, 3 a) transfers the liquid from the container ( 1 ) to the ambient air; and a capillary member ( 6, 8 ) having a surface in communication with a portion of the wick ( 3, 3 a). The surface has one or more exposed capillary pathways ( 7, 9 ) along which liquid, transferred by the wick ( 3, 3 a) from the container, is drawn by capillary action for dispersion to the ambient air.
