<p>An artificially scented floral decoration includes a shielding mechanism for preventing the absorption by foliar components (7) of a scented liquid (3) which is drawn by means of a wick (4) from a vase (2) which supports the floral decoration. The shielding mechanism may assume any of three different forms, viz. the stem of the floral piece (1) immersed within the vase (2); alternatively, the stem (6) of the floral decoration may itself serve as the wick, but the foliar components (7) are then isolated from such stem by means of an impermeable base piece (14); and, finally, the stem (6) of the floral piece (1) may be chemically treated so as to render it impermeable to the scented liquid (3). Shielding the floral decoration from the scented liquid (3) prevents the floral decoration from becoming oily by absorption of the oily essence of such scented liquid (3).</p> |
