Abstract

A clothing hanger is disclosed with at least one integral convenient, refillable scented material compartment with a control mechanism to regulate the amount of scent emanating from the clothing hanger, including a pair of shoulders to support clothing connected to a hook extending upwardly from a hanger neck to opposing distal ends, so that the clothing hanger can be hooked over a closet rod or the like. At least one storage compartment is integral with the neck and shoulders of the clothing hanger for containing scented materials. A cartridge housing is integral with the storage compartment, and the cartridge housing is designed to receive a snap-in scented material cartridge. The user will determine which scent is desired, and then will fill the cartridge with the appropriate scent, snap the filled cartridge into the storage compartment and the cartridge housing, hang up the clothing on the hanger, and enjoy the scent when they remove the clothing from the hanger.
