A cartridge for a scent dispenser comprises: a reservoir; and at least one porous member (which may be referred to as a wicks). The reservoir is for containing a liquid (for example a perfume). The or each at least one porous member is elongate, and hollow porous member, and may, for example, be generally of the form of a tube formed from porous material. At least one end of the or each porous member is in fluid communication with the reservoir. Also disclosed is an apparatus (a scent dispenser) comprising a support for supporting the cartridge. The apparatus further comprises an actuation mechanism operable interact with a cartridge supported by the support so as to cause liquid to flow from the reservoir through the at least one porous member. As liquid flows through the at least one porous member it may saturate it/them and wick through the at least one porous member to an external surface thereof. At least a portion of the liquid may then evaporate to provide a scent to the surrounding environment.
