Nasal dilators and strips, methods of their manufacture, and methods for improving
the breathing of individuals are provided. The strips and dilators include an elongated
substrate, with or without a dilating component or portion, having top and bottom
surfaces and a pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on the bottom surface. The
dilator is designed to provide a gentle expanding force to the nasal wall tissue
when the dilator is adhesively attached to the nose. This invention further includes
a cosmetic fragrance, an aromatic medication and/or transdermal medication disposed
on the strips or dilators. In order to improve the shelf-life and in-use olfactory
effectiveness of such products, fragrance delivery mechanisms are used. Separation
of volatile oils and adhesives are also provided to minimize adhesive residue.
