However, it differs in the arrangement of the components of the part A, distributed between three sectional walls of the part A. Moreover, and according to a preferred version of the invention, the device comprises a pair of exhaust fans of air [22]. This has the advantage of increasing the effectiveness of the device by creating a depression in front of the user's face ( Figure 14). As before, the air flow created bears the olfactory molecules contained in the chamber / collector which releases the olfactory molecules closer to the nasal apparatus of the client, collaborator or patient.
