 前記香発生基材の形状としては、特に制限はなく、目的に応じて適宜選択することができる。前記香発生基材の形状としては、例えば、球形状、不定形の粉末状、扁平のシート形状、棒状などが挙げられる。これらの中でも、扁平のシート形状が好ましい。扁平のシート形状としては、平坦な表面を有していれば特に制限はなく、例えば、平面視したときの形状が長方形となる短冊形状、平面視したときの形状が正方形となる形状などが挙げられる。これらの中でも、短冊形状がより好ましい。
 前記香発生基材の形状が短冊形状である場合、長尺方向に垂直な断面の長軸の長さと短軸の長さとのアスペクト比が1:1~30:1であり、長尺方向の長さと短軸の長さとのアスペクト比が40:1~3600:1であること好ましい。特に、上記長軸の長さと短軸の長さとのアスペクト比は、2:1~20:1であることが好ましく、5:1~20:1であることがより好ましい。

 また、長軸の長さと短軸の長さとのアスペクト比が1:1の場合、製造条件によっては、香発生体が、最密充填構造のように配列してしまう場合もある。
 前記香発生基材の長尺方向に垂直な断面の形状は、等方性の、正三角形、正方形、及び、正五角形等の正多角形、並びに、円形であっても問題はないが、異形気体流路を形成する上では、短軸と長軸を有する長方形及び楕円形等であることがより好ましく、略長方形であることがより好ましい。

When the shape of the scent-generating substrate is a rectangular shape, the aspect ratio of the length of the major axis of the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the length of the minor axis is 1:1 to 30:1. It is preferred that the aspect ratio between the length and the length of the minor axis is from 40:1 to 3600:1. In particular, the aspect ratio between the major axis length and the minor axis length is preferably 2:1 to 20:1, more preferably 5:1 to 20:1.
The aspect ratio has a close relationship with the mobility when the scent-generating substrates arranged in the longitudinal direction are formed into a columnar shape so as to wrap them in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. It is possible to increase the filling rate while ensuring. Therefore, the aspect ratio between the length of the major axis and the length of the minor axis of the section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction exceeds 30:1, and the aspect ratio between the length of the longitudinal direction and the length of the minor axis exceeds 3600:1. As a result, the frequency of contact of the scent-generating body with the surface in the long axis direction increases, and the mobility is extremely lowered, making it difficult to form primary aggregates and secondary aggregates.
Further, when the aspect ratio of the length of the major axis to the length of the minor axis is 1:1, depending on the manufacturing conditions, the scent-generating bodies may be arranged like a close-packed structure.
The shape of the cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the scent-generating base material may be an isotropic regular polygon such as an equilateral triangle, square, and regular pentagon, or a circle, but there is no problem. In order to form the gas flow path, it is more preferable to have a rectangular or elliptical shape having a short axis and a long axis, and a substantially rectangular shape is more preferable.
