A fogger display unit can include a first deflector having an outer surface and an inner surface. The first deflector can have any shape forming a cavity, for example a hemispherical dome shape. The first deflector is positioned above a display case that includes one or more display decks on which consumer products are displayed. A fogger generates a fog that is exhausted towards the inner surface of the first deflector. The first deflector deflects the fog flow downward across the consumer products on the display deck. The fogger display unit can include a second deflector having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface of the second deflector is proximate the outer surface of the first deflector forming a channel therebetween. Air, forced through the channel by an air handler, flows downward as an air curtain about the periphery of the display case.
