The present invention encompasses a lavatory bowl rim-block comprising : a) a container holding a liquid, perfume-containing composition; b) a dispensing means for dispensing said composition from under the rim of a lavatory bowl; and c) a fragrance delivery component. The fragrance delivery component does not dispense the fragrance using the dispensing means and delivers the fragrance into the ambiance over a prolonged period of time, whereas the dispensing means deliver fragrance from the perfume-containing composition only when flushing Thus, a combination of ongoing perfume delivery with a perfume boost upon flushing can be obtained. L'invention concerne un bloc pour cuvette de W.C. comprenant : (a) un conteneur contenant une composition liquide à base de parfum ; (b) un moyen de distribution servant à distribuer ladite composition à partir du dessous du rebord de la cuvette de W.C. ; et (c) un élément de libération de parfum. Cet élément de libération de parfum ne distribue pas de parfum par le moyen de distribution, et libère le parfum dans l'air ambiant pendant une période de temps prolongée. Le moyen de distribution, quant à lui, libère du parfum de la composition à base de parfum uniquement lorsque la chasse d'eau est tirée. L'invention permet donc de combiner une libération continue de parfum et une libération ponctuelle, déclenchée par la chasse d'eau.
