1. A volatile material dispenser, comprising:
a base that houses a printed circuit board;
a stand assembly that is coupled with the base, the stand assembly including:
a platform defining a front portion and a rear portion,
a stand that is disposed above and on the platform,
a manifold that is disposed at an upper end of the stand and defines an outer side surface and has a plurality of radially spaced ribs that extend from the manifold, and
a piezoelectric assembly disposed within the manifold; and
a cover that is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the base, the cover defining a chimney that defines a longitudinal axis,
wherein each rib of the plurality of radially spaced ribs is an elongate rib that extends downward and away from the chimney, and
wherein the longitudinal axis defined by the chimney extends through the piezoelectric assembly.
