a vent frame;
a vent grate;
a scent dispenser;
a filter-receiving bracket;
a wall frame;
a replaceable air filter;
a replaceable scent cartridge;
at least one pin-lock mechanism;
the vent frame and the wall frame each comprising a proximal frame face, a distal frame face, an inner frame surface, and an outer frame surface;
