A fragrance-dispensing system comprises a wick and diffuser, wherein the diffuser surface in contact with surrounding air is larger than the wick surface in contact with the air, a container for receiving the wick, and a fragrance preparation in the container, wherein the fragrance is transported by the wick to the diffuser by capillary action. Within the capillary flow path of the fragrant substance preparation through the wick and/or diffuser, at least one repository is provided, through which the fragrant substance preparation can flow and which has at least one dye that can be dissolved by the fragrant substance preparation.
