I worked with this company: http://www.scentevents.com/ when I was at
the Spy Museum. The main guy, Neal Harris, was easy to work with and
he created customized scents for us in a scent shooter that didn't
involve sending lots of particles into the air (it was functionally a
dipped wax canister attached to a controllable fan). We did both a
"middle eastern market" and a "rat infested tunnel." Both were
excellent, and $250 per canister for about a year's supply. He's
based in LA.
