1. A method of managing scent in an environment, the method comprising:
disposing at least one scent diffusion device within an environment, wherein the at least one scent diffusion device comprises a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a remote computer;
disposing at least one sensor within the environment, the at least one sensor being coupled to the communications facility of the at least one scent diffusion device;
providing at least one target value of a scent parameter for the environment, the scent parameter being a scent concentration factor associated with type of scent;
detecting scent concentration factor of the environment;
transmitting data associated with the detected scent concentration factor to the remote computer; and
controlling, via the remote computer, diffusion of a liquid from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with the at least one scent diffusion device to achieve the target value of the scent concentration factor.
