An atomizer is provided for dispensing liquids into the air. In some implementations, a device is provided for generating atomized fluid specifically, but not exclusively, for production of small droplets of scented oil and other fluid-based fragrances, among other types of liquids. In some embodiments, the device comprises a tube-shaped element having a proximal opening and a distal opening, wherein media positioned inside the tube is forced out of the proximal opening via an aperture plate.
