Help finding atomizer on 2014 S550

I honestly tried searching the web and MB World for the answer but don't see any detail. I assume my 2014 has a bottle long-since empty of any fragrance. I see the diffuser is turned on so I need to access and refill a bottle but don't see any trap door in the glove box, which is where I assume this is located. TIA for any insights.

If you open the glove Box and it is not immediately recognizable then you likely don't have the unit installed.... Although I thought it was standard on the S class

P.S. That little Plastic circle in front on the left will allow you to pump air from the AC into the glove box to keep your M&M's from melting. Just turn the Dial.....

Me too. But there's nothing in that left side of the glove box. I thought there may be a hidden door covering it but also don't see anything obvious.

Thanks Konigstiger. I'll check when finish working. Didn't realize it was an option, which likely explains everything!

That's the scent diffuser . You need to get the bottle of scent and slip it into the diffuser. Bottles are generally available on e bay, full or empty (fill with your own choice of scent) or from the dealer.
