Perfume ingredients have been investigated and classified for their effectiveness in detaching biofilms from surfaces. Based on this classification, perfume compositions that are effective in assisting biofilm detachment can be formulated, whilst also allowing a degree of freedom in formulation that permits consideration of the hedonic properties of the composition. The compositions can be used in a wide range of perfumed consumer products, such as personal, domestic and industrial products, e.g. hard surface cleaning products, dental care products, and deodorant products.
An oil-in-water microemulsion including, in weight percentages: between 70% and 94% of water; between 1% and 15% of at least one perfumed hydrophobic substance; between 4% and 20% of at least one preferably volatile solvo-surfactant, which is a monoalkylated glycerol derivative of formula (I); and between 0.1% and 15% of at least one anionic surfactant and at least one alkyl glucoside as a hydrotropic agent. The microemulsion can therefore be used to produce a fine fragrance composition or a cosmetic or personal hygiene composition.
A deodorant composition comprises one or several phenolic compounds, at least enzyme capable of oxidizing the phenolic compound(s), and a flavor or fragrance. The flavor or fragrance meets the satisfaction criteria for freshness, cleanliness and pleasant feeling. The satisfaction criteria are expressed in terms of scores ranging from 0 to 100 points. Typically, the scores exceeding 50 points signify a satisfactory result. The preferred fragrances include citrus-type, fruit-type, floral-type, musk-type, wood-type, greenery-type, spice-type, herb-type and mint-type fragrance. By contrast, the preferred flavor include citrus-type, mint-type, fruit-type, vanilla-type, spice-type and floral-type flavor. The deodorant composition can be formulated with an appropriate carrier. The composition or the carrier-bearing composition can be applied to malodorous objects, human bodies or mammals.
The present invention relates to a composition having improved or enhanced fidelity and/or longevity of the fragrance profile, comprising fragrance materials in a diamond construction and at least one substantially non-odorous fragrance modulator. The invention also relates to methods of use of the compositions for perfuming suitable substrates, including hard surfaces and body parts, particularly skin and hair.
The present invention relates to a an absorbent article comprising a fragrance composition having improved or enhanced fidelity and/or longevity of the fragrance profile, comprising fragrance materials in a diamond construction and at least one substantially non-odorous fragrance modulator.
