Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an oral composition whose fragrance permeates the nose.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, oral compositions such as dentifrice compositions have been in increasing demand not only for removing oral dirt and preventing diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases but also as a means of enhancing emotional values such as feeling good and calm. Such emotional values are affected by the autonomic nervous system, and as methods of regulating the autonomic nervous system, for example, aromatherapy such as taking a deep breath or smelling citrus scents is known.

[0003] In addition, oral compositions generally contain cooling agents such as menthol, camphor, and cineole. It is considered that by feeling a cooling sensation and a feeling that the fragrance permeates the nose, the autonomic nervous system is stimulated and the emotional value is enhanced.

[0004] As technologies for enhancing the cooling sensation, oral compositions containing p-menthane-carboxamides (Patent Document 1), dentifrice compositions containing N-(4-cyanomethylphenyl)-2-isopropyl-5-methylsiloxane carboxamide (Patent Document 2), and technologies for imparting a cooling sensation by dissolving sugar alcohols (Patent Document 3) have been disclosed, but there is room for improvement in the feeling that the fragrance permeates the nose.
