Description

[0001] Fragrance Composition

[0002] The present invention relates to a fragrance composition evoking feelings of sensuality, to a consumer product comprising such a fragrance composition, and to the use of the fragrance composition for improving the perceived sensuality of a human subject.

[0003] Perfumery has been widely employed by consumer product companies in order to impart to their products pleasant, well-liked odours that promote consumer liking and which influence purchasing decisions for this reason.

[0004] However, in an increasingly competitive marketplace, mere liking is often not sufficient to differentiate one brand over its competitors. Accordingly, in the market execution of their products, consumer product companies frequently refer to wide-ranging product benefits, typically communicated through diverse advertising campaigns, as well as on the packaging and labelling of their products, which together form an important part of their branding strategy. New differentiating effects are constantly sought, and perfumery has often been employed as a means to achieve those effects. For example, perfumery has been employed to create real or perceived functional effects that may relate to cosmetic effects, hygiene effects, malodour-counteracting effects, and the like.

[0005] Fragrance has also been shown to affect mood states, such as imparting feelings of relaxation, happiness, invigoration, or general well-being (see e.g. WO 2022 / 234149, WO 2022 / 234150, WO 2022 / 234151 , or WO 2020 / 165463).

[0006] Judgments people make about one another may be formed very quickly. For example, a person’s appearance may be judged at first sight, and may play an important role in how people perceive personality, and perhaps even intelligence. Furthermore, these “first impressions” may even have a lasting effect on how one person perceives another, sometimes to the detriment of relationships between people.

[0007] People often use fragrances to enhance their confidence and attractiveness. In general, people smelling nice are perceived as more attractive, while people emanating an unpleasant smell (e.g. of sweat) tend to be perceived as less attractive.

[0008] There are several shades of attraction, ranging from mere sympathy and familiarity to aesthetic appeal and desirability to sexual attraction or sensuality.

[0009] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025 The term “sensuality” may more generally be defined as “the enjoyment, expression, or pursuit of physical, especially sexual, pleasure.”

[0010] Sensuality is also distinct from pure femininity or masculinity, in so far as sensuality is not specifically related to gender.

[0011] Sensuality encompasses both the embodiment and indulgence of the physical senses. A key element of sensuality is slowing down and being aware of our physical sensations, making it broader than and distinct from sexuality. Sensuality adds a further dimension to feeling attractive, as the act of slowing down and being aware of the senses may enhance the connectivity with sexuality. Feelings of sensuality are often associated with words such as charmed, romantic, desire, sexy, and erotic.

[0012] The importance of perceived sensuality, particularly in consumer-driven societies, has resulted in attempts to produce products and techniques for the enhancement of beauty, and, in particular, sensuality. However, very little, if any, attention has been given to fragranced products, such as perfume compositions, which may enhance how a person’s sensuality is perceived by themselves and / or others.

[0013] The present invention addresses this gap. By conducting extensive studies using explicit and implicit methods of assessing the feelings evoked by a fragrance composition or by a person wearing such fragrance composition, the present inventors have been able to identify key factors contributing to an increased perception of sensuality.

[0014] Therefore, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a fragrance composition evoking feelings of sensuality.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a consumer product comprising the fragrance composition of the invention.

[0016] In a third aspect, the present invention relates to the use of the fragrance composition or consumer product for improving the perceived sensuality of a human subject.

[0017] The fragrance composition of the invention comprises at least 4 wt% of one or more fragrance ingredients having a “sweet” odour attribute, at least 4 wt% of one or more fragrance ingredients having a “musky” odour attribute, less than 6 wt% of one or more fragrance ingredients having a “citrus” odour attribute, and

[0018] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025 less than 0.6 wt% of one or more fragrance ingredients having a “green” odour attribute.

[0019] Furthermore, the weight ratio of fragrance ingredients having a “sweet” odour attribute to fragrance ingredients having a “musky” odour attribute is between about 3:10 and about 2:1.

[0020] Surprisingly, it has been found that fragrance compositions complying with the above rules are able to evoke feelings of sensuality.

[0021] At the same time, these fragrance compositions are hedonically pleasant and well-liked by the people assessing them.

[0022] Throughout this application, the terms “fragrance” and “perfume” are used interchangeably, unless otherwise noted.

[0023] Furthermore, also the terms “(fragrance) ingredient” and “(fragrance) material” are used interchangeably. In the context of the present invention, the term “fragrance ingredient” refers to an ingredient that has the function of providing a noticeable and identifiable odour to the fragrance composition. Fragrance ingredients include highly performing ingredients intended for providing an intense olfactive impression, as well as less performing ingredients intended for providing a subtle olfactive impression.

[0024] The term “fragrance composition” relates to a mixture of two or more fragrance ingredients. It may optionally include one or more odourless or low-odour solvents and / or diluents, e.g. as a vehicle for a fragrance material.

[0025] Throughout this application, the terms “(human) test subjects” and “participants” are used interchangeably, unless otherwise noted.

[0026] Throughout this application, the terms “humans”, “human subjects”, “persons” and “people” are used interchangeably, unless otherwise noted.

[0027] Where trivial names are used to describe useful perfume ingredients herein, the skilled perfumer will understand that these are commonly used names in the art of perfumery. However, the skilled perfumer would also understand that these ingredients may also be known by other trivial synonyms, by CAS registry numbers, or by more formal nomenclature, such as IUPAC nomenclature. Furthermore, the skilled perfumer would be familiar with these other trivial synonyms, as well as with more formal nomenclature, or at the least, would be aware of standard reference works, such as The Good Scents Company website, which contains a comprehensive

[0028] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025 list of trivial names, registry numbers and more formal nomenclature for the perfume ingredients contained in the perfumers’ palette.

[0029] Perfume compositions and individual perfume ingredients may be characterized by their odour attributes. Although perfume creation is part science and part artistry, and there is no absolute prescribed definition for odour attributes of perfume compositions and perfume ingredients, nevertheless trained perfumers, realizing that there will be margin for some subjectivity, will be able to assign perfume compositions and ingredients to a general odour descriptor and an odour family.

[0030] Odour families or odour attributes provide a general description of an odour space, and their number is usually limited. Hence, most of the ingredients used in perfumery and particularly useful in the context of the present invention may be described by a small set of odour families selected from the group consisting of “aldehydic", “ambery", “animalic", “aromatic / herbal", “citrus", “earthy”, “floral", “fruity", “green", “musky", “roasted”, “spicy", “sweet", “watery", and “woody".

[0031] Throughout this application, the terms “odour family” and “odour attribute” are used interchangeably, unless otherwise noted.

[0032] This selection of odour families allows the skilled perfumer to characterize the odour of all perfume ingredients contained in the perfumer’s palette. Nevertheless, for the trained perfumer, reading the contents of this specification as a whole together with their common general knowledge, it would not present undue burden to modify part or all of this vocabulary around which there is subjectivity, and such modification would not impact the selection of perfume ingredients useful to positively impact the perception of sensuality.

[0033] Fragrance ingredients having a “sweet” odour attribute are often considered to cover rich, warm, creamy, and light aromas. Sweet tonalities include, for example, almond, balsam, butter, cocoa, cooked sugar, heliotrope, milk cream, molasses, tonka, or vanilla.

[0034] Musk is known for its deep, warm, and earthy aroma. The musk scent description is often described as animalistic and sensual, with an almost primal appeal. This distinctive aroma comes from the base notes of the perfume, which provide a lasting foundation for the fragrance. Musk's unique scent can vary, from slightly sweet to spicy, depending on its source and how it is blended with other fragrance notes. Musky tonalities include, for example, musk or musk tonkin.

[0035] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025 Citrus fragrances are often thought of as fresh and zesty smells that include fruits like lemon, lime, blood orange, mandarin orange, pomelo, and bergamot, for example. A citrus odour may refer to a natural type such as orange, lemon, grapefruit, lime, bergamot, mandarin, tangerine, or even citronella, which is not a citrus fruit but fits into this odour category. The dominant note may be juicy, bitter, sulfurous, peely, or even hesperidic or hesperidian - a term that implies freshness and sparkle, as opposed to mere fruitiness.

[0036] “Green” is used to describe a fresh, light, cool or sharp odour. It is a fragrance reminiscent of crushed green leaves, cucumber, cut green capsicum or fresh peas in the pod. Essential oils that have a prominent green note include, for example, violet leaf, galbanum, geranium and many herbal or mint scented oils. A green scent is also often ascribed to freshly cut grass, young stems, conifer trees or absinthe. Green tonalities include, for example, cucumber, galbanum, grass, leaf, metallic, rhubarb, or violet.

[0037] Throughout this application, the term “oil” is meant to encompass fully natural essential oils and extracts, as well as oils derived from natural essential oils and extracts, and modified essential oils and extracts that may comprise additional ingredients; irrespective of the extraction method. The term "oil" is meant to further also encompass any reconstitution or mixture of ingredients that provides a similar odour impression to the corresponding essential oil.

[0038] In the above formulation guidelines, all percentages are based on total weight of all ingredients constituting the fragrance composition, including solvents, diluents and other odourless vehicles.

[0039] The fragrance composition of the invention may further comprise up to 92% of other fragrance ingredients, which are not specified herein as being members of any of the above groups, including odourless or low-odour solvents or diluents, as noted above. They may be single ingredients or mixtures, both synthetic and natural (for example essential oils), and are well described e.g. in: “Common Fragrance and Flavor Materials” by Bauer, Garbe and Surburg, VCH Publ., 2ndedition (1990), and “Perfume and Flavour Materials”, Steffen Arctander, published in two volumes by the author (1969), also by Arctander “Perfume and Flavor Materials of Natural Origin” (1960), and Perfume & Flavor Chemicals", S. Arctander (Allured Publishing, 1994), as well as later editions of this work, which perfume ingredients contained therein are herein incorporated by reference.

[0040] Perfume compositions of the present invention may further contain substantially odourless ingredients. In the context of the present invention, “substantially odourless” means that the ingredient has no odour or that its odour is weak and often barely perceptible. These substantially

[0041] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025 odourless ingredients include excipients conventionally used in conjunction with perfume ingredients in perfume compositions, for example carrier materials, and other auxiliary agents commonly used in the art, e.g. solvents, such as dipropylene glycol (DPG), isopropyl myristate (I PM), benzyl benzoate (BB), propylene glycol (PG) and triethyl citrate (TEC); mineral oils and vegetable oils; and antioxidants.

[0042] The above definition of the fragrance compositions of the present invention provides sufficient freedom in formulation to permit consideration of the hedonic properties of the composition. The invention can thus enable formulation of fragrance compositions that evoke feelings of sensuality and also have good hedonic properties.

[0043] In the fragrance composition of the invention, the one or more fragrance ingredients having a “sweet” odour attribute may typically be used at concentration of up to about 40 wt%.

[0044] In an embodiment, the fragrance composition comprises 4 wt% to 40 wt% of the one or more fragrance ingredients having a “sweet” odour attribute, more preferably 5 wt% to 30 wt%, and most preferably 6 wt% to 20 wt%.

[0045] It has been found that these are the preferred ranges for fragrance compositions that are both hedonically pleasant and evokes feelings of sensuality.

[0046] In the fragrance composition of the invention, the one or more fragrance ingredients having a “musky” odour attribute may typically be used at concentration of up to about 75 wt%.

[0047] In an embodiment, the fragrance composition comprises 4 wt% to 70 wt% of the one or more fragrance ingredients having a “musky” odour attribute, more preferably 7 wt% to 60 wt%, and most preferably 10 wt% to 50 wt%. Most preferably, it comprises about 9 wt% to about 16 wt% of the one or more fragrance ingredients having a “musky” odour attribute.

[0048] It has been found that these are the preferred ranges for fragrance compositions that are both hedonically pleasant and evokes feelings of sensuality.

[0049] In an embodiment, the fragrance composition comprises less than 5 wt% of one or more fragrance ingredients having a “citrus” odour attribute, more preferably less than 4 wt%, still more preferably less than 3 wt%, even more preferably less than 2 wt%, and most preferably less than 1 wt%.

[0050] It has been found that these are the preferred ranges for fragrance compositions that are both hedonically pleasant and evokes feelings of sensuality.

[0051] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025 In an embodiment, the fragrance composition comprises comprising less than 0.5 wt% of one or more fragrance ingredients having a “green” odour attribute, more preferably less than 0.4 wt%, still more preferably less than 0.3 wt%, even more preferably less than 0.2 wt%, and most preferably less than 0.1 wt%.

[0052] It has been found that these are the preferred ranges for fragrance compositions that are both hedonically pleasant and evokes feelings of sensuality.

[0053] In the fragrance compositions of the invention, any fragrance ingredients having a “sweet” odour attribute may generally be used, as long as they are used in the indicated concentrations.

[0070] In order to further enhance the sensuality, the weight ratio of fragrance ingredients having a “sweet” odour attribute to fragrance ingredients having a “musky” odour attribute may be further restricted.

[0071] In an embodiment, the weight ratio of fragrance ingredients having a “sweet” odour attribute to fragrance ingredients having a “musky” odour attribute is between about 1 :2 and about 3:2, more preferably about 1 :1.

[0072] The perfume compositions of the present invention may be presented in the form of free-oil, or they may be encapsulated. Several encapsulating media are known in the art for encapsulating perfume compositions. Particular encapsulating media include microcapsules formed of aminoplast resins, such as melamine-formaldehyde resins, polyurea, polyamide, as well as copolymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and their esters. Alternatively, the encapsulating media may be formed of natural or modified natural polymers, such as polysaccharides or proteins.

[0073] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025 In an embodiment, one or more of the fragrance ingredients, preferably all fragrance ingredients, is / are encapsulated.

[0074] The fragrance composition of the invention may be used in a consumer product in order to enhance its smell.

[0075] Therefore, the present invention also provides a consumer product comprising the fragrance composition of the invention.

[0076] The perfume compositions of the present invention may be used to impart desirable odour impressions on all manner of consumer products, such as for instance perfumes, deodorants, antiperspirants, skin care products, hair care products, laundry care products, or air fresheners.

[0077] More particularly, the perfume compositions of the present invention may be employed in consumer products that are intended for application to the human body.

[0078] Consumer products comprise formulated mixtures of various functional ingredients, such as surfactants, emulsifiers, polymers, fillers and solvents. These formulated mixtures are usually referred to as “bases”.

[0079] Particular consumer products include, but are not limited to consumer products intended for application to the body (i.e. skin or hair), to fabrics, and for air care benefits (e.g. air-fresheners). Such products can take a variety of forms, including, but not limited, to powders, bars, sticks, tablets, creams, mousses, gels, liquids, sprays and sheets. The proportion of perfume composition contained in such products may lie in a range from 0.05% (as for example in a low odour skin cream) to 100 wt.-% (as for example in an air freshener) based on the total weight of the consumer product. The means of incorporating a perfume composition into a consumer product is known. Existing techniques may be used for incorporating the perfume composition directly into a product, or the perfume composition may be absorbed on a carrier material and then admixed to the product.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present invention, the consumer product is a laundry care product. Laundry care products include powder and liquid detergents and fabric softeners, stain removers and pre-wash treatments, conditioners and softeners (including standard and concentrated conditioners, softeners and dryer sheets), laundry aids (including stain removers, ironing aids, whiteners and colour care products and other ancillary fabric care products), laundry detergents (including machine wash liquid detergents, other machine wash detergents - including powders,

[0081] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025 capsules and tablets - and hand wash detergents - powders, flakes and cakes / bars), sheet sprays, clothing sprays, laundry perfumes, dryer sachets, perfumed sachets, dryer sheets, laundry soap, laundry detergents, detergent for delicate textiles, ironing sprays, starch, perfume sheets, pillow mists, drawer liner sheets, cedar closet sprays, linen waters, and refills and combinations thereof.

[0082] In an embodiment of the invention, the consumer product is a personal care product. Personal care products include soaps, shower gels, body creams, body lotions, body mists, perfumery, cosmetics, floating bath oils, after shaves, creams, lotions, deodorants (including stick deodorants), pre-electric shave lotions, after-shave lotions, antiperspirants, shampoos, conditioners, rinses, skin care products, eye makeups, body shampoos, protective skin formulations, lipsticks, lip glosses, after-bath splashes, pre-sun and sun products (including sunscreens). Virtually any chemical product which comes into contact with the hair or skin and which may include effective amounts, concentrations or proportions of one or more of the perfume compositions of the present invention may be considered a personal care product according to the present invention.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present invention, the consumer product is an air care product. Air care products include candles and air-freshener devices, such as liquid electrical air-freshener devices, aerosol sprays, pump action sprays, perfumed candles, membrane permeation devices, liquid wick devices, oil based gel perfumes, and aqueous gels.

[0084] In an embodiment, the consumer product of the invention is intended for application to a human subject’s body, more preferably wherein the consumer product is select from the group consisting of a perfume, an extrait, an eau de perfume, an eau de toilette, an eau de cologne, an aftershave, a cologne, an eau fraiche, a spritzer, a body spray, a deodorant, an antiperspirant, a shower gel, a shampoo, a skin cream, and a body lotion.

[0085] The present invention also relates to the use of the fragrance composition or the consumer product of the invention for improving the perceived sensuality of a human subject.

[0086] This may be achieved by applying the fragrance composition or consumer product to the human subject’s body.

[0087] Alternatively, the fragrance composition or consumer product may also be applied to clothes and other fabrics, or directly emitted into the air.

[0088] The present invention is further illustrated by means of the following non-limiting examples:

[0089] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025 Example 1 : Sensual Fragrance Testing

[0090] Task

[0091] G-Evocations™ is a self-report nonverbal method using a board of images, pre-validated by consumers to represent concepts such as sensuality (Figure 1), refreshing (Figure 2), sophistication (Figure 3) and femininity (Figure 4) so they can be used by consumers to measure their associations of the fragrances to the concepts.

[0092] This method allows participants to express what they feel in response to smelling a fragrance by rating the fragrances against each concept using a linear scale.

[0093] Participants smelled a series of sorbarods and, while smelling each one, they rated how much the fragrance was associated to each concept using the linear scale, zero to one hundred. The concept image boards were displayed on tablets. The fragrances and image boards were fully randomised for each fragrance and each participant.

[0094] The fragrances were presented on sorbarods. A sorbarod is a small plastic pot with a lid, containing a polyester absorbent fibre insert (typically 10 mm diameter, 30 mm length) which is encased in a polyethylene sleeve. The fragrance can be applied to the insert, which provides continuous refreshment of the fragrance over several assessments, and can be easily perceived when held close to the nose to smell.

[0095] Participants

[0096] In total, one hundred and twelve female adults were asked to participate in a study in Brazil and forty-nine female adults were asked to participate in a study in the United Kingdom.

[0097] Validation of Image Boards

[0098] The image boards for each concept - Sensuality, Sophistication, Femininity and Refreshing - were evaluated by women in Brazil and the UK. Mean scores were collected for each image board and each concept. An analysis of variance was conducted (ANOVA), confirming that the women rated each board highly against its respective concept. Similar results were seen for both Brazil and UK.

[0099] ANOVA tables for Brazil and UK mean score ratings for correlation of image boards to concepts:

[0100] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025

[0101] "Means followed by a different letter are significantly different at p < 0.05 (Fisher (LSD))".

[0102] Statistical Analysis - Pearson’s Correlation

[0103] A Pearson’s Correlation analysis is a statistical measure between two variables. It evaluates the magnitude and direction of the relationship between the two variables - in the present case between the fragrances and the concepts. The coefficient’s value ranges from +1 (perfect positive correlation) to -1 (perfect negative correlation), with 0 indicating no correlation.

[0104] Example 2: Compositions Tested

[0105] Compositions A through K were subjected to G-Evocations testing. Among these, Compositions A, B, F, and J are fragrance compositions according to the present invention, while Compositions C, D, E, G, H, I and K are comparative examples.

[0106] Ingredients contained in these compositions are specified in the table below.

[0125] Example 3: Results of G-Evocations Testing Brazil

[0126] A G-Evocations study as described in Example 1 was conducted on all fragrance compositions described in Example 2. The fragrances were classified in advance by experts into those thought to be sensual and those not thought to be sensual (“expert prediction”).

[0127] The following table shows the results for the fragrance compositions that were tested in comparison to the experts’ prediction.

[0128] A positive Pearson Correlation coefficient indicated that the fragrance composition was correlated to the “Sensual” picture board (Figure 1) and thus considered to evoke sensuality, whereas a negative correlation indicated that the fragrance composition did not correlate with the sensual picture board and was not considered sensual.

[0129] It can be seen from the table above that Compositions A, B, F and J correlated with sensuality, whereas the other compositions did not correlate. The table also shows that the expert evaluators only correctly predicted whether a composition would be classed as sensual or not in 5 of 11 occasions, surprisingly indicating that the sensuality evoking potential of a fragrance composition cannot be predicted accurately from olfactive assessment only.

[0130] Example 4: Results of G-Evocations Testing United Kingdom

[0131] A G-Evocations™ study as described in Example 1 was conducted on four of the fragrance compositions described in Example 2 (compositions A, B, C and D, which were also used in Example 3). The fragrances were classified in advance by experts into those thought to be sensual and those not thought to be sensual (“expert prediction”).

[0132] 30920 PCT / 19.12.2025 The following table shows the results for the fragrance compositions that were tested in comparison to the experts’ prediction.

[0133] A positive Pearson Correlation coefficient indicated that the fragrance composition was correlated to the “Sensual” picture board (Figure 1) and thus considered to evoke sensuality, whereas a negative correlation indicated that the fragrance composition did not correlate with the sensual picture board and was not considered sensual.

[0134] It can be seen from the table above that Compositions A and B correlated with sensuality, whereas the compositions C and D did not correlate.
