A composition comprising:(a) a fragrance oil wherein the fragrance oil comprises greater than 0.5% of a top note perfume raw material, or mixture of top note perfume raw materials, with a boiling point of less than, or equal to, 250° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure;(b) an entrapment material which is selected from the group consisting of polymers; capsules, microcapsules and nanocapsules; liposomes; film formers; absorbents; cyclic oligosaccharides and mixtures thereof;(c) greater than 50% volatile solvent;wherein the perfume raw material and the entrapment material exist in an associated form on the substrate and wherein the weight ratio of the top note perfume raw material to the entrapment material within the associated form is in the range from about 1:20 to about 20:1.The present invention provides compositions wherein the light, fresh, fruity, citrus, green or delicate floral top note fragrance character remains detectable for greater than about 2 hours, preferably greater than about 4 hours, more preferably greater than about 6 hours, after the composition has been applied to the substrate.

A composition comprising: (a) a fragrance oil comprising: (i) top note perfume raw material, or mixture of perfume raw materials, with a boiling point of less than, or equal to, about 250° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure; (ii) middle or base note perfume raw material, or mixture of perfume raw materials, with a boiling point of greater than 250° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure; (b) an entrapment material which is selected from the group consisting of polymers; capsules, microcapsules and nanocapsules; liposomes; pro-perfumes selected from more than 1 type of pro-chemistry; film formers; absorbents; cyclic oligosaccharides and mixtures thereof; (c) greater than 50% volatile solvent; wherein the weight ratio of the top note perfume raw materials to middle or base note perfume raw materials within the fragrance oil is in the range from about 1:20 to about 20:1. The present invention provides compositions wherein the light, fresh, fruity, citrus, green or delicate floral top note fragrance character remains detectable for greater than about 2 hours, preferably greater than about 4 hours, more preferably greater than about 6 hours, after the composition has been applied to the substrate.

The invention provides a method for improving release, on a surface, of a fragrance from an entrapment structure of at least one fragrance oil and at least one entrapment material. The method destabilizes the entrapment structure by providing at least one trigger molecule which preferentially associates with the entrapment material; and / or at least one release agent which at least partially disrupts the entrapment structure.The invention also provides a composition for improving release of a fragrance from a surface. The composition comprises at least one fragrance oil; at least one entrapment material, the at least one fragrance oil and the at least one entrapment material being capable, in use, of forming an entrapment structure on the surface. The composition also comprises at least one destabilizing material, which permits formation of the entrapment structure on the surface but which destabilizing material can, in use, destabilize the entrapment structure by providing at least one trigger molecule which preferentially associates with the entrapment material; and / or at least one release agent which partially disrupts the entrapment structure; and at least one compatible solvent which doesn't interfere with the formation of the entrapment structure on the surface.The present methods and compositions can improve fragrance perception, by overcoming the differences in fragrance perception that result from different surface, for example, skin, hydration levels and / or different surface types.

The present invention provides a method of applying a fragrance to a surface such as skin and / or hair. The method comprises applying to one area of the surface a first composition wherein the first composition comprises at least one first fragrance oil; at least one first cyclic oligosaccharide, wherein the at least one first fragrance oil and the at least one first cyclic oligosaccharide form a complex, which complex is dissolved or dispersed in the first composition; and a first solvent, wherein the first solvent has a dielectric constant at 25° C. of greater than or equal to 43. The method also comprises simultaneously or sequentially, in either order, applying to the one area or an area adjacent thereto a second composition wherein the second composition comprises at least one second fragrance oil; and a second solvent wherein the at least one second fragrance oil is soluble or is dispersed at 25° C. in the second solvent.

Fabric softening compositions are disclosed comprising:(a) from 0.01% to 50% by weight of a cationic or non-ionic softening compound; (b) at least 0.001% by weight of a water dispersible cross-linked cationic polymer derived from the polymerization of from 5 to 100 mole percent of a cationic vinyl addition monomer, from 0 to 95 mole percent of acrylamide, and from 5 to 500 ppm of a difunctional vinyl addition monomer cross-linking agent (c) from 0 to 5% by weight of a non-confined fragrance oil, (d) an effective amount of at least one fabric or skin beneficiating ingredient encapsulated within a first polymer material to form a polymer encapsulated beneficiating ingredient, said encapsulated ingredient being further coated with a cationic polymer and; (e) balance water and optionally one or more adjuvant materials.
