Solution Overview

Problem

There is a demand for new scents in floral perfumes and compounded perfumes to enhance the value of fragrance products, cosmetics, and other applications, but existing aldehydes do not provide a floral and green-like scent with a fresh marine feeling.

Innovation Solution

The development of an aldehyde composition containing specific aldehydes, such as 3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal and 3-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal, in a mass ratio of 96/4 to 99.97/0.03, which provides a floral and green-like scent with a fresh marine feeling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing aldehydes are used as perfume raw materials, then conventional floral scents are achieved, but a fresh marine feeling with green-like characteristics cannot be obtained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescent characteristicsVSAvoidfresh marine feeling
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention combines two different aldehydes (3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal and 3-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal) in specific mass ratios to create a composite fragrance composition. This composite approach allows the synergistic interaction between the two aldehydes to produce the novel fresh marine feeling with green-like characteristics that neither aldehyde can achieve alone, thereby resolving the contradiction between conventional scent profiles and the desired novel fragrance characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The invention optimizes the mass ratio parameters of the two aldehydes (specifically from 96/4 to 99.97/0.03) to achieve the target fragrance profile. By precisely controlling these compositional parameters, the invention transforms the scent characteristics to produce the desired fresh marine feeling with green-like notes, overcoming the limitations of existing single aldehyde formulations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If new aldehyde compositions are developed to provide novel scents, then fresh marine feeling is achieved, but formulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenovel scent profileVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts and utilizes only the essential fragrance-contributing components (two specific aldehydes) in optimized ratios, eliminating the need for complex multi-component formulations. This extraction approach achieves the novel fresh marine scent while maintaining formulation simplicity, as the scent characteristics are primarily determined by this specific binary combination rather than requiring numerous additional ingredients.
