Carvomenthone Perfume Oil Mixtures for Targeted Note Enhancement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for perfume oils that can enhance or alter the olfactory profile of fragrances by boosting specific notes such as musk, marine, geranium, green, and dry orris effects, while maintaining a complex fragrance composition with minimal changes.
Innovation Solution
A perfume oil mixture comprising carvomenthone, at least one additional fragrance, and optionally a cosmetically acceptable carrier, where carvomenthone is added in small quantities to alter the olfactory impression of fragrances, enhancing or boosting specific notes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If carvomenthone is added in small quantities to a fragrance composition, then the olfactory profile is enhanced and specific notes are boosted, but the complexity of the fragrance composition increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing carvomenthone at specifically optimized concentration levels (0.01-5% of the total fragrance composition) to transform the olfactory profile. This parameter optimization allows enhancement of specific notes (musk, marine, geranium, green, orris) while controlling the overall complexity through precise concentration management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite fragrance material by combining carvomenthone with existing fragrance components. This composite approach allows the new compound to interact synergistically with existing ingredients, enhancing specific olfactory notes while maintaining the overall structure of the fragrance composition.
2Adaptability or versatility
If carvomenthone is added to alter the key note of a fragrance, then the olfactory impression is changed significantly, but the amount of carvomenthone required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent demonstrates parameter changes by achieving significant olfactory note alterations at very low concentrations of carvomenthone (0.01-5% of total composition). The compound's high olfactory activity allows substantial fragrance modification without requiring large quantities, as the compound acts as a potent modifier of key notes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses carvomenthone as a fragrance modifier that copies and enhances existing olfactory characteristics. By adding this compound, the fragrance composition achieves enhanced versions of desired notes (musk, marine, geranium, etc.) without needing to completely reformulate the entire composition.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the fragrance composition is modified to boost specific notes, then the olfactory profile is improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent simplifies the manufacturing process by focusing on parameter changes - specifically, the addition of carvomenthone at controlled concentrations (0.01-5% of total composition). This approach allows fragrance profile improvement through a single additive step rather than requiring complex multi-component reformulation processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies segmentation by separating the fragrance modification function into a distinct component - carvomenthone - that can be added independently to existing fragrance compositions. This segmentation allows the base fragrance to be manufactured first, then enhanced by adding the specific modifier compound, simplifying the overall manufacturing process.
