Solution Overview

Problem

Current fragrance mixtures struggle to effectively enhance natural freshness and charisma while masking fatty and metallic notes in green herbaceous and mint scents, lacking a comprehensive solution for odor profile enhancement.

Innovation Solution

Fragrance mixtures comprising compounds of the general formula (I) and additional fragrances with green, herbaceous, and minty notes, such as cantryl, peonile, and menthone, in specific ratios to create a balanced and intense scent with enhanced freshness and reduced metallic notes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If compounds of formula (I) are used to enhance natural freshness and charisma of green herbaceous and mint scents, then the natural freshness and radiance are improved, but fatty and metallic notes are not sufficiently masked

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenatural freshness and radianceVSAvoidfatty and metallic notes
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines compounds of formula (I) with specific green herbaceous and minty fragrances (cantryl, peonile, menthone, frescomenthe, isooctanone, tolylacetaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, cyclogalbanate, ethyl cinnamate) in defined ratios to create a synergistic fragrance mixture that simultaneously enhances natural freshness and masks fatty and metallic notes, resolving the contradiction between enhancement and masking capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite fragrance system by formulating specific combinations of compounds of formula (I) with multiple green herbaceous and minty fragrance components in optimized ratios (where the sum of ratios is 100%), resulting in a fragrance mixture with balanced olfactory properties that addresses both enhancement and masking requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Illumination intensity

If high concentration of fragrance components is used to achieve intense scent, then fragrance intensity is improved, but natural freshness may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefragrance intensityVSAvoidnatural freshness
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the concentration parameters by defining specific ratio ranges for compounds of formula (I) (0.01-50 wt%, preferably 0.1-10 wt%) and green herbaceous/minty fragrances (50-99.99 wt%, preferably 90-99.9 wt%), achieving high fragrance intensity while preserving natural freshness through balanced formulation rather than simple high concentration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The invention relates to fragrant mixtures comprising at least one compound of general formula (I), a method for producing claimed fragrant mixtures, particularly perfume oils, perfumed products containing the claimed fragrant mixture, and the use of the compound of general formula (I) to strengthen the natural freshness and/or emanation and/or to mask or reduce greasy and/or metallic notes of one or more fragrant substances that differ from the compound of formula (I).
