Perfume Composition Sleep Quality Sandman Classifier
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current fragrance compositions lack a reliable and objective method to select combinations of perfume ingredients that are both hedonically performant and sophisticated, while effectively promoting sleep quality, as existing studies mainly focus on single ingredients or basic combinations.
Innovation Solution
Development of a perfume composition using a Sandman Classifier (SC) value formula based on EEG measurements to create combinations of at least 2-10 perfume ingredients, including citrus, aldehydic, amber, animalic, and floral ingredients, to promote sleep quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If single ingredients or basic ingredient combinations are used, then the study of fragrance effects on sleep quality is simpler, but the hedonic performance and sophistication of the fragrance is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by combining multiple perfume ingredients (at least 2 ingredients, preferably 3-10) into a sophisticated fragrance composition. This composite approach ensures both hedonic performance and sleep quality improvement, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces the Sandman Classifier (SC) value as a quantitative parameter to evaluate fragrance compositions. By setting specific SC value ranges (1.35-3.0, preferably 1.35-1.50), the patent transforms the subjective assessment of sleep quality into an objective measurable parameter, enabling systematic optimization of fragrance compositions.
2Reliability
If fragrance compositions are designed to promote sleep quality, then sleep quality is improved, but the hedonic performance and sophistication may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the Sandman Classifier (SC) value as a guiding parameter to design fragrance compositions that simultaneously achieve sleep quality improvement and hedonic performance. By optimizing ingredient combinations within specific SC value ranges, the patent ensures both functional and sensory qualities are met.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs EEG measurements to objectively assess the impact of fragrance compositions on sleep quality, providing feedback for composition optimization. This feedback mechanism allows perfumers to iteratively refine formulations to achieve both sleep promotion and hedonic performance.
3Manufacturing precision
If a reliable and objective method for selecting perfume ingredient combinations is established, then fragrance composition precision is improved, but the complexity of the selection process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces the Sandman Classifier (SC) value as a quantitative parameter to evaluate fragrance compositions. By setting specific SC value ranges (1.35-3.0, preferably 1.35-1.50), the patent transforms the subjective assessment of sleep quality into an objective measurable parameter, enabling systematic optimization of fragrance compositions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the SC value formula as an intermediary tool that bridges the gap between complex EEG measurements and practical fragrance formulation. This intermediary parameter simplifies the selection process by providing a single numerical value that predicts sleep quality improvement, reducing the complexity of the selection methodology.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The perfume compositions with SC values greater than 1.35 effectively enhance sleep quality by creating a relaxing and well-being-inducing scent profile, as validated through EEG and consumer testing.
Implementation Method 1
The brain wave activity is measured by EEG using the standard 10-20 electrode system

AI summary
A perfume composition comprising at least 2 perfume ingredients, having a known Sandman Classifier (SC) value of at least 1.35. Preferred perfume compositions exhibit SC values of 1.35 to about 150, more particularly 1.35 to about 75, and still more particularly 1.35 to about 3. The composition enhances the quality of sleep.
