Solution Overview

Problem

Current perfume compositions struggle to achieve synergistic blending of odor molecules, leading to unpredictable and variable outcomes in sensory performance, with few examples of synergistic effects and limited understanding of combinatorial mechanisms in olfactory research.

Innovation Solution

The development of perfume compositions using specific groups of ingredients, such as Group 1A, Group 1B, and Group 1C, which include resilient odor components that enhance intensity and create new odor characters when combined, allowing for the formulation of stronger, more complex perfumes with reduced need for additional ingredients.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional perfume compositions are used with multiple odor molecules, then the fragrance complexity increases, but the sensory performance becomes unpredictable and variable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefragrance complexityVSAvoidsensory performance consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical parameters of the perfume composition by selecting specific odor molecules with defined molecular weights, functional groups, and structural characteristics from prescribed groups. This parameter-based selection ensures predictable synergistic interactions while maintaining fragrance complexity, resolving the contradiction between versatility and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite perfume composition by combining specific odor molecules from different prescribed groups (Group 1, Group 2, Group 3) in defined concentration ranges. This composite approach ensures that the combination of molecules produces reliable synergistic effects while maintaining complex fragrance profiles, addressing both fragrance complexity and sensory consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Illumination intensity

If more odor molecules are added to achieve desired fragrance profile, then the intensity and complexity increase, but the number of ingredients required increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveodor intensityVSAvoidnumber of ingredients
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple odor-contributing functions into a smaller set of carefully selected molecules from prescribed groups. By selecting molecules that naturally exhibit synergistic interactions, the composition achieves high odor intensity and complexity with fewer ingredients, resolving the contradiction between intensity and ingredient quantity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes the concentration parameters of selected odor molecules within defined ranges to maximize sensory impact. By adjusting these parameters, the composition achieves high intensity with minimal ingredients, as the selected molecules work synergistically rather than requiring additional components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Illumination intensity

If synergistic blending is attempted with multiple odor molecules, then the sensory impact may be enhanced, but the understanding and control of combinatorial mechanisms remains limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensory impactVSAvoidcombinatorial mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex combinatorial problem into manageable parts by prescribing specific groups of odor molecules with defined characteristics (molecular weight ranges, functional groups, structural features). This segmentation allows controlled synergistic blending while simplifying the understanding and control of combinatorial mechanisms, resolving the contradiction between sensory impact and mechanism complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
