Abstract: Described is a process for reducing a malodour formed as a result of fatty acid derivative degradation and/or organic amine degradation taking place in a fabric care base contained in a fabric article or in a cosmetic or therapeutic base adsorbed on the human epidermis by treating the base-bearing fabric article or base-bearing human epidermis with a synergistic mixture of t-butyl phenolic compounds which may also include at least one malodour-reducing fragrance component compatible with each of the phenolic composition components. Also described are novel compositions useful in carrying out the aforementioned process.

Abstract: Described is a process and compositions for counteracting human sweat malodor. The compositions containing at least 10 weight percent of either 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-nonadienenitrile or 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienenitrile. Additional ingredients may be added including napthyl methyl ether, methyl beta-naphthyl ketone, benzyl acetone, methanoinden propionates, methyl ionone, tetramethylnaphtho furan, ethylene glycol cyclic ester of dodecanedioic acid, 1-cyclohexadecen-6-one, 1-cycliheptadecen- 10-one, and corn mint oil. These compositions are applied to either fabric or a defined surface area of the human epidermis.

Abstract: Described is a process for counteracting malodors including but not limited to pet malodor, tobacco malodor and mildew malodor comprising using as an additive to a base perfume composition a mixture consisting essentially of from about 20 up to about 60% musk, from about 30% up to about 70% citrus, and from about 1% up to about 20% mint. Adding from about 0.5% up to about 20% of such a malodor coverage formulation will yield from about a 10% up to about a 75% improvement in malodor neutralization efficacy; and a composition useful in such process.
