Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprising (A) a first structured and adhesive film-forming fatty phase comprising (i) one or more lipidic components that are mutually compatible with one another when liquefied; (ii) at least one adhesive film-forming agent; and (iii) at least one lipophilic structuring agent in an amount effective to retain a second fatty phase entrapped in said cosmetic composition prior to application on mammalian keratinous tissue; and (B) a second fatty phase comprising at least one non-volatile lipidic component wherein said second fatty phase (B) is incompatible with said first structured and adhesive film-forming fatty phase (A) and said second fatty phase (B) is entrapped in said composition where upon application of said composition to mammalian keratinous tissue, said second fatty phase (B) readily separates from said composition to form a barrier layer over said first structured and adhesive film-forming fatty phase (A) and wherein said composition is substantially free of surfactants such

Abstract: A composition comprising: (a) from about 0.01% to about 99%, by weight, of a fragrance oil, wherein the fragrance oil comprises about 5% or greater, by weight of fragrance oil, of a top note perfume raw material, or mixture of top note perfume raw materials, and wherein the top note perfume raw materials have a boiling point of less than, or equal to, about 250° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure; (b) an entrapment material which is selected from the group consisting of polymers; capsules, microcapsules and nanocapsules; liposomes; pro-perfumes selected from more than 1 type of pro-chemistry; film formers; absorbents; cyclic oligosaccharides and mixtures thereof; (c) greater than about 50% volatile solvent.

Abstract: A composition comprising: (a) a fragrance oil comprising: (i) top note perfume raw material, or mixture of perfume raw materials, with a boiling point of less than, or equal to, about 250° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure; (ii) middle or base note perfume raw material, or mixture of perfume raw materials, with a boiling point of greater than 250° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure; (b) an entrapment material which is selected from the group consisting of polymers; capsules, microcapsules and nanocapsules; liposomes; pro-perfumes selected from more than 1 type of pro-chemistry; film formers; absorbents; cyclic oligosaccharides and mixtures thereof; (c) greater than 50% volatile solvent; wherein the weight ratio of the top note perfume raw materials to middle or base note perfume raw materials within the fragrance oil is in the range from about 1:20 to about 20:1.

Abstract: A composition comprising: (a) a fragrance oil wherein the fragrance oil comprises greater than 0.5% of a top note perfume raw material, or mixture of top note perfume raw materials, with a boiling point of less than, or equal to, 250° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure; (b) an entrapment material which is selected from the group consisting of polymers; capsules, microcapsules and nanocapsules; liposomes; film formers; absorbents; cyclic oligosaccharides and mixtures thereof; (c) greater than 50% volatile solvent; wherein the perfume raw material and the entrapment material exist in an associated form on the substrate and wherein the weight ratio of the top note perfume raw material to the entrapment material within the associated form is in the range from about 1:20 to about 20:1.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for improving release, on a surface, of a fragrance from an entrapment structure of at least one fragrance oil and at least one entrapment material. The method destabilizes the entrapment structure by providing at least one trigger molecule which preferentially associates with the entrapment material; and/or at least one release agent which at least partially disrupts the entrapment structure. The invention also provides a composition for improving release of a fragrance from a surface. The composition comprises at least one fragrance oil; at least one entrapment material, the at least one fragrance oil and the at least one entrapment material being capable, in use, of forming an entrapment structure on the surface.
