Abstract: A fragrance delivery device, system and method is provided, comprising a housing including a rupture device and an absorbent member receivable in the housing. The system further includes a cartridge insertable within the housing and containing a fragrance medium therein. The rupture device of the housing is engageable with the cartridge to release the fragrance medium from the cartridge into the housing. The absorbent member absorbs the fragrance medium and permeates a fragrance from the fragrance medium to an external environment.

Abstract: The present invention provides masking compositions that include a lower alkyl carboxylic acid, e.g. acetic acid. Also provided is a masking composition that includes (a) a lower alkyl carboxylic acid (e.g. acetic acid), a warming sensate (e.g. vanillin or vanillyl butyl ether) and/or a cooling sensate (e.g. menthol or isopulegol).

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to novel compounds of Formula I, Formula II, and Formula III, and stereoisomers thereof, and flavor compositions comprising the novel compounds.

Abstract: Provides is a salivation cocktail that comprises a food acid and a tingling sensate. The combination of a food acid and a tingling sensate has been found to synergistically increase salivation.

Abstract: Ceramide NS and butylene glycol can form a topical composition in which the ceramide NS is lamellar. The topical compositions can be used in a formulation such as a lotion, gel, or cream and can be used to treat an aging-related skin condition, dry skin, skin irritation, skin wrinkles, or other conditions in which the skin barrier is compromised, damaged, or disordered. These compositions can manufactured by dispersing ceramide NS in butylene glycol while heating and stirring.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions that include (a) a warming agent or a cooling agent and (b) a silicone-containing component. Also provided is a method of increasing the warming effect of a warming agent or the cooling effect of a cooling agent by adding a silicone-containing component to a topical composition containing the warming agent or cooling agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising silicone-in-water emulsions and fragrance compositions. It also relates to hair care preparations comprising such compositions, which provide improved release of fragrance when applied to the hair and improved deposition of the fragrance on the hair. The invention is further related to methods of cleansing hair, which comprises applying a hair care preparation to the hair.

Abstract: Trans-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl methyl ketone, including (1S,6R)-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl methyl ketone represented by the formula (1a): and (1R,6S)-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl methyl ketone represented by the formula (1b): are useful components in a perfume composition. A process for producing the same is also described. A unique eucalyptus, mint-like and white floral perfume material is provided using the ketone compounds disclosed in the present invention. The process of the present invention produces the optically active ketone compounds having optical purity up to at least 98.0 % e.e.

Abstract: A deodorant composition is provided including a phenolic compound, at least one enzyme capable of oxidizing the phenolic compound, and/or a deodorant synergy agent that is either a flavor and a fragrance. The fragrance or the flavor possesses a rating for freshness, cleanness and pleasurableness greater than 50 on a scale of from 1 to 100. Preferably, the fragrance is citrusy, fruity, floral (or flower), musky, minty, green, fresh, woody, sandal, spicy, flower and perilla-type accord. The flavor is preferably citrusy, pepperminty, fruity, juicy, minty, herby, vanilla, spicy, flower and perilla-type accord. A method of deodorizing a mal-odor is also provided which includes mixing the deodorant composition of the present invention with a suitable carrier to form a product for treating mal-odors and applying the product to either an article or a mammal.

Abstract: A composition containing a cooling-sensation imparting substance and a cationic surfactant results in an excellent cooling sensation effect. A composition additionally containing vanilylalkyl ether, wherein the alkyl group has 1 to 6 carbon atoms, is also effective as a composition for improving cooling sensation effect. The present composition for improving cooling sensation effect improves cooling sensation effect while also sustaining that effect. In particular, the present invention provides a composition for improving cooling sensation effect that is able to impart a cooling sensation effect and sustain that effect when used after washing the hair using a shampoo containing no cooling sensation substance or a shampoo containing only a small amount of cooling sensation substance.

Abstract: (A) a diacylated dopamine derivative represented by the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group having 3 to 7 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group; and R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group; or a salt thereof; and(B) one or more compounds selected from lactic acid esters, fatty acid monoglycerides and higher alcohols; optionally together with(C) an unsaturated fatty acid monohydric alcohol ester. This preparation has a sustained effect, a high skin permeability and a low skin irritativeness.
