Abstract: A product package and method that allows a consumer to sample a fragrance of a product at the point of sale. The product package (100) includes a vessel (102) defining an orifice (114), a product (104) disposed within the vessel that may be dispensed from the vessel through the orifice, a cap (108) attached to the vessel, and a scented material (144) having a fragrance (146). When the cap, and thus the product package, is in an open position, the fragrance of the scented material is released to an exterior of the product package and may be sampled or smelled by a consumer. When the cap, and thus the product package, is in a closed position, the fragrance of the scented material is substantially prevented from being released to the exterior of the product package.

Abstract: Disclosed are products incorporating fragrance-enhancing compositions, methods for increasing the fragrance intensity of fragrance-containing products, and methods for the manufacture of the fragrance-containing products. A fragrance containing gel is exposed to a space outside of the container upon opening of the container for dispensing a material from the container.
