Abstract: The present invention provides an emulsion comprising an organic discontinuous phase which is distributed throughout a continuous aqueous phase, wherein the organic phase comprises, a) an organic solvent which is a liquid at 25° C. and/or, b) an organic phase stabilising material that comprises hydrophobic moieties and is a material which is more soluble in the organic phase than the aqueous phase, and the emulsion further comprises an encapsulated fragrance, said fragrance is encapsulated in microparticles. The present invention also relates to personal care compositions comprising emulsions containing encapsulated fragrances for improved fragrance delivery. The present invention also relates a method of use that comprises application of an effective amount of a liquid or solid personal care composition comprising an emulsion that contains a fragrance encapsulated in microparticles to at least one part of the body.
