  • Patent number: 5445821
    Abstract: A fragrance sampler has an image of a perfume bottle printed on a paper sheet, the image including a body portion and a cap portion. The part of the sheet on which the cap is printed is removable from the rest of the sheet and is connected to a strip on which microcapsules enclosing droplets of the displayed perfume are adhered. The strip is located underneath the sheet on which the image is printed and is concealed from view until removed along with the cap portion. Effective light adhesion is provided by using gelatin-walled microcapsules, which adhere to the strip without use of binder when applied from an aqueous slurry. Upon detaching the cap portion and pulling it away from the sampler, the perfume-carrying strip is also removed, allowing the strip to be used as an applicator for placing sample particles on the skin of the user. The sampler effectively simulates the bottle used for a particular perfume and correlates the visual image of the bottle with a fragrance that is delivered.
