Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of microcapsules, said microcapsules comprising a hydrophobic core and a polymeric shell wherein said polymeric shell is formed of the reaction product of (i) at least one monofunctional or multifunctional ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and (ii) at least one nanocellulose or microcrystalline cellulose. The invention also relates to a process for the manufacture of such an aqueous dispersion, as well as consumer products containing an aqueous dispersion of microcapsules according to the invention.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an encapsulated fragrance composition including an accord including at least one of menthol and isopulegol. Consumer products containing said encapsulated fragrance composition are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A household product contains a fragrance composition, in which the fragrance composition contains from about 0.2 to less than 10% by weight of isopulegol, based on the total weight of the fragrance composition. A method for delivering a perceived cooling sensation in the air includes dispersing isopulegol into the air, or implementing the household product as the above.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of screening a fragrance or a flavouring using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging to assess the ability of said fragrance or flavouring to elicit a “well-being” effect.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a fragrance accord comprising a mixture of dihydromyrcene and at least one compound selected from peppermint cyclohexanone, menthol, isopulegol, pulegol, menthyl acetate, and optionally at least one compound selected from citroxide, elemicin, elemol, geranic oxide, vanillyl ethyl ether, vanillyl butyl ether, caryophyllene beta, and zingiberene alpha. Consumer products containing said fragrance accord are also provided herein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining whether a test compound can counteract malodour from a sulphur odorant. The method includes contacting the test compound and the sulphur odorant with an olfactory receptor OR4E2, and comparing the binding of the OR4E2 to the sulphur odorant, or the activity of the OR4E2, in the presence and in the absence of the test compound.

Abstract: A method for imparting a stimulating effect to a non-ingestible consumer product includes adding a fragrance composition to the consumer product. The consumer product is selected from a household product, a laundry product, a personal care product and a cosmetic product. The fragrance composition contains from about 0.2 wt % to less than 10 wt % of isopulegol, based on the total weight of the fragrance composition.

Abstract: A household product includes a fragrance composition. The fragrance composition includes a chemaesthethic agent selected from: vanillyl ethyl ether, vanillyl n-propyl ether, vanillyl isopropyl ether, vanillyl butyl ether, elemol, elimicin, lime oxide, ocimene quintoxide, 2-isopropenyl-5-methyl-5-vinyltetrahydrofuran and isopulegol. In particular, the household product is preferably an air freshener dispenser device, a floor cleaner, a kitchen or bathroom surface cleaner, a toilet rim block, or a toilet cistern block.

Abstract: A novel microcapsule which is endowed for example with reduced leakage of encapsulated materials. The microcapsule contains one or more fragrances and is suitable for inclusion in non-edible consumer goods products, laundry products, personal care products and cosmetic products. The microcapsule can be obtained in an economic and efficient manner by polymerizing an emulsion so that emulsion droplets are encapsulated into a subsequently cured polymeric shell.
