Abstract: There is disclosed a deodorant composition which has its volatile components such as perfume and deodorant components each adsorbed onto an inert solid carrier. Preferably a plurality of volatile components of different relative volatilities are each adsorbed onto an inert solid carrier to provide a plurality of component-bearing, solid fractions which are blended together in preselected portions to provide the desired proportional release rate of each of the volatile components. The blended solid fractions are packaged into a volatile releasing container. The composition does not exhibit the shrinkage characteristic of other compositions such as solid deodorants and can be provided with a controlled and constant relative release rate of its volatile component throughout its useful life.
