  • Publication number: 20070264217
    Abstract: The present invention relates to photo-labile pro-fragrance conjugates comprising: a) a photo-labile unit which upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation is capable of releasing a pro-fragrance unit; and b) a pro-fragrance unit, which when so released is either i) a pro-fragrance compound capable of releasing a fragrance raw material; or ii) a fragrance raw material. The present invention relates to systems for delivering fragrances to a situs, and to laundry detergent compositions, fine fragrances, personal care and hair care compositions comprising said systems.

  • Publication number: 20060287219
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are benefit agent delivery systems which are formed by separately adding to a liquid or granular matrix certain kinds of primary amine compounds and selected types of benefit agents, e.g., perfumes, in the form of aldehydes or ketones. When substrate surfaces are treated with aqueous solutions or dispersions of such delivery systems, the benefit agent is indirectly exposed to and preferably deposited on the substrate surface in such a manner that it provides its benefit to the surface for a longer period of time than when the amine compound is not present. Such benefit agent delivery systems are especially suitable for incorporation into laundry detergent or other fabric-treating products.
