Abstract: A method for masking or modifying the olfactory or gustatory sensation generated in a user by a base product (7) includes releasing an aromatic or fragrant composition over time in a sequenced manner in relation to the release of the base product (7), the aromatic or fragrant composition being housed in at least one rupturable container (5). A device used to implement the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a removable device for preserving and releasing a product contained in a reservoir (2) having a rupturable wall. Said device is in the form of a stopper (1) intended to be fitted on a container (5), and comprises: a cap (3) which is able to engage with the neck (50) of the container (5) and through which passes a hollow dispensing tube (12) which leads into said container (5), and an insert (4) able to be positioned on or in the neck (50) of the container. The cap (3) and the insert (4) delimit a rigid chamber (10) of variable volume, containing at least one reservoir (2) containing said product and at least one opening (11) for releasing the product in the container (5). Means enable the cap (3) and the insert (4) to be moved closer together, reducing the volume of the chamber (10) and rupturing the reservoirs (2). These means consist of a screw thread (30) present on the cap (3) and engaging with the screw thread (51) on the neck (50).

Abstract: A domestic care product comprising a fragrance particle wherein the particle comprises a fragrance composition and at least one silicone polymer having a melting point of at least 10° C., provided that at least 20% of the silicone atoms in the silicone polymer have a substituent of 16 carbon atoms or more. The fragrance may be employed in relatively small proportions and yet deliver fragrance to a domestic care product over a prolonged period of time by use these silicone polymers.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for making devices which release active material, e.g. a drug, at a controlled rate, which device comprises a closed container and the active material. The device is made by first making a hollow envelope, e.g. by extrusion or moulding, followed by introducing the active material into the void of the envelope. The device may have a ring or cylindrical form.
