Abstract: The invention relates to a malodor reducing composition comprising: at least one of (A) phenylglycidate represented by the following formula (1): wherein R1 is a C1-C4 branched or linear alkyl group, R2 is hydrogen or methyl, and R3 is hydrogen, a C1-C4 branched or linear alkyl group or a methoxyl group; and (B) 1,2-diketone represented by the following formula (2) or (3): wherein R4, R5 and R7 are each independently, a C1-C5 linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group, R6 is a (C1-C5) alkylidene, R4 and R5 may form a C4-C7 saturated or unsaturated alicyclic or hetrocyclic ring structure which may be mono-substituted or poly-substituted by (C1-C4) alkyl groups, and R6 and R7 may form a C4-C7 unsaturated, alicyclic or heterocyclic ring structure which may be mono-substituted or poly-substituted by (C1-C4) alkyl groups; and the weight ratio of the phenylglycidate (A) to the 1,2-diketone (B) being from 1:99 to 99:1.
