Abstract: Provided herein are methods of improving the dissolution rate in water of a compound of Formula (F) in the form of any one of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof, and wherein n is an integer from 0 to 2; the dotted line represents a carbon-carbon single or double bond; and each of R1 to R4, when taken independently from each other, represents a hydrogen atom or represents a R5 or OR5 group, R5 representing a C1 to C5 alkyl group; and optionally one of the groups R1 to R4 represents —OH; and/or when R1 and R2 are taken together, and/or R3 and R4 are taken together, represent a OCH2O group, provided said groups taken together are adjacent substituents of the phenyl group.

Abstract: The invention relates to a perfume composition that includes a first perfume microcapsule encapsulating a first perfume oil that has a LogT greater than ?2.5 and a cLogP greater than 2.5 and/or a volatility value of at least 30 ?g/l air; and a second perfume microcapsule encapsulating a second perfume oil ingredient that has a LogT less than ?2.5 and a cLogP greater than 2.5 and/or a volatility value of at least 30 ?g/l air. The invention also relates to the use of such mixtures of microcapsules as a perfuming ingredient or perfuming composition for home or personal care products, as well as to the resulting home and body care compositions. Also, a method for increasing shelf life of a home- or personal-care product that contains a perfuming composition which comprises providing the perfume composition as one of the mixtures of microcapsules disclosed herein.
