  • Patent number: 6364097
    Abstract: A pull-apart fragrance sampler is provided which may be produced in-line and without the use of pressure sensitive materials. The sampler includes a carrier defining a fold line, barrier applied to the carrier and centered with respect to the fold line such that the fold line divides the barrier into a first half and a second half, and a wet fragrance sample applied to one of the first and second halves of the barrier. The carrier and barrier are folded over upon themselves along the fold line and a seal is formed around the wet fragrance sample without the use of pressure sensitive materials to bind the two halves of the sampler together. The seal and barrier define a pocket which will substantially prevent the premature release of said fragrance from the sampler. The seal may be a heat seal, an adhesive seal, or a cohesive seal. The barrier may be an aqueous based curable coating, an organic based curable coating, or a film.

  • Publication number: 20020013108
    Abstract: A scented perfumed blotter, including a paperboard or polymer card, having a coating applied to its surface, at least with respect to the paper formed card, so that print or graphics can be applied thereto, or foil laminated thereon, to provide an enhanced display for promoting the marketing of the fragrance. To the underside of the paperboard or plastic card, there may be laminated thereto, a highly porous sheet of paper, adhered thereto by means of an adhesive, or pressure sensitive adhesive, that may be laminated by means of roller or other application, so that when the card is held by the sales person, or the prospective customer, as in-store, a fragrance may be sprayed thereto, upon the porous under surface, and provide a ready scent for detection by the customer to determine her acceptance of the applied fragrance. Or, the card, as sprayed, can be simply rubbed upon the surface of the skin, to provide a minor application of the fragrance, for ready detection.
