Abstract: Methods for enhancing a preference for a product by repetitive use. The method involves formulating a perfume composition into a product, the perfume composition including (I) allyl caproate and (II) ambroxan or geranium oil.

Abstract: Skin blood circulation is improved, skin temperature is increased, or shoulder stiffness or sensitivity to cold is prevented or improved by using, as an active ingredient, at least one of the members selected from the group consisting of an Arabian jasmine (matsurika, jasmin sambac) extract, a damask rose (Rosa damascena) steam distillate, 3-methyloctano-4-lactone, and bornyl acetate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a flavor and/or fragrance composition having a natural scent of Jasminum sambac, which is characterized by adding at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of 3,7-dimethyl-1,5-octadiene-3,7-diol, 2,6-dimethyl-1,7-octadiene-3,6-diol, and dehydrolinalool to a base composition having, as a keynote, Jasminum sambac flower-like scent. The total amount of the scent ingredients is preferably 0.01 to 20% by mass of the whole flavor and/or fragrance composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for selecting a perfume ingredient that can enhance a preference therefor by continuous use from among arbitrary perfume ingredients; a perfume composition and a preference-enhancing agent that can give a high preference therefor and enhance the preference by continuous use; and a hair cleanser that can offer excellent use texture and improve the use texture by continuous use. A method for selecting a perfume ingredient comprising; conducting the following evaluation (A) and/or (B) on arbitrary perfume ingredients and making a selection with the evaluation result as an indicator: (A) an evaluation of an impression of the “density” of a fragrance on first exposure and an evaluation of an impression of the “density” of the fragrance after two or more exposures; and (B) an evaluation of an impression of the “cheerfulness” of a fragrance on first exposure and an evaluation of an impression of the “cheerfulness” of the fragrance after two or more exposures.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to discover that a perfume can change a person's temperature sense and humidity sense, to identify a perfume component that can change temperature sense, and to provide a perfume composition for controlling temperature sense that contains this perfume component, and to a sense control method or sense control article such as an aromatic or a cosmetic that is beneficial for controlling temperature sense, and to a perfume map for selecting a perfume suited to controlling temperature sense. The perfume composition is characterized in that a perfume component that changes the temperature subjectively sensed by a person (temperature sense) is contained, and that the perfume component that changes the temperature sense is a perfume component identified on the basis of a temperature image obtained from test subject assessment.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a sedative effect-imparting agent that provides excellent sedative effect with good fragrance-releasing property, and is possible to provide the excellent sedative effect immediately. The sedative effect-imparting agent according to the present invention provides excellent sedative effect immediately, since it consists of dimethoxybenzene that provides excellent sedative effect with good fragrance-releasing property.

[The perfume composition] is characterized in that a perfume component that changes the temperature subjectively sensed by a person (temperature sense) is contained, and that the perfume component that changes the temperature sense is a perfume component identified on the basis of a temperature image obtained from test subject assessment.

Abstract: Hypo-allergenic moss oil from which ethyl hematommate and/or ethyl chlorohematommate or atranorin and/or chloroatranorin are substantially removed. This hypo-allergenic moss oil can be produced by chromatography separation, solvent extraction, countercurrent partition, and/or membrane separation or catalytic hydrogenation treatment and/or alkaline treatment.
