Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid and solid biodegradable fabric softener compositions combined with highly enduring substantive perfume compositions. These enduring perfume compositions comprise at least about 70% of enduring perfume ingredients. These compositions provide better perfume deposition on treated fabric, and consequently are not substantially lost during the rinse and drying cycle for less impact on the environment. Also, these perfumes improve the physical stability of the softener composition.
