A fragrance delivery system is disclosed whereby multiple fragrances can be released on demand. The fragrance delivery system includes a plurality of microcells, wherein each of the plurality of microcells is filled with a fragrance composition. Each of the plurality of microcells includes an opening, the opening being spanned by a porous sealing layer. The fragrance delivery system provides a tool to deliver a customizable olfactory effect in the vicinity of the fragrance delivery system.

Heterocycles having odoriferous ketone or odoriferous aldehyde groups may be suitable in compositions comprising washing agents, cleaning agents, cosmetic agents, air care agents, insect repellents, or combinations thereof where the heterocycles release the ketones and aldehydes during hydrolysis. The heterocycle(s) may have the formula: ##STR00001##

The present application relates to encapsulated benefit agents, compositions comprising such encapsulated benefit agents and processes for making and using compositions comprising such encapsulated benefit agents. Such encapsulated benefit agents eliminate or minimize one or more of the drawbacks of current encapsulated benefit agents and thus provide formulators with additional perfume delivery opportunities.
