Described herein are microcapsules having an oil-based core and a polymeric shell, where the oil-based core includes a perfume oil having high impact perfume raw materials and a density balancing material. Perfuming compositions and consumer products including said microcapsules, in particular isotropic or structured consumer products in the form of home care or personal care products, are also described herein.

Described is in particular a fragrance mixture, preferably perfume oil, comprising the components (a) (tricyclo[5.2.1.0]-decane-8-ethyl ether) ##STR00001##
and additionally (b) one or more fragrance(s), preferably with a floral odor note, from the group consisting of alcohols and aldehydes having a molecular weight of 210 g/mol or less and/or (c) one or more fragrance(s) from the group consisting of ketones, ethers and esters having a molecular weight in the range from 190 g/mol to 250 g/mol. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for producing fragrance mixtures according to the invention, in particular perfume oils, perfumed products containing a fragrance mixture according to the invention, methods for producing perfumed products according to the invention as well as the use of the compound of formula (I) for enhancing the natural freshness and/or radiance and/or for masking or reducing greasy, technical and/or metallic notes of one or more fragrances different from the compound of formula (I).

The present invention concerns a compound of formula (I) in the form of any one of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof, and wherein n is 0 or 1; R and R, independently from each other, represent a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-2 linear alkyl group provided that one of said groups represents a hydrogen atom and the other a C.sub.1-2 linear alkyl group; each R.sup.1, independently from each other, represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 represent, independently of each other, a C.sub.1-3 linear alkyl group; or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, when taken together, represent a C.sub.4-5 linear, branched alkanediyl or alkenediyl. The use of compound of formula (I) as perfuming ingredients of floral type and the invention's compounds as part of a perfuming composition or of a perfuming consumer product are also part of the present invention. ##STR00001##

The present invention relates to a method for separating metal ions from a liquid, which method comprises contacting liquid comprising metal ions with non-functionalized cellulose, adsorbing the metal ions to the cellulose, and separating the liquid from the cellulose, wherein the liquid is an essential oil.

The present invention primarily relates to the use of one or more compound(s) of formula (I) ##STR00001##
as fragrance, wherein R is methyl or ethyl and R.sub.1 is H, methyl or ethyl. The invention further relates to new fragrance compositions comprising one or more compound(s) of formula (I), as described herein, the use of said fragrance compositions, perfumed articles comprising said fragrance compositions, and various methods of perfuming said articles or for imparting, modifying and/or enhancing certain olfactory notes.

The present invention relates to 2,3,7-Trimethyloct-6-enyl acetate and 3,7-dimethyl-2-methylene-oct-6-enyl acetate and derivatives thereof and their use as aroma chemicals.

A shampoo composition and a method of making a shampoo composition which delivers both good conditioning benefits and good lather performance. The shampoo composition comprises a dispersed gel network phase comprising: from about 2.8 weight % to about 8 wt % of one or more fatty alcohols; at least 0.01% of one or more secondary surfactants, wherein the secondary surfactant comprises sodium laureth-n sulfate wherein n is from about 0 to about 5; and water; and from about 5% to about 50% of a detersive surfactant; from about 0.02% to about 1.50% of a material selected from the group consisting of structurants, suspending agents and mixtures thereof, from about 0.5 to about 1% of a cationic deposition polymer; and at least 20% of an aqueous carrier.

The invention is directed to the field of pro-fragrances used in detergents and cleaning agents, cosmetic agents and air fresheners, for example. The invention relates to particular cyclic ketals used as pro-fragrances. The invention also relates to detergents and cleaning agents, cosmetic agents and air fresheners containing ketals of the type. The invention further relates to a method for creating a long-lasting fragrance on surfaces and for repelling insects.

Sunscreen formulations and systems for sun protection and related methods of use are described herein.

The present invention discloses to a personal care composition having a polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione; a 2-pyridinol-N-oxide material; and a zinc containing layered material; wherein the ratio of a:b is from about 0.5 to about 1.5; the ratio of b:c is about 0.2 to about 1.0; and the ratio of a:c is about 0.2 to about 1.0 and wherein there is a synergistic antioxidant activity.
