Silica microcapsules, each of which includes a shell, and a core containing one or more organic compounds inside the shell, a softener composition containing the silica microcapsules, and a method of producing the silica microcapsules is described. In the silica microcapsules, the shell contains silica as a constituent component, and the organic compound contains a primary alcohol.

A perfumed composition in a solid or semi-solid form, where the composition includes from 5 to 40% by weight of the total weight of the perfume composition, and from 10 to 15% by weight of the total weight of the trihydroxystearin composition. The composition includes a solvent, preferably triethyl citrate. One or more embodiments relate to the field of perfumes and perfumed compositions. It finds advantageous application in the field of fine perfumery, cosmetics, hygiene products to be rinsed off or not, and home fragrances or indoor deodorisers or air fresheners.

The present invention relates to a method for characterising, by means of an electronic nose, the release kinetics of odorous compounds from a sample, comprising the following series of steps: (a) supplying a sample; (b) at a time t1, exposing the sensor array of the electronic nose to some of the gaseous medium comprising the odorous compounds released from the sample, and processing the response emitted by the sensor array of the electronic nose, after said exposure, in the form of a signal; and (c) repeating step (b) at least once, at a time t2 different from the time t1, whereby an olfactory kinetic signature characterising the sample is obtained. The present invention also relates to the use of this method for anti-counterfeiting and/or quality control purposes and for generating a data bank or database of temporal olfactory signatures. The present invention finally relates to certain devices used when implementing such methods.

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent gelling material (AGM) having an encapsulated compound of one or more odor controlling organic compounds disposed upon a surface thereof is described. Alternatively, an AGM particle comprising an encapsulated reactive compound of one or more odor controlling organic compounds disposed as a surface coating thereon is described. Additionally, a method to manufacture an absorbent article is described. The method provides for the steps of: a) providing a solution in a solvent system, the solution has an encapsulating agent and one or more odor controlling organic compounds as a surface coating; b) applying an amount of the solution to a surface of an AGM particle; and, c) incorporating the AGM particle having the solution applied thereto into the absorbent article.

The present invention relates to aroma chemical compositions containing 3,5-diethyl-2-propyl-tetrahydropyran, a 3,5-diethyl-2-propyl-dihydropyran or a 3,5-diethyl-2-propyl-pyran, a mixture of such compounds, a stereoisomer of one of these compounds, or a mixture of stereoisomers of one or more of these compounds. The invention further relates to a method for preparing such compounds, stereoisomers or mixtures thereof, to the composition obtainable by this method, to the use of such compounds as an aroma chemical or for modifying the scent character of a fragranced composition; and to a method for preparing a fragranced composition or for modifying the scent character of a fragranced composition using said compounds. Moreover, the invention relates to 3,5-diethyl-2-propyl-tetrahydropyran, to its stereoisomers and to mixtures of these stereoisomers.

The present invention relates to 1-(7,10,10-trimethyl-4-bicyclo[6.2.0]decanyl)ethanone, the use of 1-(7,10,10-trimethyl-4-bicyclo[6.2.0]decanyl)ethanone as a fragrance or as flavor, to a method for imparting or modifying a scent or a flavor to a composition by including said compound into such composition, to a fragrance containing composition and/or a fragrance material containing said compound and to a process for preparing 1-(7,10,10-trimethyl-4-bicyclo[6.2.0]decanyl)ethanone.
