Fabric treatment compositions that include benefit agent capsules and biphenyl brightener. Methods of using the same. Wash water that includes such compositions.

Disclosed is an encapsulated composition comprising a plurality of core-shell microcapsules. The core-shell microcapsules comprise a core and a shell surrounding the core. The core comprises a perfume composition comprising at least one biodegradable ingredient(s). The biodegradable ingredient(s) is/are present at a total concentration of at least 75 wt.-% relative to the total weight of the perfume composition.

A solid particulate composition including, based on the total weight of the composition, a) 20 to 95 wt. % of at least one water-soluble carrier material selected from hydrous salts of which the water vapor partial pressure corresponds, at a specific temperature in the range from 30 to 100° C., to the H.sub.2O partial pressure of the saturated solution of salt; b) 0.1 to 20 wt. % fragrance; and c) 0.1 to 30 wt. % of at least one textile-care compound. The invention further relates to the use and a method for the preparation of a solid particulate composition.

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.

The present invention relates to the field of perfumery. More particularly, it concerns malodor masking compositions and/or ingredients, as well as method for counteracting or masking malodors and perfuming compositions having odor masking properties.

Fabric treatment compositions that include certain polymer systems, such as systems that include a first polymer that is a soil release polymer and a second polymer that is a graft copolymer (e.g., a PEG/vinyl acetate polymer), an alkoxylated polyalkyleneimine polymer, or a mixture thereof. Related processes and uses.

Washing and/or care articles may include a substrate containing polyvinyl alcohol and starch and one or more perfume compositions comprising fragrance precursor compounds. Furthermore, such articles may be used for washing, cleaning and/or care purposes, such as for textiles. A method for washing, caring for or conditioning textiles using such an article is also disclosed.

Disclosed is a biodegradable resin composite material including a biodegradable polymer resin and multifunctional particles, wherein: (a) the multifunctional particles include 10-70 wt. % of a hydrophobic active ingredient, 21-72 wt. % of a polysaccharide, 3.80-20 wt. % of a crosslinking agent, 1.00-6 wt. % of a catalyst, 0.10-5 wt. % of a silica flow aid, optionally 0.10-5 wt. % of a desiccant, optionally 0.20-20 wt. % emulsifier, optionally 1-10 wt. % of a degradation enhancer, and optionally 1-10 wt. % of particle dispersion aids; (b) the multifunctional particles are anhydrous; and (c) the hydrophobic active ingredient is encapsulated in a crosslinked polysaccharide matrix. Alternative multifunctional particles useful in the invention are also disclosed.

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.

The need for laundry detergent compositions that provide improved deposition of perfume ingredients onto fabrics comprising synthetic fibres, and especially those perfume ingredients that typically do not readily deposit onto synthetic fibres, is met by incorporating a vinylpyrrolidone polymer and specific perfume ingredients into a laundry detergent composition.
