An aromatic shower sachet is a personal hygiene and aromatherapy device used to diffuse pleasant and therapeutic scents throughout a shower area when exposed to water or steam. The aromatic shower sachet utilizes a permeable enclosure containing a quantity of aromatic compound, a quantity of absorbent starch, a quantity of reactive base, and a quantity of acid catalyst homogenously mixed into water-reactive mixture. The water-reactive mixture is retained within the permeable enclosure such that water or water vapor may penetrate the permeable enclosure. The water reacts on-contact with the water-reactive mixture, releasing fragrances through the permeable enclosure.

The invention relates to a malodor counteractancy or counteracting (MOC) method that resorts to the use of specific malodor counteracting (MOC) mixtures of fragrance ingredients. More particularly, the invention relates to new MOC compositions capable of neutralizing or masking in an efficient manner malodors of a large variety of such as body or as malodors, kitchen malodors, toilet and bathroom malodors, and tobacco malodor. The novel MOC compositions of the invention contain at least one nitrite material in combination with another fragrance material and can be used in any finished consumer products such as air fresheners, kitchen or toilet/bathroom cleaning or freshening products, textile treatment products and products for application on the human skin or hair, or on animal fur, litter containers or cages.

Disclosed is a gas filtering apparatus positioned in a closed environment for reducing odor from gases using compost mass. The gas filtering apparatus includes a first compartment, a second compartment and a layer. The first compartment is having an inlet for receiving gases and a perforated top surface. The first compartment allows the gases to move upwards through the perforated top surface. The second compartment is positioned on top of the first compartment. The second compartment includes a top section with an opening and an open bottom section. The second compartment stores organic compost for treating the received gases from the perforated top surface of the first compartment. The treated gas is released in the atmosphere through the opening. The layer is configured to attach to the open bottom section of the second compartment. The layer is configured to hold the compost mass in the second compartment. Further, the layer is allows the gases to pass from the perforated top surface of the first compartment to the second compartment.

A perfume composition having controlled release of phytoncides in an atmosphere in order to generate an air condition resembling the air environment of a forest is provided. The perfume composition includes a) at least about 0.6% by weight of at least one phytoncide; and b) a perfume mixture including (i) at least one solvent; and (ii) at least one fragrance ingredient. At least about 25% by weight of the at least one phytoncide is selected from the group consisting of pinene alpha, pinene beta and combinations thereof.

The invention relates to an antimicrobial particle and to a composition for use in personal or home care products comprising the same. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the antimicrobial particle. The antimicrobial particle comprises thymol and terpineol incorporated in a cage-forming inorganic silicate or aluminosilicate particle which is coated with a coating material selected from a water soluble alkali or alkaline earth metal salt.
