A piezoelectric dispenser includes a refill having a container having a neck and defining a fluid reservoir, a wick holder affixed to the neck, and a wick retained by the wick holder that has an upper end that is in communication with a piezoelectric assembly, the wick defining a longitudinal axis. The dispenser further includes a housing having a base and an overhanging cover that defines a fluid outlet and extends inward from the base at a shoulder, toward the longitudinal axis, the overhanging cover being disposed around and above the upper end of the wick and housing the piezoelectric assembly. The piezoelectric assembly includes a coil compression spring and the base is provided on a rear side of the refill with the left, right, and front sides being exposed to a surrounding environment after the refill has been coupled with the overhanging cover.

A composition may include microcapsules containing at least one odor-neutralizing agent, and agents may include such a composition. Furthermore, such compositions or agents may reduce malodors and/or be used for treating a surface, for treating room air, or for washing and/or caring for textiles using such compositions or agents.

The present invention provides long-lasting fragrance compositions that impart to a consumer a long-lasting perception and/or intensity of a perfume during fragrance wear. The present invention provides long-lasting fragrance compositions for prolonging the performance of a fragrance oil.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention relate generally to a variety of norbornene derivatives exhibiting olfactive properties and are suitable as fragrance ingredients. More specifically, this invention relates to various fragrance compositions containing one or more of a compound of formula (I): ##STR00001##
Wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are as defined herein. The compounds of formula (I) are useful as perfumes, colognes, and in perfume augmenting, modifying, enhancing, and imparting compositions. The compositions of this invention are therefore useful in a variety of products including perfumes, colognes, soaps, detergents, candles, air fresheners, trash bags, tissues, deodorants, lotions, skin care products, hair products, sanitary products, cleaning products, and the like.
