The present disclosure provides a fragrance accord comprising a mixture of dihydromyrcene and at least one compound selected from peppermint cyclohexanone, menthol, isopulegol, pulegol, menthyl acetate, and optionally at least one compound selected from citroxide, elemicin, elemol, geranic oxide, vanillyl ethyl ether, vanillyl butyl ether, caryophyllene beta, and zingiberene alpha. Consumer products containing said fragrance accord are also provided herein.

A compound, represented by Formula (1): where X represents an isopropyl group or a t-butyl group, and R represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms; provided that one where X is an isopropyl group, and R is a t-butyl group is excluded. ##STR00001##

The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such personal care compositions. Such personal care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesirable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduly altered by the malodor control technology.

Described herein is a process including alpha alkylation of an aldehyde with a polycyclic olefin followed by a ring opening step in order to provide a compound of formula ##STR00001##
in a form of any one of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof and where n represents 1 to 4 and R.sup.2 to R.sup.5 represent independently of each other, a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-6 linear alkyl group or a C.sub.3-6 branched alkyl group; and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 or, alternatively, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 when taken together form a saturated or unsaturated optionally substituted 5 or 6 membered carbocyclic ring.

Described herein is a method of using cyclic oxy ether compounds of formula

##STR00001##

in a form of any one of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof, where the dotted line represents a carbon-carbon single or double bond; p represents 0 to 3; n represents 0 to 2; R represents, independently from each other hydrogen, a C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.2-C.sub.6 alkenyl group each optionally substituted by an ester group; and R.sup.1 represents, independently from each other, a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-C.sub.3 alkyl group, the method including using the compound of formula (I) as a perfuming ingredient.

The present disclosure provides a fragrance accord comprising a mixture of dihydromyrcene and at least one compound selected from peppermint cyclohexanone, menthol, isopulegol, pulegol, menthyl acetate, and optionally at least one compound selected from citroxide, elemicin, elemol, geranic oxide, vanillyl ethyl ether, vanillyl butyl ether, caryophyllene beta, and zingiberene alpha. Consumer products containing said fragrance accord are also provided herein.

A malodor reducing composition is provided. The composition includes a perfume mixture including (a) at least one odor-reducing material; and (b) at least one N-heterocycle selected from an aromatic N-heterocyclic moiety and N,S-heterocyclic moiety. The at least one odor-reducing material exhibits an Odor Value (OV) having a common decimal logarithm (log.sub.10 OV) of greater than about 5.5.
