The present invention relates to malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using same. The malodor reduction compositions are suitable for use in a variety of applications, including use in consumer products, for example, air freshening compositions, laundry detergents, fabric enhancers, surface cleaners, beauty care products, dish care products, diapers, feminine protection articles, and plastic films for garbage bags. Such malodor control technologies do not unduely interfere with the scent of the perfumed or unperfumed situs that is treated with the malodor control technology.

The present invention relates to compounds of formula ##STR00001## wherein one R group is a hydrogen atom and the other is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-3 alkyl group; and each carbon-carbon double bond of said compound, independently from each other, can be in a configuration Z or E or a mixture thereof;
which are useful perfuming ingredients.

Compositions which are fragrant and contain at least a member set culled from a library of compositions, each being comprised of sub-combinations of selected terpenes. Fragrances that mimic that of various states of organic and synthetic aromatics including products, processes and those from non-combusted plant products, among other things, uniquitous products, processes, medicinals, and related moieties leverage databases of all known terpene groupings are offered for consideration, and have been provided, according to the instant teachings.
