Abstract

Suggested is a method for improving the performance of a fragrance or a fragrance mixture, comprising or consisting of the following steps: (a) providing at least one fragrance capable of being thermos-activated; (b) optionally incorporating said at least one fragrance of step (a) into a cosmetic composition; (c) applying either said at least one fragrance of step (a) or said cosmetic composition of step (b) to human hair; and (d) exposing the hair to thermal treatment, wherein said at least one fragrance is selected from the group consisting of fragrances showing defined boiling points, Log P values and/or diffusivities.

Claims

1. A method for improving the performance of a fragrance or a fragrance mixture, comprising or consisting of the following steps: (a) providing at least one fragrance capable of being thermos-activated; (b) optionally incorporating said at least one fragrance of step (a) into a cosmetic or detergent composition; (c) applying either said at least one fragrance of step (a) or said cosmetic composition of step (b) to human hair; and (d) exposing the hair to thermal treatment, wherein said at least one fragrance is selected from the group consisting of fragrances showing (i) a boiling point (BP) of from about 100 to about 310° C.; and/or (ii) a Log P value of from about 1.0 to about 3.0; and/or (iii) a diffusivity of from about 7 to about 9; wherein said thermal treatment is hair drying and/or flat ironing, and/or curling iron.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one fragrance is selected from the group consisting of ACETANISOLE CRYST.
