First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A composition comprising:
(i) a fragrance component present in an amount of from about 0.04 wt % to about 30 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition, and wherein the fragrance component comprises:
(a) methyl jasmonate present in an amount of from about 10 wt % to about 30 wt %, relative to the total weight of the fragrance component;
(b) ethyl phenyl acetate present in an amount of from about 40 wt % to about 80 wt %, relative to the total weight of the fragrance component; and
(c) ethyl butyrate present in an amount of from about 1 wt % to about 30 wt %, relative to the total weight of the fragrance component;

(ii) undecyl glucoside present in the amount of from about 0.1 wt % to about 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition;
(iii) a volatile solvent present in an amount of from about 50 wt % to about 80 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition; and
(iv) optionally water.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the volatile solvent is a branch or unbranched C1 to C10 alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group having at least one alcohol moiety.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a fine fragrance composition in the form of a perfume concentrate, a perfume, a perfume, an eau de toilette, an eau de perfume, or a cologne.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is in the form of a body splash or a body spray.

5. A method for imparting, intensifying, or modifying an odour on human skin or human hair, comprising applying to human skin and/or human hair the composition according to claim 1 .
