Abstract

Described herein is a stable perfuming composition including a perfume oil, a viscosifying agent including tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol, and a perfumery carrier including hexylene glycol.
Also described herein is the use of hexylene glycol in a composition including tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol and a perfume oil to prevent the crystallization of the composition.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A perfuming composition comprising:
a viscosifying agent comprising tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol,
a perfume oil comprising at least one perfuming ingredient,
at least one perfumery carrier comprising hexylene glycol, and
optionally, a perfuming adjuvant,
wherein the weight ratio between tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol and hexylene glycol in the perfuming composition is from 0.1 to 15.

2. The perfuming composition according to claim 1 comprising at least 5% by weight of tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol based on the total weight of the perfuming composition.

3. The perfuming composition according to claim 1 comprising up to 50% by weight of the perfume oil based on the total weight of the perfuming composition.

4. The perfuming composition according to claim 1 comprising up to 40% by weight of hexylene glycol based on the total weight of the perfuming composition.

5. The perfuming composition according to claim 1 , wherein the perfumery carrier further comprises at least one co-solvent selected from the group consisting of dipropylene glycol, glycerol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, D,L-1,2-isopropylidene glycerol, propanediol, butanediol and mixtures thereof.

6. The perfuming composition according to claim 5 , wherein the co-solvent is dipropylene glycol.

7. The perfuming composition according to claim 5 , wherein the co-solvent is used in an amount between 5 and 30% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

8. The perfuming composition according to claim 1 further comprising an aqueous phase.

9. The perfuming composition according to claim 8 , wherein the aqueous phase is used in amount between 0.01% and 1% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

10. The perfuming composition according to claim 1 , wherein the perfuming composition has a viscosity comprised between 500 and 5000 mPa·s at 20° C.

11. The perfuming composition according to claim 1 , wherein the perfumery adjuvant is selected from the group consisting of colors, preservatives, pH adjusters, antioxidants, chelating agents, UV filters, quenchers, silicon oils, and mixture thereof.

12. A consumer product comprising the perfuming composition as defined in claim 1 .

13. The consumer product of claim 12 , wherein the consumer product is in the form of a fine fragrance product or an air freshener.

14. A process for manufacturing a perfuming composition comprising the steps of:
(i) Heating tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol and
(ii) Cooling down the tricyclodecanedimethanol obtained in step i) before adding a perfume oil,
wherein hexylene glycol is added in step (i) or in step (ii), and
wherein the weight ratio between tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol and hexylene glycol in the perfuming composition is from 0.1 to 15.

15. The process according to claim 14 , wherein the tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol is heated at a temperature between 90° C. and 120° C.

16. The process according to claim 15 , wherein the tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol is heated at a temperature between 100° C. and 120° C.

17. The process according to claim 14 , wherein the tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol is heated at a temperature between 70° C. and 120° C.

18. A consumer product obtained by the process defined in claim 14 .

19. The consumer product of claim 18 , wherein the consumer product is in the form of a fine fragrance product or an air freshener.

20. A method of using hexylene glycol in a perfuming composition comprising tricyclodecanedimethanol alcohol and a perfume oil, the method comprising using the hexylene glycol to prevent crystallization of the perfuming composition.
