Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The various aspects presented herein relate to the field of perfumery. In particular, the present disclosure provides compositions having an increased and/or improved long-lastingness and/or fragrance profile. In addition, the present disclosure provides methods of using such compositions to increase and/or improve the long-lastingness and/or fragrance profile of a fragrance composition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition: wherein the composition comprises: a. ethanol, in an amount from 30 to 75 wt % relative to the total weight of the composition; b. a fragrance component present in an amount from 0.04 to 40 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition, wherein the fragrance component comprises: i. a high volatility component an amount from 0.08 to 55 wt % of the fragrance component, comprising a. a first at least one perfume raw material having a first vapor pressure greater than 0.08 Torr at 22° C.; and optionally b. a second at least one perfume raw material having a first vapor pressure greater than 0.08 Torr at 22° C.; ii. a medium volatility component in an amount from 0.08 to 85 wt % of the fragrance component, comprising: a. a first at least one perfume raw material having a first vapor pressure range of 0.0008 to 0.08 Torr at 22° C.; and optionally b. a second at least one perfume raw material having a first vapor pressure range of 0.0008 to 0.08 Torr at 22° C.; and c. at least one modulator selected from the group consisting of: dodecanol; 3-Methyl-5-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-en-1-yl)pentan-2-ol; (E)-1,2-Dimethoxy-4-(prop-1-en-1-yl)benzene; Cyclopentadecanone; 3,7,11-trimethyl-1,6,10-dodecatrien-3-ol; 6,10-Dimethyl-3-oxa-9-undecenal; (4E,8E)-1,5,9-trimethyl-13-oxabicyclo[10.1.0]trideca-4,8-diene; 6-[(E)-pent-2-enyl]oxan-2-one; Aceticacid,(1-oxopropoxy)-, 1-(3,3-dimethylcyclohexyl) ethyl; 4-α,5-Dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4α,5,6,7-octahydro-7-keto-3-isopropenylnaphthalene; (+-)-(1E)-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-1,6-heptadien-3-one (A); (1E)-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-1,6-heptadien-3-one (B); Methyl 2-(3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl) ethanoate; hexyl 2-hydroxybenzoate; oxacyclohexadecan-2-one; 3-methylcyclopentadecan-1-one; cyclopentadec-4-en-1-one; (8E)-1-oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one; methyl 2-[(1R,2S)-3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl]acetate; methyl 2-[(1R,2R)-3-oxo-2-[(Z)-pent-2-enyl]cyclopentyl]acetate; 4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethyl-1,3,4,7-tetrahydrocyclopenta[g]isochromene; 6-heptyloxan-2-one; benzyl benzoate; (2E)-2-benzylideneheptanal; (2E)-2-benzylideneoctanal; (9Z)-cycloheptadec-9-en-1-one; propan-2-yl tetradecanoate; and combinations thereof; in an amount from 5.0 to 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition; wherein the first vapor pressure of the at least one first perfume raw material of the high volatility component is determined in the absence of the at least one modulator; wherein the first vapor pressure of the at least one second perfume raw material of the high volatility component is determined in the absence of the at least one modulator; wherein the at least one modulator changes the first vapor pressure of the at least one second perfume raw material of the high volatility component to a second vapor pressure; wherein the second vapor pressure of the at least one second perfume raw material of the high volatility component is in the range of 0.0008 to 0.08 Torr at 22° C.; wherein the first vapor pressure range of the at least one first perfume raw material of the medium volatility component is determined in the absence of the at least one modulator; wherein the first vapor pressure range of the at least one second perfume raw material of the medium volatility component is determined in the absence of the at least one modulator; wherein the at least one modulator changes the first vapor pressure range of the at least one second perfume raw material of the medium volatility component to a second vapor pressure; and wherein the second vapor pressure of the at least one second perfume raw material of the medium volatility component is less than 0.0008 Torr at 22° C. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fragrance component present in an amount from 0.04 to 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises water, in an amount of less than or equal to 15 wt % relative to the total weight of the composition. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises water, in an amount 5 to 15 wt % relative to the total weight of the composition. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises water, in an amount 0 to 5 wt % relative to the total weight of the composition. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one modulator is in an amount from 6.0 to 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one modulator is in an amount from 7.0 to 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition. 8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one modulator is in an amount from 8.0 to 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition. 9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one modulator is in an amount from 9.0 to 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition. 10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one modulator is in an amount from 10.0 to 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition. 11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one modulator is in an amount from 11.0 to 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition. 12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises at least one hydrophilic solvent. 13. The composition of claim 8 , wherein the at least one hydrophilic solvent is selected from the group consisting of: propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, ethylene glycol, triethyl citrate, disiopropyl glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether; triacetin, methylmethoxybutanol, benzyl alcohol, propylene glycol n-butyl ether; a glycol ether, an ester of diethylene glycol, and a cellosolve derivative. 14.
