R′, R″ and R″, are independently selected from hydrogen or a C 1 to C 4 alkyl group, and
X is an anionic group;
b. 0.1 to 30 wt. % perfume ingredients; and
c. Water.

2 . The fabric conditioner composition according to claim 1 , wherein R is chosen from C 6 -C 17 alkyl and C 6 -C 17 alkenyl groups.

3 . The fabric conditioner composition according to claim 1 , wherein R is a C 10 -C 17 group.

4 . The fabric conditioner composition according to claim 1 , wherein Y is a methylene group.

5 . The fabric conditioner composition according to claim 1 , wherein R′, R″ and R′″ are methyl.

6 . The fabric conditioner composition according to claim 1 , wherein X is a halide anion and the charge is 1.

7 . The fabric conditioner composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition additionally comprises fabric softening active according to formula (VI)

Wherein
A is a tetravalent linker selected from the group consisting of A-1 to A-6

k, k′ k″, k′″ and k″″, are individually selected from 0, 1, 2 or 3,
Q 1 to Q 4 , are individually selected from the group consisting of R and X, R is as defined in claim 1 for the formula (I), X maybe individually selected from groups represented by formula (VII)

wherein two and only two of Q 1 to Q 4 are represented by X and two and only two of groups Q 1 to Q 4 are represented by R,
Y is as defined in claim 1 for the compound of formula (I),
R′, R″ and R′″, which may be the same or different at each occurrence, are as defined in claim 1 for the compound of formula (I), and
n and n′, which may be the same or different at each occurrence, are 0 or 1 with the sum of n+n′ being 1 or 2.

8 . The fabric conditioner composition according to claim 7 , wherein fabric softening active according to formula (VI) comprises fabric softening actives according to formula (V)

wherein R, may be the same or different and is as defined for the compound of formula (I),
Y, may be the same or different and is as defined for the compound of formula (I), and
R′, R″ and R″, may be the same or different and
are as defined in claim 1 for the compound of formula (I).

9 . The fabric conditioner composition according to claim 7 , wherein the fabric softening active (I) and fabric softening active (VI) are present in a mixture M Q , the amount of fabric softening active (I) in the mixture M Q is 10 wt. % to 90 wt. % of mixture M Q .

10 . The fabric conditioner composition according to claim 1 , wherein the compositions comprises 0.5 to 50 wt. % fabric softening active (I) or mixture of fabric softening active (I) and (VI).

11 . The fabric conditioner composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises perfume microcapsules.
