is known to the skilled person, for example, from the publication Perfumery and Essential Oil Record (1966), 57(7), 427-33, which also reveals an odour description of the compound of formula (I). The odour of the compound of formula (I) is described therein as minty of isopulegol and floral of geranium. In perfumery, however, the compound of formula (I) has so far not been used to any significant extent.


It is also known that the compound of formula (I) can be prepared from cyclopentanone and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, for example, by acetalization:

Fruit fragrances in particular play an important role in perfumery and are therefore in great demand in the perfume industry. In addition, there is a constant need to emphasize (accentuate) certain olfactory aspects of a fragrance substance or a fragrance substance mixture; in the case of fruit fragrances, this applies in particular to their natural freshness and radiance. There is also a constant need to mask or reduce certain olfactory aspects of a fragrance substance or a fragrance substance mixture, in particular sulphurous, artificial and metallic notes in the case of fruit fragrance substances.


The primary object was therefore to find (fragrance) substances or (fragrance) substance mixtures which meet the above-mentioned requirements, i.e. which are capable of emphasizing certain pleasant olfactory aspects of a (particularly fruity) fragrance substance/fragrance substance mixture and/or of masking or reducing certain unpleasant olfactory aspects of a (particularly fruity) fragrance substance/fragrance substance mixture.


This object is surprisingly solved by a fragrance substance mixture, preferably a perfume oil, comprising or consisting of the following components:

  • (a) Compound of formula (I)

and additionally

  • (b) one or more fragrance substance(s), preferably with a fruity olfactory note, selected from the group consisting of esters, lactones, oximes and sulphur compounds with a molar mass of 240 g/mol or less


    and/or
  • (c) one or more fragrance substance(s), selected from the group consisting of acetals, ketones and ethers, with a molar mass in the range of 126-240 g/mol.


Fragrance substance mixtures according to the invention are preferably liquid at 25° C. and 1013 hPa and are usually homogeneous solutions.


According to one embodiment, the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention may comprise or consist of the components (b) and (c) in addition to the component (a). According to a further, alternative embodiment, the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention may comprise or consist of either only component (b) or only component (c) in addition to component (a).


Surprisingly, in a fragrance substance mixture according to the invention, the compound of formula (I) has the effect of emphasizing certain (pleasant) olfactory aspects of the fragrance substance(s) of component (b) and/or the fragrance substance(s) of component (c) and/or of masking or reducing certain (unpleasant) olfactory aspects thereof. In particular, sulphurous, artificial and/or metallic notes of the fragrance substance(s) of components (b) and/or (c) are effectively masked or reduced by the compound of formula (I).


Surprisingly, it has also been shown that the compound of formula (I) has, in addition to its primary sensory properties, additional positive secondary properties, such as high stability under certain conditions of use, preferably in alkaline media (washing powder, fabric softener, soap, shampoo, etc.).


In a fragrance substance composition (e.g. a perfume oil) according to the invention, the person skilled in the art will select the proportion of component (a), i.e. the proportion of the compound of formula (I), in such a way that the desired effect of emphasizing (highlighting) and/or masking or reducing of an olfactory note is achieved, taking care not to use too large an amount of component (a) which could dominate the overall sensory impression of a fragrance substance mixture, and on the other hand not to provide only such a small amount of component (a) that an emphasizing and/or masking/reducing of olfactory aspects of fragrance substances of component (b) or (c) is not or hardly noticeable. For preferred concentration ratios, see the explanations below and the examples attached.


In fragrance substance mixtures according to the invention, the compound of formula (I) is of course used at least in such an amount that a sensory effect is achieved. A sensory effect is achieved by the presence of the compound of formula (I) if a comparative fragrance substance mixture which does not contain a compound of formula (I) with otherwise identical composition is assessed sensorially differently from the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention.


Preferably the compound of formula (I) is used in a fragrance substance mixture according to the invention in such a concentration that the sensory impression of the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention is more natural, fresh, fruity, more radiant, less sulphurous, artificial and metallic than the sensory impression of a comparative fragrance substance mixture which does not contain a compound of formula (I) with otherwise identical composition.


Component (b) of the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention, if present, comprises one or more fragrance substances selected from the group consisting of esters, lactones, oximes and sulphur compounds having a molar mass of 240 g/mol or less. Preferably these fragrance substances have a fruity olfactory note. Such fragrance substances are known to the skilled person; esters, lactones, oximes and sulphur compounds (also those with a fruity olfactory note) represent a very important group of fragrance substances in perfumery.


Surprisingly, the sensory properties of fragrance substances of component (b) are positively influenced by combination with an amount of the compound of formula (I). In individual cases, the sensory impression is preferably shifted in the direction of more natural, fresh, more radiant, less sulphurous, artificial and metallic, although other sensory influences can of course also be observed in individual cases. Detailed descriptions of odours can be found in the attached examples.


The fragrance substances of component (c), if present, regularly function as base notes of a fragrance substances mixture according to the invention or a perfume oil according to the invention. The fragrance substances of component (c) of the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention are acetals, ketones and ethers, with a molar mass in the range of 126-240 g/mol.


If certain fragrance substances contained in the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention have several functional groups, so that they exceptionally fall under component (b) and component (c) at the same time, these are preferably assigned—in particular for the purpose of determining the preferred amounts or mass ratios described herein—50% by weight to component (b) and 50% by weight to component (c), unless indicated otherwise in individual cases.


Fragrance substance mixtures according to the invention, in particular perfume oils according to the invention, can be used in liquid form, undiluted or diluted with a solvent for perfuming or aromatizing. Suitable solvents for this purpose are in particular ethanol, glycerol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,2-butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, diethyl phthalate, triethyl citrate, isopropyl myristate and triacetin.


Ethers and esters having a molar mass of 240 g/mol or less are not counted as components (b) or (c) provided that they are a compound selected from the group consisting of dipropylene glycol, diethyl phthalate and triacetin.

Furthermore, fragrance substance mixtures according to the invention, in particular perfume oils according to the invention, may be adsorbed on a carrier which ensures both a fine distribution of the fragrance substances contained therein in the product and a controlled release during use. Such carriers may be porous inorganic materials such as light sulphate, silica gels, zeolites, gypsum, clays, clay granules, aerated concrete, etc. or organic materials such as woods, cellulose-based materials, sugars, dextrins (e.g. maltodextrin) or plastics such as PVC, polyvinyl acetates or polyurethanes.


Fragrance substance mixtures according to the invention, in particular perfume oils according to the invention, can also be present microencapsulated, spray-dried, as inclusion complexes or as extrusion products and can be added in this form e.g. to a perfumed product (as described further below).


If necessary, the properties of the compositions modified in this way can be further optimised by so-called “coating” with suitable materials with a view to more targeted fragrance release, preferably using waxy plastics such as e.g. polyvinyl alcohol.


The microencapsulation of the fragrance substance mixtures according to the invention, preferably of the perfume oils according to the invention, can be carried out, for example, by the so-called coacervation process using capsule materials, e.g. made of polyurethane-like substances or soft gelatine. The spray-dried fragrance substance compositions can be produced, for example, by spray-drying an emulsion or dispersion containing the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention, preferably a perfume oil, whereby modified starches, proteins, dextrin and vegetable gums can be used as carriers. Inclusion complexes can be prepared, for example, by incorporating dispersions of the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention, preferably a perfume oil according to the invention, and cyclodextrins or urea derivatives in a suitable solvent, e.g. water. Extrusion products can be obtained by fusing a fragrance substance mixture according to the invention, preferably a perfume oil according to the invention, with a suitable waxy substance and by extrusion with subsequent solidification, if necessary in a suitable solvent, e.g. isopropanol.


A fragrance substance mixture according to the invention as described herein, wherein component (b) comprises two, three, four, five or more different fragrance substances and/or component (c) comprises two, three, four, five or more different fragrance substances, is preferred.


Particularly preferred is a fragrance substance mixture according to the invention as described herein, wherein the mass ratio of the total amount of fragrance substance(s) of component (b), if present, to the compound of formula (I) is greater than or equal to 40:60, preferably greater than or equal to 80:20, more preferably greater than or equal to 99:1, and/or the mass ratio of the total amount of fragrance substance(s) of component (c), if present, to the compound of formula (I) is greater than or equal to 60:40, preferably greater than or equal to 80:20, more preferably greater than or equal to 90:10.


Our own investigations have shown that these mass ratios are particularly advantageous. At these mass ratios, the intrinsic odour of the compound of formula (I) is regularly no longer or hardly perceptible, but the presence of the compound of formula (I) has a positive effect on the overall note of the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention. It is particularly surprising that the compound of formula (I), even in low concentrations, has an effect on the freshness and radiance of the fragrance substance mixture according to the invention, without itself producing or emphasizing a fruity odour to any relevant degree.
