Perfumes with different fragrances have been used for thousands of years. The industrial production of essential oils and the synthesis of odorous substances improved both their availability and range of application. Perfumery focuses on the creation of new fragrances, which sometimes are composed of more than 100 individual components, and on fixing the base note in order to increase clinging and adhesion to the user's skin. Since perfumes have become a mass product, users wish to have different fragrances at their disposal and to be able to rapidly change the fragrance in some cases. Up to now, the only possibility for the user to do so consists in taking along several different perfumes and using them according to his/her wishes.
There is a significant unmet need for new fragrances that can be customized by the individual to reflect the individual's personal preferences. The present disclosure fulfills these and other needs, as evident in reference to the following disclosure.

These and other objects of the invention are described in the following paragraphs. These objects should not be deemed to narrow the scope of the invention.
In the following description, certain specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various embodiments. However, one skilled in the art will understand that the invention may be practiced without these details. In other instances, well-known structures have not been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring descriptions of the embodiments. Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims which follow, the word “comprise” and variations thereof, such as, “comprises” and “comprising” are to be construed in an open, inclusive sense, that is, as “including, but not limited to.” Further, headings provided herein are for convenience only and do not interpret the scope or meaning of the claimed invention.
Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” or “some embodiments” or “a certain embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Thus, the appearances of the phrases “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment” or “in some embodiments” or “in a certain embodiment” in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
Also, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise.
As used herein, “a fragrance construct” refers to a concept used to visualize a fragrance's life-cycle and includes, e.g., a fragrance pyramid (including a classical fragrance pyramid, a bottom-heavy fragrance pyramid, and a top-heavy fragrance pyramid) or a fragrance diamond.
As used herein, “a fragrance pyramid” classically has three levels, as shown in
In some embodiments, the fragrance pyramid comprises a top-heavy scent pyramid wherein the low volatility perfuming compounds are present in an amount of from about 1 wt % to about 30 wt % relative to the total weight of the fragrance; the moderate volatility perfuming compounds are present in an amount of from about 25 wt % to about 65 wt % relative to the total weight of the fragrance, and the high volatility perfuming compounds are present in an amount of greater than about 30 wt % relative to the total weight of the fragrance. See, PCT application number PCT/US18/43700.
In some embodiments, the fragrance pyramid comprises a bottom-heavy scent pyramid wherein the low volatility perfuming compounds are present in an amount of greater than about 30 wt % relative to the total weight of the fragrance; the moderate volatility perfuming compounds are present in an amount of from about 30 wt % to about 70 wt % relative to the total weight of the fragrance, and the high volatility perfuming compounds are present in an amount of from about 0.1 wt % to about 30 wt % relative to the total weight of the fragrance. See, PCT application number PCT/US18/43721.
As used herein, “a fragrance diamond” means a fragrance formulation as shown in
As used herein, “accord” refers to the basic character of a fragrance composition.
As used herein, the term “odor descriptor” or “olfactive note” or “note” refers to a description of the odor character of a fragrance or a perfuming compound. Several procedures for describing odor characters are known. See, e.g, M. Zarzo and David Stanton in Attention, Perception and Psychophysicy, 2009, 71(2) 225-247.
As used herein, a “scent family” is a group of olfactive notes of a fragrance wheel that give a similar or common olfactory impression, e.g. a “fresh”, “floral”, “oriental”, or “woody”. The fragrance wheel may be a fragrance wheel according to Michael Edwards. See, e.g.,
As used herein, the term “contrasting notes” is meant to designate olfactive notes belonging to scent families that are distant from one another. Olfactive notes adjacent to each other on the fragrance wheel are not considered contrasting olfactive notes. However, olfactive notes separated by at least one adjacent olfactive note are considered contrasting olfactive notes, wherein the degree of contrast is directly proportional to the degree of separation.
As used herein, the term “perfuming ingredient” or “perfuming compound” refers to a compound having the primary purpose of conferring or modulating an odor. The skilled person is able to select the nature and type of the perfuming ingredients on the basis of its general knowledge and according to intended use or application and the desired effect. In general terms, perfuming ingredients belong to chemical classes as varied as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, ethers, acetates, nitriles, terpenoids, nitrogenous or sulphurous heterocyclic compounds and essential oils, and said perfuming co-ingredients can be of natural or synthetic origin. See, e.g., S. Arctander, Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, 1969, Montclair, N.J., USA, or its more recent versions, or in other works of a similar nature. See also, U.S. Pat. No. 4,534,891 and Perfumes, Cosmetics and Soaps, Second Edition, edited by W. A. Poucher, 1959, or its more recent versions.
As used herein, “classic” refers to a fragrance that has been widely accepted and enjoyed popularity for a minimum of 10 years.
As used herein, “commercial” refers to a fragrance that currently is or previously has been available for purchase by the general public.
As used herein, the terms “modulator” and “fixative” are used interchangeably to designate an agent having the capacity to affect the fragrance profile, such as, for example, by impacting the fragrance materials' evaporation rate. The modulator may mediate its effect by lowering the vapor pressure of the fragrance materials and increasing their adherence to the substrate (skin and/or hair) thus ensuring a longer-lasting impression of the fragrance. By incorporating the modulator, it is desired that the fragrance profile, like the volatile fragrance materials components, of the composition can be perceived by an observer or user thereof, over a longer period of time, as compared to the same perception in the absence of the modulator. In certain embodiments, the modulators are used with a reduced level of low volatile fragrance materials (i.e., a fragrance material having a vapor pressure <0.001 Torr at 25° C.)
As used herein, the term “co-modulator” means an agent that is added to the composition in addition to the modulators and has the similar function of impacting the evaporation rate and intensity of the fragrance materials, so as to improve or prolong the perception of the fragrance profile by the consumer. Examples of co-modulators include, without limitation, isocetyl alcohol (e.g., CERAPHYL ICA; see PCT Publication No. WO2013/64412 (Firmenich)), PPG-3 myristyl ether (e.g., Tegosoft APM and/or Varonic APM), Neopentyl glycol diethylhexanoate (e.g., Schercemol NGDO), and mixtures thereof.
As used herein, the term “non-odorous” means an agent that does not impart an odor of its own when added into an exemplary composition. For example, a “non-odorous fragrance modulator” does not impart a new odor that alters the character of the fragrance profile of the composition to which it is added. The term “non-odorous” also encompasses an agent that may impart a minimal or slight odor of its own when added into a composition of the present invention. However, the odor imparted by the “non-odorous fragrance modulator” is generally undetectable or tends to not substantively alter the character of the fragrance profile of the composition to which it is added initially or preferably over time. Furthermore, the term “non-odorous” also includes materials that are perceivable only by a minority of people or those materials deemed “anosmic” to the majority of people. Furthermore, the term “non-odorous” also includes materials that may, from particular suppliers, contain an odor due to impurities, such as when the materials contain the impurities at not more than about 5 wt %, preferably not more than 1 wt %, often even not more than 1 part per million (ppm). These impurities maybe removed by purification techniques known in the art as required to make them suitable for use in fragrance compositions described herein. For example, a “non-odorous modulator” such as PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether does not impart a new odor that alters the character of the composition to which it is added.
As used herein, the term “habituating” or “habituation” refers an individual or group who has decreased sensitivity to perceiving a fragrance or fragrance material. A fragrance or fragrance material is considered habituated when their Degree of Habituation (percent change in odor detection threshold or “ODT”) is greater than 150%, greater than 300%, greater than 500%, greater than 1000% according to the method described in the Test Methods section of this specification
As used herein, the term “Odor Detection Threshold” refers to the lowest vapor concentration of that material which can be olfactorily detected. The ODT is measured according to methods known in the art. See, e.g., US Patent Publication No. 2015/0322387.
As used herein, the term “vapor pressure” means the partial pressure in air at a defined temperature for a given chemical species. It defines a chemical species' desire to be in the gas phase rather than the liquid or solid state. The higher the vapor pressure the greater the proportion of the material that will, at equilibrium, be found in a closed headspace. It is also related to the rate of evaporation of a fragrance material which is defined in an open environment where material is leaving the system. The vapor pressure is determined according to the reference program Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD/Labs) Software Version 11.02, (1994-2013).
All percentages and ratios are calculated by weight unless otherwise indicated. All percentages and ratios are calculated based on the total composition unless otherwise indicated. As used herein, “about” means±20% of the stated value, and includes more specifically values of ±10%, ±5%, ±2% and ±1% of the stated value.
It should be understood that every maximum numerical limitation given throughout this specification includes every lower numerical limitation, as if such lower numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every minimum numerical limitation given throughout this specification will include every higher numerical limitation, as if such higher numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every numerical range given throughout this specification will include every narrower numerical range that falls within such broader numerical range, as if such narrower numerical ranges were all expressly written herein.

In some embodiments, the one or more modulators is an alkoxylated glucoside which can be selected, for example, from methyl glucoside polyol, ethyl glucoside polyol, and propyl glucoside polyol. In one example, the alkoxylated glucoside is PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether (GLUCAM P-20 available from Lubrizol, USA).
In some embodiments, the one or more modulators and optionally, the one or more co-modulators, are independently chosen from the modulators and co-modulators described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,814,661, US Patent Publication 20160362629, US Patent Publication 20160376525, US Patent Publication 20160362631, and US Patent Publication 20160362630.
In some embodiments, the effect additive choice comprises one or more entrapment materials. Suitable entrapment materials for use herein are selected from polymers; capsules, microcapsules and nanocapsules; liposomes, absorbents; cyclic oligosaccharides and mixtures thereof. Cyclic oligosaccharides can include PCT Publication Nos. WO2000/67721 (Procter & Gamble); and WO2000/67720 (Procter & Gamble); and U.S. Pat. No. 6,893,647 (Procter & Gamble)). The cyclic oligosaccharide may comprise any suitable saccharide or mixtures of saccharides. Examples of suitable saccharides include, but are not limited to, glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, maltose and mixtures thereof. A cyclic oligosaccharide comprises glucose. The cyclic oligosaccharides for use herein can include α-cyclodextrins or β-cyclodextrins, or mixtures thereof. The cyclic oligosaccharide, or mixture of cyclic oligosaccharides, for use herein may be substituted by any suitable substituent or mixture of substituents. Examples of cyclic oligosaccharides for use herein are α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, methyl-α-cyclodextrin, methyl-β-cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. A person skilled in the art will recognize that the levels of cyclic oligosaccharides will also be dependent on the components of the composition and their levels, for example the solvents used or the exact fragrance oils, or combination of fragrance oils, present in the composition.
In some embodiments, the effect additive choice comprises an anti-habituation material. In some embodiments, the anti-habituation material is chosen a) from about 0.0000001% to about 10% of a perfume raw material comprising a thiol moiety; b) from about 0.0000001% to about 10% of a perfume raw material comprising a sulfide moiety; c) from about 0.000001% to about 10% of a perfume raw material comprising a thiazole moiety; d) from about 0.0000001% to about 10% of a perfume raw material comprising an oxathiane moiety; e) from about 0.000001% to about 10% of a perfume raw material comprising oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen; f) from about 0.00000005% to about 5% of a perfume raw material comprising a pyrazine moiety; g) from about 0.00001% to about 20% of a perfume raw material comprising a nitrile moiety; h) from about 0.000001% to about 10% of a perfume raw material comprising an indole moiety; i) from about 0.00001% to about 10% of a perfume raw material comprising an oxime moiety; j) from about 0.00001% to about 20% of a perfume raw material comprising an amine moiety; k) from about 0.00000005% to about 5% of a perfume raw material comprising an isothiocyanate; 1) from about 0.00000005% to about 5% of a perfume raw material comprising a diamine moiety; and m) mixtures thereof, with the proviso that the sum of the percentage of the perfume raw materials cannot exceed 100%. In some embodiments, the effect additive choice is chosen from the anti-habituation materials described in US Patent Publication No. 2015322376.
