Oil in a concentration within the range of about 2 to 20% by weight;
a scent imparting constituent;
one or more surfactants effective for solubilizing the oil in the water and alcohol; particles dispersed uniformly throughout the perfume that impart one or more visual effects to the perfume viewable when the perfume is in a transparent vessel and a stabilizing agent comprising ammonium acryloyl dimethyltaurate/carboxyethyl acrylate crosspolymer; in a concentration effective for stabilizing rheology, viscosity, and particle suspension and imparting a capacity to make a misting spray pattern when the perfume is sprayed through a sprayer, wherein the one or more visual effects is not viewable when sprayed onto a surface.
2. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the ammonium acryloyl dimethyltaurate/carboxyethyl acrylate crosspolymer has a concentration of about 0.08 to 0.25 percent by weight.
3. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the scent imparting constituent is blended with the oil.
4. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is ethanol.
5. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the visual effect is a color that is black when viewed in the vessel.
6. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the particles impart a gradation of color.
7. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the particles impart two or more colors to the perfume observable when the fragrance is in a clear bottle.
8. The perfume of claim 1 , further comprising particles that impart an olfactory sensory experience to an end user.
9. The perfume of claim 8 , wherein the particles release a scent that is the same as the alcohol-based fragrance.
10. The perfume of claim 8 , wherein the particles release a scent that is different from the alcohol-based fragrance.
11. The perfume of claim 8 , wherein the particles release scent in a time-release fashion.
12. The perfume of claim 8 , wherein the fragrance is usable as aroma therapy.
13. The perfume of claim 1 , further comprising particles that impart a tactile sensory experience to an end user.
14. The perfume of claim 13 , wherein the particles impart a soft sensory experience.
15. The perfume of claim 13 , wherein the particles impart a cool or warm sensory experience.
16. The perfume of claim 13 , wherein the particles impart a minty sensory experience.
17. The perfume of claim 1 , further comprising particles that impart a conditioner to the skin of a user.
18. The perfume of claim 1 wherein the visual effect comprises a sparkle from light reflecting, glittering particles.
19. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the fragrance oil comprises one or more scent imparting constituents.
20. The perfume of claim 19 wherein the reflecting, light reflecting glittering particles are selected from one or more of titanium oxide, mica, other iron oxides such as yellow, red and brown, black and tin oxide.
21. The perfume of claim 1 wherein the visual effect comprises particles that include one or more of ferric ammonium ferrocyanide (blue), manganese violet, ultramarine blue, chrome oxide (green), 30 talc, lecithin modified talc, zeolite, kaolin, lecithin modified kaolin, titanium dioxide (white) and mixtures thereof.
22. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the visual effect comprises one or more pearlescents such as mica, bismuth oxychloride and treated micas, such as titanated micas and lecithin modified micas that include mica, coated with varying thickness of titanium dioxide and particles that include thin film optics imparting brilliant luster and a broad range of interference colors and multicolor effect.
23. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the visual effect comprises one or more particles that include tiny light emitting diodes, LED's, or luminescent materials that impart to a perfume formulation a capacity for emitting light, either continuously or intermittently.
24. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the visual effect comprises particles that include an interference pigment having a multilayer structure.
25. The perfume of claim 1 , wherein the particles impart a gradation of opacity observable when the fragrance is in a clear bottle.
