Abstract

Non-aqueous based fragrance compositions containing a siloxane material are disclosed. The fragrance compositions are suitable for many applications including cosmetics, laundry care and personal care items. The fragrance compositions can also be used in air fresheners, particularly those air fresheners that contain heating elements.

Claims (30)

1. A liquid, non-aqueous based fragrance composition having a viscosity of less than about 4 centipoise at 25° C. comprising:

from about 20 to about 30 weight percent of the fragrance composition having a vapor pressure of greater than about 0.3;

from about 15 to about 25 weight percent of the fragrance composition having a vapor pressure of from about 0.1 to about 0.3;

from about 15 to about 25 weight percent of the fragrance composition having a vapor pressure of from about 0.03 to about 0.1;

from about 3 to about 9 weight percent of the fragrance composition having a vapor pressure of from about 0.01 to about 0.03; and

less than about 10 weight percent of the fragrance having a vapor pressure of less than about 0.01;

and a siloxane oil from about 20 to about 30 weight percent of the fragrance composition.

2. The fragrance composition of claim 1 wherein the siloxane oil is selected from the group consisting of decamethyltetrasiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, hexamethyltetrasiloxane and polydimethylsiloxane.

3. A liquid, non-aqueous based fragrance composition comprising:

from about 23 to about 28 weight percent of the fragrance composition having a vapor pressure of greater than about 0.3;

from about 15 to about 20 weight percent of the fragrance composition having a vapor pressure of from about 0.1 to about 0.3;

from about 15 to about 20 weight percent of the fragrance composition having a vapor pressure of from about 0.03 to about 0.1;

from about 4 to about 6 weight percent of the fragrance has a vapor pressure of from about 0.01 to about 0.3; and less than about 5 weight percent of the fragrance having a vapor pressure of less than about 0.01; and

a siloxane oil from about 23 to about 28 weight percent of the fragrance.

4. An air freshener apparatus that contains the fragrance of claim 3 .

5. The air freshener apparatus of claim 4 that contains a heating element.

6. The air freshener apparatus of claim 4 that contains a piezo electric element.

7. A liquid, non-aqueous based fragrance composition comprising:

from about 9 to about 33 weight percent of the fragrance composition has a vapor pressure of greater than 0.3;

from about 11 to about 32 weight percent of the fragrance composition has a vapor pressure of from about 0.1 to about 0.3;

from about 14 to about 36 weight percent of the fragrance composition has a vapor pressure of from about 0.03 to about 0.1;

less than about 11 weight percent of the fragrance composition has a vapor pressure of from 0.01 to about 0.03; and

less than about 10 weight percent of the fragrance composition has a vapor pressure of less than about 0.01; and

a siloxane oil from about 14 to about 40 weight percent of the fragrance.

8. The fragrance composition of claim 7 wherein the fragrance composition has a viscosity of less than about 4 centipoise at 25° C.

9. The fragrance composition of claim 8 wherein the fragrance composition has a viscosity of from about 0.5 to about 1.5 centipoise at 25° C.

10. A method for providing fragrance to the environment comprising providing the fragrance composition of claim 7 to an air freshener.

11. An air freshener device that contains the fragrance of claim 7 .

12. The air freshener apparatus of claim 11 that contains a heating element.

13. The air freshener apparatus of claim 11 that contains a piezo electric element.
