Abstract

The invention relates to a system ( 10 ) for dispensing a product, comprising a dispenser that can house at least two cartridges, each of which includes a reservoir containing a base product, a first base product comprising at least 0.1 wt.-% particles having a density differential relative to the medium containing same, preferably of at least 0.5 g/cm3, in particular particles having a density greater than or equal to 2 g/cm3, and a thickening agent. The dispenser allows at least two base products to be dispensed in adjustable proportions, the viscosity of the first base product being preferably greater than 2 Pa·s and more preferably greater than or equal to 4 Pa·s.

Claims (12)

1. A system for dispensing a perfumed product comprising a dispenser that receives a plurality of cartridges each containing a base product containing at least one odorous compound, respectively, the base products containing at least one odorous compound each comprising a composition containing at least one alcohol and at least one cellulose derivative obtained by reacting basified cellulose with propylene oxide or ethylene oxide, the base products containing at least one odorous compound having each at least 80% by mass of alcohol, a first base product and a second base product each containing at least one odorous compound, the odorous compound of at least two of the base products being different than the odorous compound from each other, the dispenser making it possible to deliver the base products in adjustable proportions to vary the olfactory note of the perfumed product depending on the proportions of base products in the perfumed product.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein each base product comprises at least 50% by mass of ethanol in a solvent phase.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one odorous compound is selected from the group consisting of esters, carbonates, acids, anhydrides, aldehydes, alcohols, aliphatic compounds without functions other than alkanes and alkenes, and mixtures thereof.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one odorous compound is selected from the group consisting of hexanal, octanal, nonanal, decanal, undecanal, dodecanal, tridecanal, 2-methyldecanal, 2-methylundecanal, trans-2-hexenal, cis-4-heptanal, 2,6 dimethyl-5-hepten-1-al, E-4-decenal, 10-undecenal, 2-dodecenal, 1,1-dimethoxy-2,2,5-trimethyl-4-hexene, 2-methyl-2-pentenoic acid, (S)-(+)-2-methylbutanoic acid, ethyl formate, cis-3-hexenyl formate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, hexyl acetate, 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl acetate, trans-2-hexenyl acetate, cis-3-hexenyl acetate, ethyl propionate, ethyl butyrate, butyl butyrate, isoamyl butyrate, hexyl butyrate, cis-3-hexenyl isobutyrate, ethyl isovalerate, ethyl-2-methyl butyrate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl 2-methyl pentanoate, 2-propenyl hexanoate, ethyl heptanoate, 2-propenyl heptanoate, ethyl octanoate, methyl 2-nonenoate, ethyl 2-trans-4-cis-decadienoate, methyl 2-octynoate, methyl 2-nonynoate, ethyl 3-octobutanoate, allyl amyl glycolate, Z-3-hexenyl methyl carbonate, 3-octanol; 2,6-dimethyl-2-heptanol, trans-2-hexen-1 ol; 3-hexen-1-ol; 1-octen-3-ol; 9-decen-1-ol; 10-undecen-1-ol; 2-trans-6-cis-nonadien-1-ol; 4-methyl-3-decen-5-ol, myrcene, ocimene, beta-Farnesene, citral, citral diethyl acetate, citronellal, methoxydihydrocitronellal, 2,6,10-trimethyl-9-undecanal, cis-geranic acid, citronellic acid, geranyl ester, neryl acetate, linalyl esters, citronellyl esters and esters of myrcenol, geraniol, nerol, linalool, myrcenol, lavendulol, citronellol, trans, trans-farnesol, trans-nerolidol, tetrahydrogeraniol, tetrahydrolinalool, avendulol, trans, trans-farnesol, trans-nerolidol, tetrahydrogeraniol, tetrahydrolinalool, limonene, terpinene, terpinolene, phellandrene, camphene, 3-carene, menthyl ester, alpha-terpinyl esters, noryl esters, bornyl esters, isobornyl esters, cedryl esters, 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde, 4-(4-hydroxy-4-methylpentyl)-3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde, 1-(4-isopropycyclohexyl)ethanol, 2-methyl-4-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)butanol, 2-methyl-4-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)butenol, 3-methyl-5-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)-4-penten-2-ol, 3,3-dimethyl-5-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)-4-penten-2-ol, indole, p-cymene, diphenylmethane, benzaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal, dihydrocinnamaldehyde, 2-phenylpropanal, cyclamen aldehyde, 2-methyl-3-(4-tert-butyl-phenyl)propanal, cinnamaldehyde, heliotropin, furfuraldehyde, benzyl esters, phenethyl esters, alpha-trichloromethylbenzyl ester, cinnamyl acetate, benzoate ester, phenylacetate ethyl, phenylacetate geranyl, methyl cinnamate, benzyl cinnamate, phenyl ethyl cinnamate, eugenol acetate, phenylacetic acid, benzyl alcohol, 2-phenyl ethyl alcohol, styrallyl alcohol, 2,2-dimethyl-3-(3-methylphenyl)propanol, cinnamyl alcohol, 3-methyl-5-phenylpentanol, thymol, anethole, isoeugenol, eugenol, anise alcohol, raspberry ketone, ethylmaltol, 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, 2-propylphenol, 2-(methylthio) phenol, ortho-guaiacol, 4-methyl guaiacol, abietic anhydride, and citraconic anhydride.
