1. A fabric conditioning composition comprising:

(a) less than 7.5% by weight of a ester-linked quaternary ammonium fabric softening material comprising at least one mono-ester linked component and at least one tri-ester linked component;

(b) a fatty complexing agent;

wherein the weight ratio of the mono-ester linked component of compound (a) to fatty complexing agent (b) is about 5:1 to about 1:5; and

wherein the fatty complexing agent is tallow alcohol.

2. A composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the quaternary ammonium material is represented by formula (I):

wherein each R is independently selected from a C 5-35 alkyl or alkenyl group, R 1 represents a C 1-4 alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group or a C 2-4 alkenyl group,

T is

n is O or an integer selected from 1 to 4, m is 1, 2 or 3 and denotes the number of moieties to which it refers that pend directly from the N atom, and X − is an anionic group, such as halides or alkyl sulphates, e.g. chloride, methyl sulphate or ethyl sulphate.
