The present invention is directed to a pro-fragrance compound selected from
the group consisting of an acetal, a ketal, and mixtures thereof, wherein
at least one of a parent aldehyde, ketone, or alcohol of the pro-fragrance
acetal or ketal is a fragrance compound, having a ClogP of less than about
4. The ClogP is the logarithm to the base 10 of the octanol/water
partition coefficient of the pro-fragrances. Further disclosed are
detergent compositions comprising the pro-fragrance compound of the
present invention and detersive surfactants.
