A substantially odorless aromatic amine trapping agent is used in a
composition including perfume for the purpose of enabling the perfume and
trapping agent to react chemically together spontaneously and reversibly
to form a reaction product form which the perfume can be released. In the
reaction product, the perfume may be protected against degradation,
premature evaporation etc., with the perfume being releasable from the
reaction product. In contrast to a pro-perfume, the reaction product
formed the present invention is not used by being included as such in a
mixture of perfumes or perfumed product, but instead the perfume and
trapping agent are included in a mixture of perfumes or perfumed product
where they react spontaneously in situ to form a transient reaction
product for subsequent release of the perfume. The invention also
provides a perfume composition including the trapping agent.
