The polymeric nanoparticles including olfactive components have a glass
temperature of >50.degree. C. They are obtainable by continuously
adding a monomer component and an olfactive component to an aqueous
solution. The aqueous solution comprises a first initiator and an
emulsifier. The added components are distributed in the aqueous solution
to obtain reaction mixture while the polymerization of the monomer
component is started at the first temperature. The liquid monomer
component and the olfactive component are added continuously while a
second initiator is added dropwise to the reaction mixture and the first
temperature is maintained. After terminating the addition of liquid
monomer component and the olfactive component the temperature of the
reaction mixture is increased to a second temperature and a third
initiator is added dropwise.
