The invention provides a method for improving release, on a surface, of a
fragrance from an entrapment structure of at least one fragrance oil and
at least one entrapment material. The method destabilizes the entrapment
structure by providing at least one trigger molecule which preferentially
associates with the entrapment material; and/or at least one release
agent which at least partially disrupts the entrapment structure.The
invention also provides a composition for improving release of a
fragrance from a surface. The composition comprises at least one
fragrance oil; at least one entrapment material, the at least one
fragrance oil and the at least one entrapment material being capable, in
use, of forming an entrapment structure on the surface. The composition
also comprises at least one destabilizing material, which permits
formation of the entrapment structure on the surface but which
destabilizing material can, in use, destabilize the entrapment structure
by providing at least one trigger molecule which preferentially
associates with the entrapment material; and/or at least one release
agent which partially disrupts the entrapment structure; and at least one
compatible solvent which doesn't interfere with the formation of the
entrapment structure on the surface.The present methods and compositions
can improve fragrance perception, by overcoming the differences in
fragrance perception that result from different surface, for example,
skin, hydration levels and/or different surface types.
