The present invention belongs to the area of body odour modelling. In particular, the developed synthetic compositions of the present invention reconstitute human body odours, especially those arising from axillary perspiration. The use of the compositions herein allows for the evaluation of malodour masking effects of fragrant compositions in the field of personal care or homecare products and cosmetic product development.

Artificial sweat composition

Deodorant compositions are disclosed comprising a cross-adapting agent, alone or in combination with other such agents, in an amount effective to reduce perception of malodor. Deodorant compositions are also disclosed comprising a cross-adapting agent, alone or in combination with other such agents, in an amount effective to reduce perception of gender-specific malodor. The methods feature reducing perceived body odor comprising administering a deodorant composition wherein the composition comprises an amount of cross-adapting agent effective to reduce perception of such odor. Other methods feature blocking perceived body odor comprising administering a deodorant composition wherein the composition comprises an amount of cross-adapting agent effective to occupy an odorant receptor site, thereby blocking interaction of the site with other odorants. Methods of making deodorant compositions are also provided wherein a cross-adapting agent, alone or in combination with other such agents, are included in an amount effective to reduce perception of malodor.

Olfactory adaptation and cross-adapting agents to reduce the perception of body odors

Methods and compositions for reducing animal waste malodor using agents and cross-adapting agents are described.

Use of odor reducing and cross-adapting agents to reduce animal waste malodors

It has now been found that cross-adaptation may occur between two structurally-similar compounds with qualitatively different odors. The perceived intensity of a malodor, for example, underarm sweat, may be decreased by cross-adaptation to at least one ester compound structurally similar to a component of such sweat. Such structurally similar compounds may be used in methods for decreasing the perceived intensity of a malodor such as sweat, in products designed to cover the characteristic odor of sweat, and in methods for covering malodor.
