Described is a process for reducing a malodour formed as a result of fatty acid derivative degradation and/or organic amine degradation taking place in a fabric care base contained in a fabric article or in a cosmetic or therapeutic base adsorbed on the human epidermis by treating the base-bearing fabric article or base-bearing human epidermis with a synergistic mixture of t-butyl phenolic compounds which may also include at least one malodour-reducing fragrance component compatible with each of the phenolic composition components. Also described are novel compositions useful in carrying out the aforementioned process.

Substituted phenolic composition and process for using same for inhibiting malodours

Described is a process and compositions for counteracting human sweat malodor. The compositions containing at least 10 weight percent of either 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-nonadienenitrile or 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienenitrile. Additional ingredients may be added including napthyl methyl ether, methyl beta-naphthyl ketone, benzyl acetone, methanoinden propionates, methyl ionone, tetramethylnaphtho furan, ethylene glycol cyclic ester of dodecanedioic acid, 1-cyclohexadecen-6-one, 1-cycliheptadecen- 10-one, and corn mint oil. These compositions are applied to either fabric or a defined surface area of the human epidermis.

Human sweat malodor counteractant composition and process for using same

Described is a process for counteracting malodors including but not limited to pet malodor, tobacco malodor and mildew malodor comprising using as an additive to a base perfume composition a mixture consisting essentially of from about 20 up to about 60% musk, from about 30% up to about 70% citrus, and from about 1% up to about 20% mint. Adding from about 0.5% up to about 20% of such a malodor coverage formulation will yield from about a 10% up to about a 75% improvement in malodor neutralization efficacy; and a composition useful in such process.
