The present invention relates to a multi-component fragrance dispensing apparatus comprising at least an aqueous based composition and a volatile solvent based composition, wherein the apparatus comprises two separate containers, two separate non-spray dispensers, and one exit orifice therein. Methods of using the apparatus for providing a longer lasting fragrance is also encompassed by the present invention.

Multi-component fragrance dispensing apparatus

A dispenser comprising a first reservoir in liquid communication with a first pump; a second reservoir in liquid communication with a second pump; exit orifice; and an actuator; wherein the first and second pumps are in liquid communication with the exit orifice; wherein the second pump is in liquid communication with the exit orifice; wherein said first and second pumps are in communication with the actuator; wherein the first reservoir comprises a first composition, comprising a volatile solvent and a first fragrance; wherein the second reservoir comprises a second composition, comprising a carrier and a plurality of microcapsules; wherein the exit orifice dispenses a first dose of the first composition and a second dose of the second composition; wherein the microcapsules have a volume weighted fracture strength from about 0.1 Mpa to about 25 Mpa, and a median volume-weighted particle size from about 2 microns to about 80 microns.

Articles providing long lasting fragrances

A process for flushing a dispenser that dispenses liquids, especially perfumes, containing microcapsules. The dispenser has a first reservoir for a first composition containing microcapsules and a second reservoir for a second composition containing a volatile solvent. The dispenser also has a swirl chamber and a premix chamber. The process simultaneously pumps the first and second compositions into the premix chamber and then into the swirl chamber. The pumping of the first composition is halted while the pumping of the second composition continues, and this provides an extra volume of the volatile solvent, which flushes the dispenser to prevent clogging by the microcapsules.

Flushing dispensers for delivering a consistent consumer experience

A method of providing a longer lasting fragrance and a kit for delivering a longer lasting fragrance by dispensing microcapsules and a volatile solvent is provided.

An assembly for flushing a dispenser that internally mixes a first composition and a second composition; dispensers including said assemblies are also provided.

In order to prevent the buildup of residual damaged microcapsules within a dispenser, the dispensers described herein are customized to allow for a flushing of the components of the mixture in order to remove any residual microcapsules that have come into contact with the volatile solvent.

A dispenser for applying at least two compositions, the dispenser including at least two reservoirs for storing the at least two compositions, at least two pumps for pumping the at least two compositions, a premix chamber for mixing the two compositions, at least two channels for delivering the compositions from the reservoirs to the premix chamber, an exit orifice, optionally a swirl chamber, and an actuator.

An aqueous depilatory composition comprising a thioglycolate salt and a fluoride ion source.

Effective depilatory article

A fiber treatment composition is presented comprising organomodified silicones having defined physico-chemical properties and a additive which allows the organomodified silicone to be retained on the hair over longer periods of time than traditionally has been the case. The present composition finds particular application on hair that has been damaged through chemical treatments, such as occurs during permanent dyeing, bleaching and permanent waving.
