The disclosure teaches a synergistic deodorant combination of citronellyl senecioate with 3-trifluoromethyl-4,4'-dichlorocarbanilide or 3,4,4'trichlorocarbanilide. The disclosure also teaches synergistic combinations of the foregoing ingredients with 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxy diphenyl ether. The foregoing ingredients show synergistic activity as deodorants in various combinations and concentrations as set out in the disclosure. The structures of the ingredients are shown below. ##STR1##

Synergistic deodorant compositions

A translucent deodorant non-germicidal soap bar incorporates selected citronellyl esters, and a suitable alcohol, especially those selected from polyalkylene glycols and/or liquid polyols, to make a soap composition that has superior lime soap dispersancy without loss of translucency, and, in at least one case, is both deodorant and non-germicidal. The polyols have a molecular weight between about 62 to about 342 and the polyalkylene glycols have a molecular weight between about 200 to about 4,000. An effective amount of citronellyl senecioate is added, preferably about 1% by weight. The preferred concentrations of the polyalkylene glycols and polyols range between about 0.5% to 5% by weight.
