• Fragrance dispenser
  Schuehrer , et al. - Abstract
  A fragrance dispenser having a reservoir to receive an aroma carrier, the fragrances of
  which can escape at least partially through a dispensing opening when pressure is exerted
  onto the reservoir. The reservoir may have the shape of a bottle, wherein the dispensing
  opening, which is preferably designed as a snap-off opening, is disposed in the thinner
  region, i.e at the neck of the bottle. A packaging element preferably extends beyond the
  dispensing region of the reservoir, the packaging element being designed in that region
  in such a way that it interacts with a seal of the dispensing opening of the reservoir.
  The reservoir or packaging element may be designed as a free-standing package.

  the surfactant is above 78.degree. C. and a Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance (HLB)
  of the surfactant is in a range of about 5 to 16, a colorant, and a solvent. The fragrant
  agent can be a natural fragrant agent, a synthetic fragrant agent or a mixture thereof.

• Non-foaming water fountain method
  Just what we need -- another unidentified source of air pollutant perfume! - barb
  Ferguson , et al. Abstract
  A method adjusting the fragrance level in a room incrementally adds a fragrant,
  non-foaming emulsified composition to a fountain in the room. The composition
  has a siloxane anti-foam agent and water solution, a block co-polymer, denatured 200
  proof alcohol and fragrance oil. Alternative compositions contain a solubilized fragrance
  or an insoluble fragrance oil for adding to water. The compositions may be provided
  in a concentrated form, for addition to a pre-existing water supply in a recirculating
  fountain, or in a dilute form for use as the recirculating fluid in the fountain. The
  compositions are clear and do not foam when used in a recirculating fountain. The
  compositions provide fragrance at a release rate significantly greater than solid or gel
  air fresheners with the same concentration of fragrance. Methods of fragrancing a room
  with the compositions are disclosed as well.

  for use in deodorant products, personal products and laundry treatment products.

  compositions packaged in polyethylene bottles modified to preserve perfume integrity
  Woo , et al. - Abstract

  comprising surfactant, and a perfume which contains a substantial proportion of
  hydrophobic perfume ingredients having a ClogP of greater than 3. The bottles are
  made of high density polyethylene wherein the bottles have a continuous inner surface
  layer of nylon, polyetheneterephthalate or fluorinated polyethylene in order to prevent
  migration into and/or transmission through the high density polyethylene of the
  hydrophobic perfume ingredients.
