Abstract
Abstract The fragrance composition of this invention comprises the combination of a fragrance oil and a film-former which are mutually soluble in a water-ethanol solvent. Fragrance compositions of the aforedescribed type have an adequate odor strength when initially applied to a substrate (e.g., human skin), which odor strength is continued for a desirably long period of time after application.
