Claim 0:
1. A dispensing package (1) for controlled delivery of a viscous composition on a target surface, the dispensing package (1) comprising:
(a) a dispensing applicator (2) including a container (4) including an interior chamber (12) for containing a viscous composition (14), and a dispensing head (6) disposed about at least a portion of the container (4) to define an outer end (8) of the container (4); and
(b) a viscous composition (14) disposed within the interior chamber (12);
wherein the dispensing head (6) comprises:
(i) a front surface (20) having a front surface centroid (22), wherein the front surface is flat or curved in a convex manner;
(ii) an opposing rear surface (24) having a rear surface centroid (26);
(iii) a plurality of dispensing orifices (30) extending therethrough, wherein the plurality of dispensing orifices (30) are spaced apart and in fluid communication with the viscous composition (14) contained within the interior chamber (12), wherein each of the plurality of dispensing orifices (30) includes a front open end (50) having a front centroid (52) on the front surface (20), a rear open end (54) having a back centroid (56) on the rear surface (24), and a dispensing orifice axis (400) extending through the front and back centroids (52, 56); and
(iv) a center axis (100) extending through the front surface centroid (22) and the rear surface centroid (24) and a plane (200) extending along the center axis (100);

wherein a first dispensing orifice (60) of the plurality of dispensing orifices (30) has a first dispensing orifice axis (600) inclined at a first orifice acute angle α1 (degrees) relative to the plane (200), so as to intersect the plane (200) at a first point (P1) above the front surface (20),
wherein the first orifice acute angle α1 is from 1 degree to 70 degrees.
