Patent ID: 7041337

Claim:
A method of applying a fragrance to a surface wherein the method comprises: a) applying to an area of the surface a first composition wherein the first composition comprises: i) at least one first fragrance oil; ii) at least one first cyclic oligosaccharide, wherein the first fragrance oil and the first cyclic oligosaccharide form a complex, which complex is dissolved or dispersed in the first composition; and iii) a first solvent, wherein the first solvent has a dielectric constant at 25° C. of greater than or equal to 43; b) simultaneously or sequentially, applying to the area or an area adjacent thereto a second composition wherein the second composition comprises: i) at least one second fragrance oil; ii) a second solvent, wherein the second fragrance oil is soluble or is dispersed at 25° C. in the second solvent; and iii) from about 0.1% to about 95%, by weight of the second composition, of at least one second cyclic oligosaccharide wherein said second cyclic oligosaccharide and said second fragrance oil do not form a complex; wherein the application of the second composition can be applied before or after the first composition to an area and wherein the first solvent and the second solvent have a composite dielectric constant, at 25° C., of greater than or equal to 43.
