Patent ID: 8859487

Claim:
A granule containing (i) an inner portion forming a core, and (ii) a friable peripheral portion forming a shell, wherein the granule has an average diameter greater than about 4 mm, wherein the core is harder than the shell and comprises: a gum in an amount of from 5 to 50% by weight of the core, and an inert crystallized substance being talc in an amount from 20 to 80% by weight of the core, and wherein the friable shell has a composition different from the core and comprises: a binder containing a wax, wherein the wax is present in an amount of more than 1% by weight of the shell, fragrant compounds which are residues in dry form of a liquid perfume that has been dried, wherein the fragrant compounds are present in the shell in an amount resulting from having dried a mixture comprising the wax and liquid perfume, wherein the wax is present in an amount of from 30 to 50% by weight of the mixture before drying and liquid perfume is present in an amount of 40 to 70% by weight of the mixture before drying, and an inert carrier made of a powder, wherein said powder contains particles of a crystallised substance, wherein the powder is present in the shell in an amount such that the shell is less hard than the core, so that said friable peripheral portion disintegrates as a perfumed powder under a moderate friction or pressure that does not disintegrate the core.
