[0013]

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to only these Examples.

<Example 1> A questionnaire was given to 141 female panelists who were randomly gathered using a question scale on health / life, general mental and physical conditions, psychological condition, and body well known in the field of psychology. I was asked to answer my mental and physical condition. The question scale is shown in Table 1. At the same time, urine was collected and the amount of plasterone sulfate and the amount of hydrocortisol in the urine were determined. The quantification was performed using a measurement kit manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. Next, rosemary essential oil (42% by weight of 1,8-cineole) was added to these panelists.
And 13% by weight of pinene), essential oil of lemon (21% by weight of citronellal, 25% by weight of citral, 11% by weight of pinene), essential oil of peppermint (51% by weight of l-menthol, 11% by weight of pinene) and lavender essential oil (Linalool 13) % By weight, linalyl acetate 29% by weight,
(Containing 13% by weight of pinene), and asked them to select a scent by asking, "Which scent do you feel would enhance your vitality?" Table 2 summarizes the results of the questionnaire on psychology and physical condition according to the selected incense. From now on, the women who chose lemon and rosemary have their hearts irritated or frustrated,
Women who chose peppermint have severe body fatigue,
The heart is positive, and the woman who chose lavender shows that the heart and the body are in good condition or that chronic fatigue is high. In other words, in other words, lemon-like incense, rosemary-like incense has a high correlation with mental frustration or kuyokuyo, and peppermint-like incense has a high correlation with physical fatigue without mental fatigue. It can be seen that the lavender tone incense has a high correlation with the stressful chronic fatigue.
This is supported by the amount of plasterone sulfate in urine and the amount of hydrocortisol.

[0015]

[Table 1]

[0016]

[Table 2]

<Example 2> Based on the results of Example 1 above, the present inventors thought that the subject might have selected the incense that he needed, and to solve the frustration or kuyokuyo of the mind. Conducted a verification experiment based on the hypothesis that lemon-like scent or rosemary-like scent may work favorably. Further, in expressing such effects, pinene and citral, citronellol and 1,8-
We also tested the hypothesis that the combination of cineole might be important. That is, in the psychological scale of the questionnaire, 35 panelists whose mental irritation or kuyokuyo became an important issue were collected and divided into seven groups of five.
Each of these group panelists was massaged with a massage cream of the following formulation containing the fragrance composition shown in the table. Urine was collected before and after massage and the amount of hydrocortisol was quantified. From the amount of the hydrocortisol, an improvement rate = (amount of hydrocortisol before massage-amount of hydrocortisol after massage) / amount of hydrocortisol before massage * 100 was calculated. Table 3 shows the results. From this, the group irritated with the massage cream, which is a cosmetic for mental irritations and cucumbers of the present invention, reduces the amount of urinary cortisol, which is a psychological stress index, and responds to mental irritations and cucumbers. You can see that it is done. Such effects are also apparent from citral, citronellal and 1,8
-It can also be seen that it is a synergistic effect of the combination of cineole and pinene. (Formulation of massage cream) Squalane 30 parts by weight Isooctanoic acid triglyceride 30 parts by weight Cetanol 3 parts by weight Sorbitan sesquistearate 1 part by weight Polyoxyethylene (20) behenyl ether 1 part by weight 1,3-butanediol 5 parts by weight Methylparaben 0.2 Parts by weight Fragrance * 1 0.1 parts by weight Water 29.7 parts by weight * 1: Details are shown in Table 3.

[0018]

[Table 3]

<Example 3> Based on the same hypothesis as in Example 2, it was confirmed that peppermint-like scent was effective in solving only physical fatigue. That is, 18 panelists who had only a high physical fatigue scale in the questionnaire were divided into 6 groups per group and 3 groups, and massaged with the massage fee shown below. A questionnaire about recovery from fatigue
Rating 3: Very recovery, Rating 2: Clear recovery, Rating 1: Slight recovery, Rating 0: Evaluation was based on the criteria of no recovery. Table 4 shows the results. This shows that the cosmetic for body fatigue only according to the present invention is excellent in the action of improving body fatigue. Further, it can be seen that such an effect is nighttime due to the synergistic effect of the combination of pinene and menthol. (Formulation of massage cream) Squalane 30 parts by weight Isooctanoic acid triglyceride 30 parts by weight Cetanol 3 parts by weight Sorbitan sesquistearate 1 part by weight Polyoxyethylene (20) behenyl ether 1 part by weight 1,3-butanediol 5 parts by weight Methylparaben 0.2 Parts by weight Fragrance * 2 0.1 parts by weight Water 29.7 parts by weight * 2: Table 4 shows details.

[0020]

[Table 4]

<Example 4> Similar to Example 2, the hypothesis that a cosmetic containing lavender-like scent was effective in improving stress-induced chronic fatigue was examined by a panel test. That is, 24 panelists with chronic fatigue are selected from the psychological scale of the questionnaire, divided into 4 groups by 6 persons, and 1 group is massaged with a massage charge which is a cosmetic for chronic fatigue according to the present invention. The amount of hydrocortisol was measured by the same procedure as in Example 2, and the improvement rate was determined. The remaining three groups performed the same operation with one in which lavender essential oil was replaced with pinene, and the first group performed the same operation with one in which lavender essential oil was replaced with linalool, and one group performed with lavender essential oil using linalyl acetate. The same operation was performed in place of the above. Table 5 shows the results. This indicates that the cosmetic for chronic fatigue according to the present invention has an excellent effect of improving chronic fatigue. Furthermore, this effect is understood to be a synergistic effect of linalyl acetate, linalool and pinene. (Formulation of massage cream) Squalane 30 parts by weight Isooctanoic acid triglyceride 30 parts by weight Cetanol 3 parts by weight Sorbitan sesquistearate 1 part by weight Polyoxyethylene (20) behenyl ether 1 part by weight 1,3-butanediol 5 parts by weight Methylparaben 0.2 Parts by weight Fragrance * 3 0.1 parts by weight Water 29.7 parts by weight * 3: Table 5 shows details.

[0022]

[Table 5]

Example 5 Each of the following massage charge bases and four kinds of fragrance compositions were filled in a bottle to prepare a cosmetic set. Using this set, an actual use test was conducted by 50 panelists. That is, frustrated,
Fragrance composition 1 and / or 2
Is added to the massage charge on the hand and massage is performed with this. When the body is severely fatigued, the fragrance composition 3 is added to the massage charge on the hand and the massage is performed with this. When there was no physical fatigue, the fragrance composition 4 was added to the massage charge on the hand, and the massage was performed with this. After having been used in such a manner for 4 weeks, when asked whether the feeling of fatigue was improved or not compared to before use, 78% answered that it was improved. This shows that the cosmetic set of the present invention is useful for mental and physical fatigue. (Massage base) Squalane 30 parts by weight Isooctanoic acid triglyceride 30 parts by weight Cetanol 3 parts by weight Sorbitan sesquistearate 1 part by weight Polyoxyethylene (20) behenyl ether 1 part by weight 1,3-butanediol 5 parts by weight Methyl paraben 0.2 parts by weight Part Water 29.8 parts by weight (Fragrance composition 1) Lemon essential oil (containing 21% by weight of citronellal, 25% by weight of citral, and 11% by weight of pinene) (Fragrance composition 2) Rosemary essential oil (42% by weight of 1,8-cineole) (Perfume composition 3) peppermint essential oil (l-menthol 5)
