Description

The present invention relates to textile treatment articles. In particular, the present invention relates to improved convenience textile treatment articles.

Clear softeners can provide aesthetic value in appearance. In the transparent softening agent, a composition obtained by dissolving a cationic surfactant or silicone in a solvent is used as the softening base. A feature of these compositions is that the amount of the organic solvent compounded is larger than that of the emulsified composition in order to obtain a transparent composition, so that the fragrance is highly soluble.
A method of using a fragrance composition filled in a separate container is disclosed when a consumer himself/herself tries to adjust a favorite fragrance according to his or her mood (Patent Document 1). However, since transparent softeners have a high solubility of perfume, even if the perfume is added excessively, there is no change in appearance, resulting in a too strong scent, making it difficult to create the desired scent. .

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-23776

In view of the above background, it is desirable to provide a composition that consumers can perceive from its appearance and a method for using the composition so that a desired scent can be obtained when mixing a transparent softening agent and a fragrance composition filled in a separate container. Make it an issue.
