Description

  The present invention relates to a fragrance composition used when flavoring cosmetics and daily necessities, and in particular, cosmetics used in the bathroom such as bath additives, shampoos, rinses, body soaps, and fragrance cosmetics such as perfumes and colons. Further, the present invention relates to a fragrance composition that has a natural hot spring scent and can improve a relaxed feeling by adding flavor to an indoor fragrance.

  About the feeling of relaxation in the hot spring area, the natural environment of the hot spring area, the environmental change (translocation therapy), or the physical stimulation of the hot spring water, such as the appropriate temperature and buoyancy, water flow, or It is thought that chemical trace components in hot spring water are acting in a comprehensive manner, but we think that the scent of hot spring water also contributes to the relaxed feeling in Japan. We have been eagerly studying the aroma of the source water.

On the other hand, as for the application of hot springs to cosmetics, methods such as using hot spring water itself in cosmetics (see Patent Document 1) and using chemical trace components in hot spring water in cosmetics, especially bathing agents, are adopted. Although it has been (see Patent Document 2), there has never been anything that focuses on the scent of hot spring water. As a scent component of a bath agent, as seen in Patent Document 3, a combination of a dialkyl sulfide and an ester having a vapor pressure of 20 μHg or more at 20 ° C., a combination of a dialkyl sulfide and a monoterpene, sesquiterpene, or a derivative thereof. Aqueous compositions such as bathing agents can be seen, but these inventions are intended to prevent the fragrance from deteriorating, and the sulfur-containing compounds and sesquiterpene compounds used are different, so that the scent of hot spring water cannot be said.

Less than 10 people / 50 people

(Relaxation improvement test method)
Measurement was performed using an HSK central rhythm monitor developed by Yoshiyuki Yoshida. Electroencephalogram electrodes were attached to two frontal regions of Fp1 and Fp2 according to the international 10-20 method, and the frontal brain waves were recorded using the right earlobe as the ground and the left earlobe as the reference electrode. An average fluctuation spectrum for 102.4 seconds is obtained for the recorded electroencephalogram, an inflection point is obtained from the obtained fluctuation spectrum for each part, a slope coefficient of a low frequency band is calculated from the inflection point, and the fluctuation is calculated. Rhythm coefficient was used. In general, it is said that the fluctuation coefficient of the left frontal head is closer to -1, the better the emotional state is, the more comfortable the comfortable state is, and the closer the value is to 0, the worse the emotional state is. Further, it is said that the fluctuation coefficient of the right frontal head is closer to -1, the lower the arousal feeling is, the more sedated, and the closer to 0, the more awake. Therefore, when the values of Fp1 and Fp2 both changed in the -1 direction as compared with the blank value and both values were larger than 0.5, it was evaluated that “relaxation was improved”.

  The fragrance presentation method at the time of the test of the relaxed feeling improvement degree test method performed in the present Example is described below. The scent is diluted to 1% with triethyl citrate, 1 g is put into an odorless glass container with an air inlet and outlet, and odorless dry air is put into the container at a flow rate of 1 liter per minute from the air inlet, Further, the scent was guided to the funnel placed about 10 cm ahead of the subject's nasal cavity and presented to the subject. In the case of blank conditions, odorless granular activated carbon was put in an odorless glass container to show odorless air. After entering the laboratory, the subject put on the electrode and sat down on a chair installed in the shield room, and then started the experiment. An electroencephalogram was measured under a blank condition in a state of resting eyes, and then an electroencephalogram was measured under a scent presentation condition.

  Table 1 shows the flavor formulation A, flavor formulation B, flavor formulation C, Table 2 shows the flavor formulation D, Table 3 shows the flavor composition formulations of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and the natural hot spring aroma. The result of the confirmation test and the result of the relaxation improvement test are described. As is apparent from Table 3, it was confirmed that the fragrance compositions of Examples 1 to 6 have a fragrance that can image the scent of a natural hot spring and improve the feeling of relaxation. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, the prescription amount is described in mass%.

(Bathing agent evaluation test method)
Ten subjects were bathed in hot water using a bathing agent blended with Examples or Comparative Examples, and the relaxed feeling during bathing and the relaxed feeling after bathing were evaluated.

Each component shown in Table 4 was mixed and stirred for 30 minutes by a conventional method using a ribbon mixer, and Examples 7 to 9 and Comparative Examples 4 to 6 using the fragrance composition formulations of Examples 4 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were used. A bath agent composition was prepared. Next, 30 g of each bathing agent was dissolved in 180 L of hot water of 41 degrees Celsius, and 10 subjects took a bath for 10 minutes, and an evaluation test was performed with respect to a feeling of relaxation during and after bathing.

  Table 4 shows the results of bathing agent evaluation tests during and after bathing. As shown in Table 4, the bath agents (Examples 7 to 9) using the fragrance compositions of Examples 4 to 6 were superior to the comparative examples over all items.
