  • the present invention also relates to a method for packaging and storing water-soluble film pouches.
  • Film pouches filled with washing and cleaning agent are frequently formed using water-soluble films; this has the advantage for the consumer that a corresponding pouch can be introduced into a washing machine, for example, without the need to open it.
  • the consumer From the area of the freely meterable preparation the consumer is accustomed to discerning the scent of the preparation, which usually contains scent compositions, on opening the package containing the preparation.
  • concentration of scent composition in these freely meterable preparations is usually very high, the scent impression is generally discerned by the consumer as intense, frequently also as so intense that the consumer perceives it to be unpleasant.
  • the comparatively high concentration of scent composition in washing and cleaning agents is however necessary in order to leave a scent impression on the washed or laundered items that is still discernable to the consumer. It is precisely the scent impression on the freshly washed or laundered item that is perceived by consumers as an essential quality criterion of a washing and cleaning agent.
  • scent impression or scent intensity of the product and that of the items treated therewith are significantly different.
  • Water-soluble portion pouches usually have the property that scent compositions from the preparations stored inside them are released to the environment poorly through the water-soluble film or are not released at all. Thus the scent impression of such preparations stored in water-soluble portion pouches cannot be discerned by a user. Since such water-soluble portion pouches usually have an unpleasant inherent odor, the scent impression of the portion pouches is regularly even perceived by the consumer as repellent.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to produce in a water-soluble film pouch a scent impression which substantially corresponds to the scent impression of an item freshly washed with the preparation stored in the water-soluble film pouch.

  • This scent composition has proved particularly suitable for bringing about a readily discernable transfer of scent firstly from the scent composition carrier to the film pouches and secondly from the washing or cleaning agent preparation to the surfaces, in particular fabric surfaces, to be cleaned, such that a scent impression is produced in a water-soluble film pouch which substantially corresponds to the scent impression of an item freshly washed with the preparation stored in the water-soluble film pouch.

An unwanted release of the scent composition from the closed container is prevented in this way. This is important because an uncontrolled scent release into the environment of the container is regularly perceived by users as unpleasant, in particular when buying and transporting such a package together with foodstuffs. Moreover, this ensures that as large as possible and as consistent as possible an amount of scent composition is available to scent the water-soluble film pouches.
