Scented Container

Abstract

A container may comprise a source comprising a fragrance composition. The fragrance composition may diffuse from the source into an article-receiving cavity of the container. The fragrance composition may transfer to the contents of the container.

1 . A container comprising:
 a. a container body comprising a wall, said body defining an article-receiving cavity, wherein said wall comprises an interior surface facing towards said article-receiving cavity;   b. a source associated with a portion of said interior surface of said wall, said source comprising a fragrance composition; and   c. at least one fibrous substrate located within said article-receiving cavity, said at least one fibrous substrate comprising cellulosic fibers wherein said at least one fibrous substrate is substantially dry;   wherein said fragrance composition diffuses into said article-receiving cavity.   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said fragrance composition transfers to said at least one substrate. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said source comprises from about 5% to about 90% of said fragrance composition by weight of said source. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said fragrance composition comprises aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, esters or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said fragrance composition comprises aromatherapy adjuvants, natural materials or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said source is a hot melt adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 6  wherein said hot melt adhesive comprises:
 a. a copolymer of ethylene with at least another monomer comprising at least one heteroatom, and 
 b. greater than about 10% of a plasticizer comprising at least one heteroatom. 
 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said monomer comprising at least one heteroatom comprises a carbonyl group. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said monomer comprising at least one heteroatom comprises an ester group. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said plasticizer is selected from the group consisting of citric acid esters, low molecular weight polyesters, polyethers, rosin esters, aromatic sulfonamides, phthalates, benzoates, sucrose esters, derivatives of polyfunctional alcohols, adipates, tartrates, sebacates, esters of phosphoric acids, fatty acids, fatty diacids, fatty alcohols, fatty diols, epoxidised vegetable oils, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said copolymer is an ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer. 
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said copolymer is from about 5% to about 75% by weight of said hot melt adhesive. 
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said plasticizer is from about 10% to about 60% by weight of said hot melt adhesive. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said substrate is associated with a composition. 
     
     
         15 . The container of  claim 14  wherein said composition comprises a fragrance. 
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 15  wherein said fragrance is complimentary to said fragrance composition releasably comprised by said source. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said source is flexible. 
     
     
         18 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said at least one fibrous substrate is chosen from a tissue, and a paper towel.
