The invention relates to a malodor reducing composition comprising:n at least one of (A) phenylglycidate represented by the following formula (1): nn n n n n n n n n n n n wherein R 1 is a C 1 -C 4 branched or linear alkyl group, R 2 is hydrogen or methyl, and R 3 is hydrogen, a C 1 -C 4 branched or linear alkyl group or a methoxyl group; n and (B) 1,2-diketone represented by the following formula (2) or (3): n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n wherein R 4 , R 5 and R 7 are each independently, a C 1 -C 5 linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group, R 6 is a (C 1 -C 5 ) alkylidene, R 4 and R 5 may form a C 4 -C 7 saturated or unsaturated alicyclic or hetrocyclic ring structure which may be mono-substituted or poly-substituted by (C 1 -C 4 ) alkyl groups, and R 6 and R 7 may form a C 4 -C 7 unsaturated, alicyclic or heterocyclic ring structure which may be mono-substituted or poly-substituted by (C 1 -C 4 ) alkyl groups; and the weight ratio of the phenylglycidate (A) to the 1,2-diketone (B) being from 1:99 to 99:1. The invention also relates to the fragrance composition and consumer products containing this malodor reducing composition. |
