A microcapsule having an average particle size of from 7.5 to 50 microns. The microcapsule contains a core and a polymeric shell enclosing the core. The core contains a core material containing an emulsifiable fragrance. The polymeric shell contains, in polymerized form, a monomer blend containing: the specific monomer (i) in an amount of from 30% to 80% by weight over the combined weight of monomers (i) and (ii); and the specific monomer (ii) in an amount of 20% to 70% by weight over the combined weight of monomers (i) and (ii). |
