This definitely sounds interesting. Can you please share more information with me at matt@refynefragrances.com?

Definitely interesting. Which fragrance is this? Looks like they’re using some different ingredients but still seem to be using the vicinal diol + glycerol approach.

This is interesting because it looks as if it infringes on Symrise’s patent:

(a) water; (Included in ingredients for J’Adore)

(b) at least one vicinal diol; (J’Adore has Pentylene Glycol)

(c) one, two or three solvent(s) for reducing stickiness, selected from the group consisting of glycerol, isobutyric acid-1-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethyl-3-pentyl ester (compound of formula (1)) and isobutyric acid-3-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethyl-1-pentyl ester (compound of formula (2)) and; (J’Adore has Glycerin)

(d) at least one odor essence.

I wonder if Dior licensed it for this or if Symrise gave them a pass for whatever reason. Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know that Dior released an alcohol free version of this. It goes to show that it’s definitely possible given Dior and Hermetica are both using the same methods; however, I wonder if there’s another way of doing this that’s not patented. It’s really a shame that something like this can be patented in the first place but I understand the reasoning.
