BACKGROUND ART A perfume composition is compounded with a detergent composition or a bleacher composition in view of a liking therefor (refer, for example, to JP-A 3-115399 and JP-A 60-23498). Water-insoluble solvents or fixatives such as benzyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate are used in the perfume composition for the purpose of adjusting the sustaining property of perfume components.

However, when the water-insoluble solvent or fixative as mentioned above is used, sustaining property of the perfume components is good but the so-called middle note is suppressed whereby that is not so preferred in view of the generation of sweet smell.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a detergent composition and a bleacher composition having an improved generation of a sweet smell.

The present invention provides a surfactant composition, such as detergent composition, comprising 0.1 to 60% by weight of a surfactant, a perfume component (a) having a vapor pressure of 6.67 Pa or more at 25°C, a perfume component (b) having a vapor pressure of from 0.67 Pa to less than 6.67 Pa at 25°C and at least one compound (c) selected from 2-methyl-2,4-dihydroxybutane, 2-methyl-2,4-dihydroxypentane, 2,4-dihydroxybutane, dipropylene glycol and tripropylene glycol in such amounts that the ratio by weight of the component (a) to the component (b) is 0 to 6 and the ratio by weight of the component (c) to the total amount of the components (a) and (b) is 0.01 to 2.

The present invention further provides to an another surfactant composition, such as bleacher composition, comprising 0.1 to 80% by weight of a bleacher, 0.1 to 60% by weight of a surfactant, a perfume component (a) having a vapor pressure of 6.67 Pa or more at 25°C, a perfume component (b) having a vapor pressure of from 0.67 Pa to less than 6.67 Pa at 25°C and at least one compound (c) selected from 2-methyl-2,4-dihydroxybutane, 2-methyl-2,4-dihydroxypentane, 2,4-dihydroxybutane, dipropylene glycol and tripropylene glycol in such amounts that the ratio by weight of the component (a) to the component (b) is 0 to 6 and that the ratio by weight of the component (c) to the total amount of the components (a) and (b) is 0.01 to 2.

Incidentally, in the present invention, the amount of the components (a), (b) and (c) is preferably 0.001 to 10% by weight and more preferably 0.005 to 5% by weight.

The composition of the present invention is suitable for the use such as laundry of clothing, washing of tableware, washing of the surface of architectures or house materials such as bathtub, floor, furniture and wall and bleacher of clothing-product.

MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Examples of the perfume components which have been known are those mentioned at line 4 from the bottom of page 42 to line 24 of page 45 in"Collection of Well-known Prior Arts (Powdered Detergent for Clothing)" (published as"Patent Office Gazette 10 (1998)-25 7159 on March 26th, 1998"in Patent Office in Japan) and those mentioned in"Industrial Chemistry Series-Chemistry of Perfumes" (written by Ryoichi Akaboshi, edited by the Chemical Society of Japan, published by Dainippon Tosho KK on September 16th, 1983), while the perfume component of the present invention comprises a perfume component (a) having a vapor pressure of 6.67 Pa or more, preferably not more than 20Pa at 25°C and a perfume component (b) having a vapor pressure of from 0.67 Pa to less than 6.67 Pa at 25°C in such amounts that the ratio by weight of the component (a) to the component (b) is 0 to 6, preferably 0 to 2 and particularly preferably 0.001 to 6 or 0.001 to 1.

As examples of the component (a) may be cited orange pera, o-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, d-limonene, linalool, tetrahydrolinalool, tetrahydrogeraniol, terpineol, iso- bornyl acetate and tetrahydromuguol. As examples of the component (b) may be mentioned citronellol, geraniol, methylionone, phenylethyl alcohol, p-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, allylcyclohexane propionate, tricyclodecenyl propionate, tricyclodecenyl acetate and hexylcinnamic aldehyde. The total amount of the components (a) and (b) may depend upon the use, shape, etc. of the composition but the amount in the composition is preferably 0.01 to 5% by weight and particularly preferably 0.01 to 2% by weight.

In view of such an effect and also in view of compatibility with a terpene-type perfume, dipropylene glycol is particularly preferred.

Incidentally, in the above-mentioned"Collection of Well- Known Prior Arts", dipropylene glycol is mentioned to be used as a solvent or as a fixative for perfumes. In view of the generation of sweet smell, the component (c) is used in such an amount that the ratio by weight of the component (c) to the total amount of the components (a) and (b) is 0.01 to 2, preferably 0.1 to 1, and particularly preferably 0.1 to 0.5.

The present invention is applicable to a composition which is used for various treatments such as washing and bleaching wherein the perfumes greatly contribute to the liking of the product.

<Detergent Composition> To be specific, the detergent composition of the present invention may refer to"Dictionary of Detergents and Washing" (edited by Haruhiko Okuyama and Motoi Minakawa, published by Asakura Shoten) and may be applied to detergent compositions for clothing where the perfume greatly contributes to the liking of the product.

The detergent composition of the present invention comprises 0.1 to 60% by weight and preferably 1 to 50% by weight of surfactant. Anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants may be used as the surfactant.

As examples of the anionic surfactant may be mentioned higher alcohol sulfate salts, ethoxylated higher alcohol sulfate salts, alkylbenzene sulfonates, paraffin sulfonates, fatty acid salts, a-olefinsulfonates, a-sulfofatty acid salts and a-sulfofatty acid alkyl ester salts.

Incidentally, the compounding amount of the anionic surfactant is preferably 1 to 40% by weight and particularly preferably 1 to 30% by weight.

As examples of the nonionic surfactant may be cited adducts of alcohol having 10 to 16 carbon atoms with alkylene oxide, fatty acid alkanolamides and alkyl polyglycosides.

Polyoxyalkylene alkyl ethers having C10-16 alkyl chain are particularly preferred in view of detergency to sebum dirt and resistance to hard water. An average number of moles of ethylene oxide added thereto is preferably 5 to 15.

Incidentally, the compounding amount of the nonionic surfactant is preferably 1 to 50% by weight and particularly preferably 1 to 40% by weight.

In the detergent composition, the content ratio of the anionic surfactant to the nonionic surfactant is preferably from 100/0 to 40/60 (ratio by weight), more preferably from 95/5 to 50/50 and particularly preferably from 95/5 to 60/40, in view of the solubility and detergency.

The detergent composition of the present invention may further comprise 5 to 60% by weight and preferably 20 to 60% by weight of a builder. In addition to an inorganic builder such as crystalline aluminosilicate, amorphous aluminosilicate, crystalline silicate, and carbonate and an organic builder such as nitrilotriacetate, ethylenediaminetetraacetate, tartrate, citrate and acrylic acid (co) polymer, it may comprise antidesperitioning agent such as carboxymethyl cellulose; enzyme; reductant such as sulfite; fluorescent whitening agent; and anti-foaming agent such as silicone. Preferred builders are crystalline silicate and carbonate. It is also possible to compound 0 to 20% by weight and preferably 0.1 to 20% by weight of a bleaching component as a detergent aid. When the form is liquid, the builder composition comprises preferably in an amount of 40 to 94.9% by weight of water.

<Bleacher composition > The bleacher composition of the present invention comprises 0.1 to 80% by weight, preferably 10 to 70% by weight and more preferably 30 to 70% by weight of a bleacher. As examples of the bleacher may be cited percarbonate, perborate, persulfate, organic peracid and hydrogen peroxide as well as hypochlorite which is a chlorine type. Among these bleacher, sodium percarbonate, sodium perborate and hydrogen peroxide are preferred for clothing, for example. When a bleaching activator is used together with the bleacher, more excellent bleaching effect can be obtained. As examples of the bleaching activator may be cited a bleaching agent of a metal type and a bleaching agent which generates an organic peracid and which includes carboxylate or amide. In the bleacher composition, it is appropriate to select, for example, a perfume component having no unsaturated bond. In addition, the bleacher composition of the present invention may comprise the above-mentioned surfactant in the above-mentioned amount, the above-mentioned builder and also publicly known bleacher component.

Examples of the form of those compositions include powder, granule, liquid, briquette, tablet, sheet and rod.
