Abstract

Control of fabric softener viscosity by increasing the amount of fragrance in the formulation and to thereby influence the amount of fragrance that can be added to the fabric softening formulations. A mixture of a perfume or fragrance chemical and special group of surface active agents is prepared. Thereafter the mixture is added to a fabric softener base formulation to produce the fabric softener consumer product.
