Abstract
The present invention encompasses methods of controlling environmental malodors on skin comprising the application to the skin of a composition comprising from about 0.1% to about 5%, by weight of the composition, of solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed cyclodextrin; from about 0.004% to about 2%, by weight of the composition, of a hydrophilic, volatile perfume composition comprising at least about 50% by weight of one or more hydrophilic, volatile perfume ingredients wherein each ingredient has a boiling point of about 260.degree. or lower, and a ClogP of less than about 3.5, and an aqueous carrier. The compositions can be applied directly as a spray, poured from a bottle and applied by hand, or applied via a wipe.
