aroma in an ambient surrounding
where the paint is applied. The additive
mixture is comprised of a fragrance
material at a concentration

which is compatible with the fragrance
material. According to the
patent, the paint additive disperses

selected from the group consisting
of water-based, latex-based, oilbased
paints and alkyd-based paints
and mixtures thereof.
