Definitions

• the present invention relates to a perfume sampling device, for example of the type which is fixed inside leaflets, brochures, magazine inserts, direct sales printed matter, sample cards, previously printed.
• the object of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide an extremely economical perfume sampling device which also makes it possible to carry out, under absolute hygienic conditions, the individual test and disposable of a perfume, the smell of which will never be altered by the materials used and the presentation medium.
• the device of the invention also allows the incorporation of several perfumes.
• the device comprises a film for supporting a perfume sample, intended to adhere to a presentation sheet, such as paper, cardboard, at least one perfume sample brought in the form a gel applied to the support film and a removable protective film applied to the sample, which, when removed from the support film, causes the fragrance sample to be removed from the support film by adhering to said protective film and thus allowing the test of the perfume by application to the skin.
• a presentation sheet such as paper, cardboard
• the gel comprises, in addition to the perfume, an agent increasing the viscosity, an emulsifier, an emollient, a biodegradable binder and water.
• the gel comprises between 1.5 and 3% of perfume, between 0.2 and 0.6% of agent increasing the viscosity, between 2 and 5% of emulsifier, between 0.1 and 0.5% of emollient, between 15 and 30% of biodegradable binder and the rest in water, these percentages being taken relative to the total weight of the gel.
• the support film is oleophobic and is made of treated aluminum or polyethylene and the removable protective film is oleophilic and is made of treated aluminum or polyethylene.
• the protective film completely covers the film. sample carrier and is larger than this.
• Figure 1 is a top view of a perfume sampling device of the invention.
• Figure 2 is a sectional view taken along lines II-II of Figure 1.
• the perfume sampling device shown in FIG. 1, comprises a support film 1 for the perfume sample, adhering by means of a net or bead of glue 2 to a presentation sheet 3, such as paper, cardboard or the like, having inscripti * 4 ons, such as, for example, an advertising text rappor ⁇ both fragrance presented a perfume sample 5 applied on the support film 1 and a detachable protective film 6 applied on the perfume sample 5.

• inscripti * 4 ons such as, for example, an advertising text rappor ⁇ both fragrance presented a perfume sample 5 applied on the support film 1 and a detachable protective film 6 applied on the perfume sample 5.
• the perfume sample 5 is in the form of a characteristic gel comprising, in addition to the perfume, an agent increasing the viscosity, an emulsifier, an ollient, a biodegradable binder and water, the gel advantageously comprising according to the invention between 1.5 and 3% of perfume, between 0.2 and 0.6% of agent increasing the viscosity, between 2 and 5% of emulsifier, between 0.1 and 0, 5% emollient, between 15 and 30% biodegradable binder and the rest in e au, these percentages being taken relative to the total weight of the gel.
• the support film 1 does not necessarily have to be glued to the presentation sheet 3 using a bead or thread of glue, its face intended to adhere to said sheet possibly being, for example, self-adhesive.
• this support film is made of an oleophobic material or comprises such a material, that is to say a material which rejects fatty substances and, consequently, essential oils or perfumes.
• a suitable material in this regard is aluminum or polyethylene treated for this type of application.
• this support film can be opaque, for example white, silver, or transparent, depending on the application envisaged.
• the protective film 6 is a film, opaque or not, preferably of larger size than the support film 1, so that it can be easily detached from the latter.
• This protective film will preferably comprise an oleophilic material or will be made of a material, for example aluminum or treated polyethylene, making it possible to maintain the perfume gel on its face in contact with it. . It only adheres to the support or lower film 1 by the specific consistency of the essential oil in the form of gel or emulsion. As has just been specified, during the removal of the protective or upper film 6, all of the treated essential oil 5 separates backing or lower film 1 to adhere only to the protective film. This protective film thus allows the perfume to be tested by application to the skin.
• dots of adhesive 7 are provided on the sheet presentation 3 to directly adhere the protective film 6 to the latter, in the case where it is desired to strengthen the adhesion, obtained essentially by capillarity, between the two films.
• these bonding points 7 are located on the presentation sheet to allow the edge 8 of the protective film protruding beyond the support film to adhere directly to the sheet of presentation.
• the films 1 and 6 and the lines of glue 2 and 7 will be odorless so as not to alter the perfume to be tested.
• the support film 1 is not printed but the protective film 6 can be printed on its outer face, that is to say on its face which is not directly in contact with the perfume sample 5. From this fact, the impression is not in contact with the perfume and the skin.
• the protective sheet 6 can be cut to the desired shape, for example rectangular, as in the case envisaged. This is how it could be incorporated into a graphic concept and the layout of the printed presentation sheet.
• Figure 2 allows to see, in cross section, and on a larger scale, the application on the presentation sheet 3, the sampling device of the invention consisting of support film 1, perfume sample 5 and protective film 6.
• the perfume sample is deposited without adding glue or other fixatives and that the device remains odorless as long as the protective film has not been detached, that is to say that in fact the perfume retains all its fragrance and that it does not denature, the films used avoiding evaporation and hardening of the gel.
• the preparation of the gel results in a very low consumption of essential oil (between 1.5 and 3% of the weight of the gel) compared to conventional devices. It would of course also be possible to design several separate samples of perfume applied to the support sheet, so as to allow a comparison of the different perfumes.
• the presentation sheet 1 has inscriptions or is printed, as in the planned case, the sample support 1 and protective films 6 may be transparent to allow the inscriptions to be read. However, advantageously opaque films will be used.
