Malodor neutralizing compositions containing acids and alicyclic ketones

A malodor neutralizing composition, comprising:

• (1) a cyclohexanone substituted with C1-C5 branched or unbranched alkyl or an unsaturated alicyclic ketone of the formula
• wherein
• the ring contains 1 double bond at position 1, position 2 (endocyclic) or position 2 (exocyclic) or contains 2 conjugated double bonds at positions 1 and 3,
• R1 is a branched or unbranched C3-C5 alkyl containing a carbonyl or a branched or unbranched C3-C5 alkenyl containing a carbonyl, and
• R2 is hydrogen or methyl;
• and
• (2) an acid selected from the group consisting of citric acid, undecylenic acid, and an acid of the formula
• R—COOH (VIII),
• wherein R is C1-C5 alkyl or is C3 or C4 alkylene optionally substituted by phenyl.
