Formed three-dimensional matrix and associated coating providing modulated release of volatile compositions

An aggregate article comprising:

• a plurality of scent reservoirs comprising an internal structure;
• a volatile composition, wherein at least some of the volatile composition is located in the internal structure;
• and
• a modulating coating substantially covering at least one of the plurality of scent reservoirs, wherein the modulating coating comprises a barrier substance and a hygroscopic substance;
• and
• wherein the modulating coating is configured to bond the plurality of scent reservoirs into a three-dimensional matrix.

An aggregate article comprising:

• a plurality of scent reservoirs comprising an internal structure comprising pores;
• a volatile composition, wherein at least some of the volatile composition is located in the pores;
• a modulating coating distributed on exterior surfaces of the plurality of scent reservoirs;
• wherein the modulating coating is formulated to provide a heat resistant bond between the plurality of scent reservoirs;
• and
• wherein the modulating coating regulates a release rate of the volatile composition located in the pores.

A method for making an aggregate article, the method comprising:

• coating a plurality of scent reservoirs with a bonding modulating coating;
• depositing the plurality of scent reservoirs within a perforated mold;
• compacting the plurality of scent reservoirs within the perforated mold;
• drying the plurality of scent reservoirs within the perforated mold;
• and
• releasing the plurality of scent reservoirs from the perforated mold.
