A detergent composition, comprising one or more detersive surfactants selected from the group consisting of soap, alkyl benzene sulfonates, ethoxylated alcohols, alkyl surfates, and alkyl ethyloxylate sulfate, optionally, one or more builders, and perfume particles which comprise form about 5% to about 70% of a perfume dispersed in from about 30% to about 95% of a solid core comprising water-insoluble polymeric carrier material selected from the group consisting of polyethylenes, polyamides, polystyrene, polyisoprenes, polycarbonates, polyesters, polyacrylates, vinyl polymers, polyurethanes and mixtures thereof, said solid core polymeric carrier material having a molecular weight of from about 100 to about 30,000, a melting point of from about 37.degree. C. to about 190.degree. C., and a hardness value of from about 0.1 to about 15, said particles being encapsulated by having a friable coating on their outer surfaces, wherein said friable coating is the reaction product of an amine slected from urea and melamine or mixtures thereof and an aldehyde selected form formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, glutaraldehyde or mixtures thereof said coated, solid core particles having an average size less than about 350 microns.
