Abstract
The present invention relates to personal care and pharmaceutical compositions comprising an alcohol, a personal care polymer, and an alcohol-masking perfumery component. These compositions can be applied to the skin, hair, or mucosa. The alcohol-masking perfumery component substantially reduces both the alcohol odor or aroma and the stinging or burning sensation in the nose or throat due to the alcohol when the compositions are sprayed or atomized.

A composition for use on the skin, hair or mucosa comprising:
- (a) from about 60% to about 99.9% by weight of said composition of alcohol,
- (b) from about 0.01% to about 20% by weight of said composition of a personal care polymer, and
- (c) from about 0.1% to about 0.3% by weight of said composition of a perfumery component having an alcohol masking potential greater than about 2.8 which does not substantially interfere with the parent or signature fragrance of said composition,
- wherein said composition is sprayed or atomized upon use.

- (a) from about 60% to about 99.9% by weight of said composition of alcohol,
- (b) from about 0.01% to about 20% by weight of said composition of a personal care polymer, and
