belle-aire fragrances

Customers who rely solely on a fragrance to eliminate malodors commonly see opportunities lost due to the inability of the fragrance to provide adequate odor control in many situations.  To address this, the chemists at Belle-Aire were given the task to independently develop a system to incorporate into fragrances that would neutralize odors that had been difficult to control.  The first such malodor to be successfully eliminated was isovaleric acid, a lower fatty acid that is a prominent factor in foot odor and to a lesser extent in underarm perspiration.  After this initial success and after further testing, we found that by manipulating the components within this new system, we were able to effectively eliminate other bothersome malodors as well. 

This system that we have named O.M. Complex is a unique patent-pending chemical formulation that possesses true deodorizing qualities.  The abbreviated and simplified functions of O.M. Complex chemistry are described as follows.

The presence of specific molecules associated with malodors can be correlated with distinctive odor types.  For example, lower fatty acids have a “sweat-like” odor; lower amines can have a “fishy” odor and lower thiols a “putrid” odor.  Because of the presence of polar groups associated with these malodor molecules, they have a pronounced tendency to either donate or accept protons through the process of chemical/electron charge exchange.  We have found that the polar groups on these types of malodors play an important role in the modifying or tempering of their respective odors when interacted with other carefully selected and constructed chemical compositions and compounds, or what we refer to as our O.M. Complex.  The large molecules of the O.M. Complex contain polar groups as well.  Any exchange or donation of protons between O.M. Complex and malodor molecules when interaction occurs can result in an exchange of charges.  This in turn can cause the odor causing polar bonds to be disrupted, which results in effective neutralization of the malodors
