The technique of enclosing perfume oils in small to microscopic capsules (often made of gelatin) meant to brake under pressure – like rubbing- therefore releasing the scent. Many different product forms can benefit from this technique of delayed fragrance release. One example could be a fabric treated with a micro-encapsulated scent which would get released when the clothes are worn.
