The scent of a laundered textile is an important factor for the subjective evaluation of the laundry detergent's performance. For textile's scent it is necessary that fragrance molecules evaporate from textile's surface. For this reason the fragrance evaporation from textiles is examined as part of a dissertation. Gravimetric methods are used for time-dependent mass loss measurement of textile samples treated with fragrance. By comparing cotton and polyester, an influence of the textile is determined. Polar fragrances have a higher half-value period on cotton than on polyester; for nonpolar fragrances it is vice versa. Temperature dependence of the evaporation rate is evaluated by using Eyring equation. There is evidence that the values for Delta *H and Delta *S are proportional and thus show a compensation effect. The applicability of the principle of Bell, Evans and Polanyi and the postulate of Hammond are investigated. Intermolecular forces between fragrance molecules and their influence on evaporation behaviour are part of the examinations, too. The retarded or accelerated evaporation rate of binary fragrance mixtures compared with the pure fragrances is related to dielectric constant or Hildebrand's solubility parameter. Evaporation behaviour of multi-component mixtures of fragrances, the perfume oils, from cotton and polyester is compared and related to measurements of contact angle and surface tension.
