Samples A2 and A3 (4% and 6% octyldecanol) were far apart from the rest, being associated with negative characteristics such as being rough and exudative and lacking uniformity. Samples B 1, B2, and B3 (PPG-5-ceth-20) were located on the other side of the first dimension, associated with desirable sensory characteristics. Samples Cl, C2, and C3 (PPG-15-stearyl ether) along with sample Al (2% octyldodecanol) showed an intermediate behavior. For the sensations-during-application set, spreadability, coldness, oiliness, and moisture correlated negatively with the first dimension, spreadability being the most frequently cited descriptor. Samples A2 and A3 were again apart from the rest, perceived as easily spreadable but greasy. Samples B, C, and Al did not differ clearly from the rest, being less spreadable and lacking undesired attributes. For the sensations-after-application set, roughness and the rate of absorption showed a positive correlation with the first dimension, while gloss, oiliness, moisture, and sticki­ ness correlated negatively. The rate of absorption and oiliness were the descriptors most frequently cited. Samples A2 and A3 again differed from the rest, showing greater
