Signifi cant differences (p 0.05) were found for 9 of the 24 CATA terms used by Cluster 2. As for Cluster 1, cream CE4 was described by Cluster 2 in terms of “delicious smell” and “mild smell,” yet its overall liking was rated below the minimum commercial poten- tial threshold. This may support the idea that Cluster 2 respondents did not regard the fragrance of the creams as an important sensory attribute in evaluating their overall liking. Cream CE5, which was assigned the lowest overall liking score by Cluster 2, was de- scribed by this group in terms of “for older women,” “cheap,” and with a “strong smell.” The high odor intensity of this cream, together with its perceived cheapness, may explain the low overall liking scores assigned to CE5.
SELECTION OF FRAGRANCE FOR COSMETIC CREAM CONTAINING OLIVE OIL 171 As mentioned above, a correspondence analysis was used to visualize the relationships between products and associations. The resulting perceptual maps are shown for the two clusters in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. The fi rst two dimensions of the correspondence analysis explained 61.2% and 79.2% of the variability of the experimental data for Clus- ters 1 and 2, respectively. Cluster 1 respondents differentiated between three groups of samples (Figure 1). On the right are samples CE3 and CE2, with fruit and lemon fragrances, characterized in terms of “summer use,” “for young women,” “daytime use,” “fresh,” and “energizing.” Below is sample CE4, a complex fragrance with several fl oral constituents, including jasmine and white fl owers, as well as vanilla and sandalwood. CE4 is characterized in terms of “facial use,” “expensive,” “nourishing,” “softening,” and “glamorous,” consis- tent with its high overall liking score. On the left are samples CE1, CE5, and CE6, with fl oral and vanilla fragrances, characterized in terms of “cheap,” “use on hands,” and “night time use.” Figure 2 shows that Cluster 2 respondents differentiated between two groups of samples, with a lesser degree of discrimination than Cluster 1. On the right of the fi gure are samples CE2, CE3, and CE5, characterized in terms of “summer use,” “for older women,” with “disagree- able,” and “strong” smells, “artifi cial,” “cheap,” “for a mass market,” and “use on feet.” On the Figure 1. Correspondence analysis plot for CATA terms associated with the different types of fragrance by Cluster 1 respondents.
