1. A low sudsing, fabric softening bar composition comprising:
- (A) from about 40% to about 90%, by weight of the composition, of a hydrophobic, fabric softening compound selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium compounds, carboxylic acid salts of tertiary amines, carboxylic acid salts of tertiary ester amines, sorbitan esters of fatty alcohols, glycerol and polyglycerol esters, fatty amines, fatty acids, alkyl or alkenyl succinic acids, and mixtures thereof;
(B) from about 0.01% to about 10% of an enduring perfume composition;
(C) optionally, from about 5% to about 30%, by weight of the composition, of a nonionic surfactant;
(D) optionally, from about 5% to about 30%, by weight of the composition, water; and
;
(E) optionally, cellulase, at a level equivalent to an activity from about 1 to about 100 Cellulase Equivalent Viscosity Units/gram (CEVU/gram) of the composition;
wherein when (A) is a sorbitan ester of a fatty alcohol, glycerol ester, or a polyglycerol ester, then (C) cannot also be a sorbitan ester of a fatty alcohol, glycerol ester, or a polyglycerol ester, said composition being essentially free of detergent builders and anionic detergents.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a fabric softening bar composition comprising: from about 40% to about 90% by weight of the composition of a hydrophobic fabric softening compound, from about 0.1% to about 10% of an enduring perfume composition, and optionally, but preferably, from about 5% to about 30% by weight of the composition of a nonionic surfactant, and from about 5% to about 30% by weight of the composition, water. These compositions are low sudsing, low lathering, non-detersive fabric softening compositions which provide long lasting perfume effects.
