1. A composition for use on the skin, hair or mucosa comprising:
- (a) from about 60% to about 99.9% by weight of said composition of alcohol,(b) from about 0.01% to about 20% by weight of said composition of a personal care polymer, and(c) from about 0.001% to about 0.3% by weight of said composition of a perfumery component wherein the perfumery component does not simultaneously have a boiling point of about 250°
C. or higher and the natural log of its octanol/water partition coefficient of lower than about 3.0,wherein said composition is sprayed or atomized upon use.

Abstract
The present invention relates to personal care and pharmaceutical compositions comprising an alcohol, a personal care polymer, and an alcohol-masking perfumery component. These compositions can be applied to the skin, hair, or mucosa. The alcohol-masking perfumery component substantially reduces both the alcohol odor or aroma and the stinging or burning sensation in the nose or throat due to the alcohol when the compositions are sprayed or atomized.

16. A method of substantially masking or reducing both the odor and the stinging sensation in the nose or throat from an atomized alcohol containing composition, said method comprising the steps of:
-
(1) preparing a composition comprising; (a) from about 60% to about 99.9% by weight of said composition of alcohol, (b) from about 0.01% to about 20% by weight of said composition of a personal care polymer, and (c) from about 0.001% to about 0.3% by weight of said composition of a perfumery component wherein the perfumery component does not simultaneously have a boiling point of about 250°
C. or higher and the natural log of its octanol/water partition coefficient of lower than about 3.0, and(2) application of said composition by atomizing or spraying to the skin, hair, or mucosa of a human in need of such treatment.
