Polymer-based delivery systems use polymers for controlled release of perfumes and prevent rapid evaporation of the fragrance. For example, ethylene-vinyl acetate is a polymer that reacts with body temperature and humidity to ensure gradual release of scent. This makes perfumes last for a longer time. Microencapsulation technology uses droplets of perfume that are compactly packed in a small polymeric coating to give a capsule-like structure, which enables to release the scent in a controlled manner, thereby allowing it to last for a longer duration.

For instance, cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides, which act as the carriers of perfume molecules. These carriers break when they come in contact with the moisture and natural oils of the skin, facilitating gradual release of scent. In 2023, Marc Jacobs, an American fashion designer, launched Daisy Drops, which is a gel-like fragrance formulation in sustainable capsule packaging. Furthermore, temperature-dependent technology releases fragrances that react to changes in body temperature. They release more scents when the body temperature rises, particularly in warmer climates or during intense physical activity. Perfumes formulated using phase-change materials are suitable for all-day wear as they release more fragrant aroma in response to rising body temperatures.
