The solubility region for the aqueous microemulsions with perfume, stabilized by Aerosol-OT(AOT) was determined. The perfume used is limonene (LN). The results showed the presence of a large isotropic solution region emanating from the pertume/AOT axis towards the water comer. The weight loss due to the evaporation from the microemulsion system was found to be dependent on the weight ratio of LN and ACT, and the water content of the microemulsion. A higher weight ratio and water content led to a higher evaporation
