Aqueous monophasic compositions containing aromatic lipophiles

A monophasic colorless transparent liquid aqueous composition comprising 0.05 to 2% by weight of one or more aromatic lipophiles; 0.05 to 2% by weight of the components of a salt of a divalent cation, M(B)x, where M is a divalent cation selected from the group consisting of zinc and magnesium and B is a halide or sulfate and X is 1 when B is sulfate and 2 when B is a halide; 0.05 to 2% by weight of the components of a salt of a monovalent cation, Na(RSO4-), where R is selected from the group consisting of C8 to C20 alkyl groups; 5-15% by weight ethanol; and water to 100%, provided the ratio of the combined weights of M(B)2 and Na(RSO4)2 to the weight of said one or more aromatic lipophiles is from 0.8:1 to 2:1, and the stoichiometric ratio of {(M2+)+(B)x} to {(Na+)+(RSO4-)} is between 3.5:1 and 8:1.
