    (57) A transparent, durable container for housing and delivering a free-flowing granular dry oxidant bleach composition, said container being constructed of a heteropolymeric plastic which maximizes transmission of water vapour for minimum decomposition of the oxidant bleach stored within the container. The container may include a fragrancing means located remote from said bleach composition to fragrance the unfilled portion of the container, said fragrancing means being isolated from said bleach composition by an appertured barrier which allows the fragrance to contact the bleach composition but does not allow the bleach composition to contact the fragrancing means.
    In one embodiment the container (2) comprises a bottle (3) and a closure (18) therefor for containing and dispensing a free-flowing granular oxidant bleach composition, the container including fragrancing means (22) for fragrancing the interior of the container and barrier means (24) isolating the fragrance means from contact by an oxidant bleach contained within the container and for allowing fragrance means to communicate with the interior.
