An emulsion concentrate that includes an ester oil, a nonionic ester emulsifier, a waxy ester, and an aqueous cationic surfactant. In an embodiment, the ester oil may be glycerol triheptanoate, the nonionic ester emulsifier may be glyceryl monostearate, the waxy ester may be a hydrogenated rapeseed oil, and the aqueous cationic surfactant may be alkyamido propyl PG-dimonium chloride, such as cocamidopropyl PG-dimoinum chloride. The emulsion concentrate provides an improved sensory experience as compared to a conventional emulsion concentrate. The invention further encompasses an end use formulation including the emulsion concentrate dispersed within a carrier, such as water. Within the scope of the invention are textiles impregnated with the emulsion composition or with the end use formulation. Related methods of manufacture and use are also included.
