The invention claimed is: 1. A cosmetic composition comprising: a) an antimicrobial active capable of providing sub-lethal inhibition of fatty acid catabolism by corynebacteria A, said antimicrobial active comprising 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol, the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol being present in the cosmetic composition in an amount of from 0.1 to 0.5% by weight, b) 1 to 30% by weight of a structurant, c) 0.1 to 10% by weight of an emulsifier, and d) 5 to 30% by weight of an antiperspirant active wherein the composition is topically administered to the human body as a deodorant composition and wherein the cosmetic composition is in the form of a solid stick, soft solid, cream, or gel. 2. A cosmetic composition comprising: a) an antimicrobial active capable of providing sub-lethal inhibition of fatty acid catabolism by corynebacteria A, said antimicrobial active comprising 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol, the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol being present in the cosmetic composition in an amount of from 0.2 to 0.5% by weight, b) from 10 to 98% by weight, excluding volatile propellant, of a carrier material, c) volatile propellant selected from liquified hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbon gases, alkyl ethers, and compressed non-reactive gasses, and d) 5 to 30% by weight of an antiperspirant active, wherein the composition is topically administered to the human body as a deodorant composition and wherein the composition is in the form of an aerosol. 3. A cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol is present at a concentration of from 0.2 to 0.5% by weight. 4. A cosmetic composition according to claim 1 comprising an additional deodorant active. 5. A cosmetic composition according to claim 4 wherein the additional deodorant active is capable of sub-lethal inhibition of corynebacteria A. 6. A cosmetic composition comprising: a) an antimicrobial active capable of providing sub-lethal inhibition of fatty acid catabolism by corynebacteria A, said antimicrobial active comprising 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol, the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol being present in the cosmetic composition in an amount of from 0.1 to 0.5% by weight, b) 1 to 30% by weight of a structurant, c) 0.1 to 10% by weight of an emulsifier, and d) 5 to 30% by weight of an antiperspirant active wherein the composition is topically administered to the human body as a deodorant composition and wherein the cosmetic composition is in the form of a solid stick, soft solid, cream, or gel, and wherein said composition does not comprise significant amounts of additional anti-microbial agents that cause lethal inhibition of corynebacteria A. 7. A cosmetic method of obtaining a deodorancy benefit comprising the topical administration of a cosmetic composition according to claim 1. 8. A cosmetic method of obtaining a deodorancy benefit comprising the topical administration of a composition according to claim 2. 9. A cosmetic composition according to claim 2 wherein the carrier material comprises a liquid polyorganosiloxane. 10. A cosmetic composition according to claim 1 which composition is non-aqueous. 11. A cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the structurant is selected from the group consisting of sodium stearate, stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, hydrogenerated castor oil, synthetic waxes, paraffin waxes, hydroxystearic acid, dibutyl lauroyl glutamide, alkyl silicone waxes, quaternium-18 bentonite, quaternium-18 hectorite, silica and propylene carbonate.
