Orange & Sandalwood Alcohol-free Perfume (Eau Fraiche)
The Arty Scents Story
I started Arty Scents because I love perfume, but my sensitive skin didn’t. I was tired of that sharp 'alcohol sting' that masked the actual fragrance, so I reimagined perfume as a gentle, water-based mist. By removing harsh alcohols, I have created a skin-kind Eau Fraîche that prioritises botanical integrity. It’s more than a perfume; it's a wearable piece of art containing Aloe Vera & Vitamin E. This bottle features stunning, original hand-painted artwork, digitised to celebrate the fusion of fine art & fine fragrance.
The Composition
An uplifting fragrance that balances high-citrus energy with a smooth foundation:
- Top Notes - A bright, sparkling opening of Sweet Orange and the crisp, green, woody "snap" of Petitgrain to awaken & refresh the senses
- Heart Notes - A sophisticated, honeyed core of precious Neroli blossom, elegantly balanced by the clean, herbaceous serenity of French Lavender
- Base Notes - A rich, enduring foundation of creamy Sandalwood & the soft, "skin-scent" warmth of White Musk to anchor the citrus brightness
How to Wear
Mist generously over skin and hair. Being water-based, the scent develops gently and remains kind to your body. There’s also no need to rub it into your skin. To make your scent linger even longer, apply a tiny touch of Jojoba oil or unscented balm to your pulse points before misting; it creates a botanical ‘anchor’ that holds the fragrance on your skin all day.
Our Art Story
Each bottle showcases a unique, hand-painted artwork created by my Mum. Her vibrant, abstract flair perfectly captures the lively, bright essence of the fragrance, turning your daily spritz into a moment of artistic appreciation. It’s a signature look that you won't find anywhere else.
The Alcohol-Free Advantage
Choosing an Eau Fraiche means you are choosing a softer, subtler, and more skin-loving fragrance experience.
No Irritation: It's ideal for sensitive skin and prevents the dryness and redness often associated with alcohol-based perfumes.
Layering Friendly: Mist it liberally over your body, hair, or clothes, it’s non-drying and won't interfere with your skincare routine.
Natural Sillage: You get a clean, true passionfruit scent that wears close to the skin, providing a refreshing glow without an overpowering blast.
It's a light, beautiful scent, a beautiful piece of art, and a beautiful result for your skin. Cheers to that!
