Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for topical application comprising at least one fatty phase; at least one volatile hydrocarbon-based oil; and at least one lipophilic polymer comprising at least hydroxyethyl acrylate units and acrylate units bearing a lipophilic group, the weight ratio of the sum of all the hydroxyethyl acrylate units to the sum of all the acrylate units bearing a lipophilic group ranging from 1:30 to 1:1 and the lipophilic polymer having a number-average molecular weight Mn ranging from 2000 to 9000 g/mol. The composition in accordance with the invention has improved sensory properties, allowing faster and more complete absorption into the skin. In particular, the composition in accordance with the invention leaves a non-greasy and non-tacky feel on the skin, during and after application, even in the presence of solid fatty substances such as waxes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an anhydrous fragrancing composition free of C1-C5 alkanol, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: a) at least 5% by weight of water relative to the total weight of the composition; b) at least 2% by weight of a fragrancing substance; c) at least one volatile liquid linear alkane or a mixture of volatile linear alkanes. The present invention also relates to a process for fragrancing human keratin materials or clothing, which consists in applying to the said keratin materials or the said clothing an aqueous fragrancing composition as defined previously.
