Arquiste After Sun is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2024. After Sun opens with Green Tea, Melon, and Aloe Vera, settles into a heart of Gin, Cardamom, Ozonic Notes, and Tonic Water, and dries down to a base of Musk. Arquiste's After Sun carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive, nostalgia-tinged clean aquatic that splits opinions, some loving its unique spa-like freshness, others finding it too artificial or reminiscent of early 2000s bath products. Moderate performance means it's a skin scent for many.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual day wear, gym, or office where an unobtrusive scent is preferred. It's too light for formal events and might lack the sensual punch for a date, but its refreshing quality makes it ideal for warmer casual settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

After Sun opens with a bright, cooling splash of green tea and fresh melon, uplifted by the distinctive, slightly watery bitterness of aloe vera. This initial burst transitions into a crisp heart where a boozy gin and tonic accord adds a sophisticated fizz, complemented by a whisper of spicy cardamom and airy ozonic notes. The dry down settles into a clean, understated musk, retaining a refreshing, spa-like quality throughout its wear.
