ARTEMISIA: A PERFUME INSPIRED BY ARTEMISIA GENTILESCHI

Painter and Feminist Hero

Artemisia Gentileschi was a Baroque painter whose story has long been dominated by that of her father…and her rapist. But unlike most women of the era (or today), she actually got justice. Her rapist was banished and Artemisia went on to live a long, full, and successful life. She was the only woman who followed in the tradition of Carvaggio and was the court painter for the Medicis. Artemisia counted Galileo as a friend and also painted for Charles I of England.

This perfume is reminiscent of the breeze coming in off the Mediterranean Sea.

None of my fragrances or balms should ever be ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals, and if you are pregnant it’s not a good idea to use essential oils. Additionally, essential/fragrance oils are very potent and can cause allergies or rashes. Always test a fragrance (mine or anyone else’s) on a small patch of skin to make sure that it won’t bother you. Ingredients are listed in each product listing, if you have a known allergy to one of the ingredients do not buy. If you have a reaction to this product, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention (if serious). Please also let me know if you have a reaction so that I may note it for my record keeping.
