A long-wearing composition for providing extended release of fragrance, said composition comprising: (a) from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of a hydrophilically-modified cross-linked silicone elastomer; (b) from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of an acrylic rheology modifier; (c) from about 20% to about 75% by weight of a polyol; (d) from about 20% to about 75% by weight of an alcohol; and (e) from about 2% to about 10% by weight of a fragrance oil, wherein the composition is capable of releasing said fragrance oil over a longer period of time as compared to an otherwise identical composition lacking either said hydrophilically-modified cross-linked silicone elastomer or said acrylic rheology modifier.

2. The composition according to claim 1, wherein said hydrophilically-modified cross-linked silicone elastomer comprises poly(alkylene oxide) chains grafted to a silicone backbone.
