Why This Score

High water content (AQUA at 15.0%, ISS 10/10) provides stability and reduces skin irritation risk in this eau de parfum formulation.
Benzyl Salicylate (25.0%, ISS 9.0/10) is a well-established fragrance ingredient with strong safety data and low sensitization potential at typical use levels.
Alcohol Denat. comprises 65% of the formula. While standard in fragrances, this high concentration may cause dryness or irritation on sensitive or damaged skin with prolonged direct contact.

Scores are calculated by HumanSafe™ — an independent third-party platform — using peer-reviewed toxicology sources, regulatory databases, and HumanSafe's Mood Architecture™.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Drakkar Noir safe for daily use?+

Yes, for most users. The product's Grade A- PSS score reflects acceptable safety margins for daily application. However, those with sensitive skin, eczema, or alcohol sensitivity should perform a patch test on inner wrist or behind the ear before regular use. Avoid spraying on broken or irritated skin.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The primary concern is Alcohol Denat. at 65% concentration, which can dry skin over time with repeated heavy application. Linalool and Linalyl Acetate are present at lower levels and carry standard fragrance allergen flags; discontinue use if redness, itching, or rash develops. All ingredients are disclosed with available safety data.

What does a PSS of 7.2/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) is a comprehensive safety assessment based on ingredient safety profiles, concentrations, and known sensitization/irritation potential. A Grade A- score indicates the product is well-formulated with low acute toxicity risk and manageable safety concerns for typical consumers. It is not a zero-risk rating, and individual sensitivities vary.

The HumanSafe™ Difference

Most safety tools rate ingredients in isolation — one score regardless of concentration, context, or how the product is used. We assess at actual use concentration.
