Frequently Asked Questions
Is No 5 safe for daily use?+
For most people, yes. The Grade B safety score suggests No 5 is safe for routine fragrance use. However, if you have sensitive skin or a history of fragrance reactions, apply a small amount to your inner arm first and wait 24 hours to check for irritation before using daily.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The main ingredients to be aware of are phenoxyethanol and 2-phenoxyethanol, which are preservatives that may irritate sensitive skin in some individuals. Linalool, while generally safe, can occasionally trigger reactions in people with fragrance sensitivities. If you have known allergies to cosmetic preservatives, consult the full ingredient list with a dermatologist.
What does a PSS of 6.6/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.6/10 with a Grade B indicates this fragrance has been evaluated as having moderate safety for consumer use. Grade B products are generally acceptable for most people but may warrant caution for those with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities. It is not a top-tier safety rating, but falls within acceptable parameters for cosmetic fragrances.
