Frequently Asked Questions
Is Scandal safe for daily use?+
For most consumers, yes. The PSS grade B suggests acceptable safety for regular fragrance use. However, daily application on sensitive or reactive skin may warrant caution due to the 15% combined linalool content. If you have fragrance sensitivities or dermatitis, start with 2–3 times weekly and monitor your skin response.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
Ethyl Linalool and Linalyl Acetate are the primary considerations. Both are naturally occurring fragrance components, but they can trigger sensitization in susceptible individuals—particularly with repeated exposure. Benzyl Salicylate and Ambroxan show strong safety profiles. If you have known fragrance allergies, consult product labeling or a dermatologist before use.
What does a PSS of 7.0/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety assessment on a 10-point scale. Grade B indicates the product meets standard safety benchmarks for the fragrance category, with no critical red flags. It does not mean zero risk—all fragrances carry minor sensitization potential in some users—but it reflects acceptable safety for general consumer use when used as directed.
