Why This Score

Ambroxan (40.0%) is the primary ingredient with a solid ISS grade A rating, providing amber depth with established safety in fragrance use.
Phenethyl alcohol (5.0%) is a common fragrance component with ISS grade A, known for its floral character and acceptable safety profile.
Two synthetic azulene derivatives make up approximately 13.7% of the formula; while individually graded B or A, their combined concentration and long chemical names warrant patch testing before first full application, particularly for sensitive skin.

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 Dark Purple safe for daily use?+

For most adults, yes—the PSS grade B indicates a generally safe profile for regular fragrance use. However, eau de parfum concentrations (typically 15–20% fragrance oils) are higher than eau de toilette, so some individuals may experience irritation with daily application. Start with moderation and discontinue if irritation develops.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The formula contains two synthetic azulene-based compounds (together ~13.7%) that are less commonly encountered than classic fragrance ingredients. While safety-rated, they may trigger sensitivity in people with fragrance allergies or reactive skin. If you have a history of fragrance reactions, conduct a 24–48 hour patch test on inner arm or behind ear first.

What does a PSS of 6.9/10 (Grade B) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety assessment. A grade B at 6.9/10 indicates the product meets acceptable safety thresholds for typical consumer use but is not in the highest safety tier. This is a normal, middle-range rating for many fragrances and does not suggest danger—only that standard precautions (patch testing for sensitive users, avoiding contact with eyes) should be observed.

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.
