Why This Score

Ethylene Brassylate (20.0%) and 1,4-Dioxacycloheptadecane-5,17-Dione (17.5%) are the primary components and both achieve top safety ratings (ISS 10.0/10), indicating strong safety profiles in fragrance formulations.
Oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one (7.5%) also carries an ISS rating of 10.0/10, reflecting well-established safety data for this macrocyclic ingredient commonly used in fine fragrances.
Phenethyl Alcohol and Benzeneethanol are present at 7.5% and 6.2% respectively with lower ISS ratings (6.0/10). While approved fragrance ingredients, individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities should perform a patch test before full application.

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 English Pear & Freesia safe for daily use?+

For most consumers, yes. The fragrance's PSS Grade A- score supports daily wear. However, because it is an Eau de Parfum (higher concentration than EDT), start with moderate application. If you have fragrance sensitivities or sensitive skin, patch test on a small area first and consult a dermatologist if irritation occurs.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

Phenethyl Alcohol and Benzeneethanol, which together represent about 13.7% of the formula, carry ISS ratings of 6.0/10—lower than the primary components. These are approved fragrance materials but may trigger sensitivity in some users. If you have known sensitivities to fragrance alcohols or phenolic compounds, exercise caution or seek alternatives.

What does a PSS of 7.3/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

The PSS (Product Safety Score) measures overall fragrance safety based on ingredient profiles and concentration data. A Grade A- indicates the product meets strong safety standards with minimal concerning ingredients at typical use levels. This grade reflects safety in normal use; individual reactions may vary based on skin type and personal sensitivities.

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.
