Frequently Asked Questions
Is La Collection Privee Patchouli Imperial safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most users. The product carries a Grade B safety score and uses approved fragrance ingredients. However, daily use depends on individual sensitivity—some people may experience irritation with repeated exposure to high concentrations of azulene compounds. Start with moderate application and monitor your skin's response.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The primary consideration is the azulene content (~13.7% combined), which includes 1,4-dimethyl-7-prop-1-en-2-yl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroazulene and related compounds. These are safe as formulated but may cause sensitization in susceptible individuals. If you have known sensitivities to fragrance compounds or reactive skin, perform a patch test first.
What does a PSS of 6.2/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.2/10 Grade B indicates the fragrance meets safety standards for consumer use with a moderate risk profile typical of eau de parfum products. Grade B means the product is generally safe when used as directed, but some caution (such as patch testing) is reasonable, particularly for users with sensitive skin.
