Frequently Asked Questions
Is Portrait Of A Lady safe for daily use?+
For most adults, yes—the PSS Grade A- suggests acceptable safety for regular fragrance use. However, individual sensitivity varies. Start with patch testing on inner wrist or behind the ear, and discontinue if irritation develops. Those with sensitive or reactive skin should consult a dermatologist before daily use.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
2-T-Butylcyclohexyloxybutanol (5.0% concentration) carries a moderate safety score and may trigger irritation in sensitive individuals. The other major ingredients score well. If you have a history of fragrance sensitivity or allergic reactions, patch test first and review the full ingredient list with your healthcare provider.
What does a PSS of 7.1/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
PSS is a Product Safety Score that evaluates fragrance formulations across multiple safety criteria. A Grade A- indicates good safety standards but not perfect—it reflects a balance of well-studied and moderately-studied ingredients. This grade is suitable for typical consumer use when applied as directed, though individual reactions may still occur.
