Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dark Amber & Ginger Lily safe for daily use?+
Yes, it is generally safe for daily use as an eau de parfum. The Grade B safety score suggests it is suitable for routine application, provided you follow standard fragrance precautions. Avoid spraying directly into eyes or on broken skin, and perform a patch test if you have sensitive skin or known fragrance sensitivities.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
Ethyl Linalool, present at 3.8%, carries an eye irritation warning (Category 2A). This means you should be careful not to apply the fragrance too close to your eyes. Additionally, an unresolved compound at 12.5% has a moderate ISS rating of 6.6/10—its long-term safety profile is less established than higher-rated ingredients.
What does a PSS of 6.8/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.8/10 with Grade B indicates this fragrance falls into a moderate-to-good safety range. It is safer than products rated Grade C or lower, but not quite at the highest safety tier (Grade A+). This score reflects the balance of beneficial ingredients (like water) against ingredients with known irritation potential.
