Why This Score

✔TETRAMETHYL ACETYLOCTAHYDRONAPHTHALENES (15.0%) is the primary ingredient with a solid ISS safety score of 6.5/10, supporting the fragrance's stability and performance.
✔Multiple woody/cedar-derived compounds including ACETYLCEDRENE and OCTAHYDRO-TETRAMETHYL-METHANO-1-NAPHTHOL carry higher individual safety grades (7.0/10), contributing to the leather character.
⚠The product contains ETHANONE, 1-(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-OCTAHYDRO-2,3,8,8- at 12.5% concentration with a moderate ISS rating (6.6/10); users with sensitive skin or acetone sensitivity should conduct 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 AFRICAN LEATHER TYPE safe for daily use?+

The overall PSS score of 6.3/10 (Grade B) indicates this fragrance is generally safe for regular use. However, daily application should be monitored for skin sensitivity, particularly if you have reactive or compromised skin. A patch test on the inner wrist or behind the ear for 24–48 hours is recommended before committing to daily wear.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The main consideration is ETHANONE, 1-(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-OCTAHYDRO-2,3,8,8-, a constituent with a moderate safety rating that comprises 12.5% of the formula. While it is widely used in fragrances, individuals with acetone sensitivity or very sensitive skin should patch-test first. All other top ingredients carry strong safety grades (6.5–7.0/10).

What does a PSS of 6.3/10 (Grade B) mean?+

A PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.3/10 with a Grade B classification indicates the product meets acceptable safety standards for consumer use, but is not rated in the highest safety tier. Grade B fragrances are considered mainstream-safe and appropriate for regular use by the general population, though individual sensitivity varies. Always follow patch-test guidelines and manufacturer instructions.
