Frequently Asked Questions

Is New York Amber safe for daily use?+

For most consumers, yes—the overall PSS score of 7.0/10 (Grade B) suggests daily use is acceptable. However, individuals with sensitive skin, fragrance allergies, or a history of contact dermatitis should patch test first. Apply to a small area and wait 24–48 hours before wider use.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

ETHANONE, 1-(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-OCTAHYDRO-2,3,8,8-) carries a moderate safety grade (6.6/10) and comprises 8.8% of the formula. While not prohibited, this ingredient may warrant caution in individuals with fragrance sensitivities. The remaining ingredients score Grade A or A-.

What does a PSS of 7.0/10 (Grade B) mean?+

The PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety assessment on a 10-point scale. A Grade B score indicates the product meets acceptable safety standards for a fragrance and poses low to moderate concern under normal use conditions. It is not a guarantee of no adverse reactions; individual sensitivity varies.
