Contains Linalyl Acetate (combined 13.7%), a naturally-derived compound commonly used in fragrances with a solid ISS score of 6.5–7.0/10 and Grade A/B ratings.
The second-largest component (35.0%) is an unresolved compound with a Moderate safety grade; full chemical name resolution is recommended for users with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Masculin Pluriel safe for daily use?+

The PSS Grade B rating suggests it is acceptable for regular use for most consumers. However, because one major ingredient (35%) lacks full clarity, individuals with fragrance sensitivities, skin allergies, or respiratory conditions should perform a patch test first or consult a dermatologist before daily application.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The second-largest component is an unresolved compound at 35% concentration with a Moderate safety grade. Linalyl Acetate is well-established and low-concern. If you have known sensitivities to woody or synthetic aromatics, request the full ingredient disclosure from the manufacturer before purchase.

What does a PSS of 6.7/10 (Grade B) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) Grade B indicates moderate safety standing—the product meets baseline safety expectations but is not rated as low-risk. This grade suggests the fragrance is suitable for general consumer use when used as directed, though it is not the highest safety classification available.
