Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pomegranate Noir Cologne safe for daily use?+
The PSS Grade B rating suggests it is generally safe for regular use by most consumers. However, eau de parfum formulations are concentrated fragrances (typically 15–20% fragrance oils), so daily application should follow standard practices: apply to pulse points in moderation and avoid direct contact with eyes or broken skin. Those with fragrance sensitivities or reactive skin should conduct a 24-hour patch test on a small area first.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The formula contains two components with Moderate safety grades: an ethanone compound (25.0%) and a cyclohexanone derivative (3.8%). While these are permitted fragrance components, individuals prone to headaches, respiratory sensitivity, or dermatological reactions to fragrances may find them irritating. If you have known fragrance sensitivities, review the full ingredient list with a dermatologist before use.
What does a PSS of 6.6/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent third-party assessment of fragrance safety. A Grade B at 6.6/10 indicates the product meets acceptable safety standards for consumer use but is not in the highest safety tier. It reflects a balanced profile: some premium-grade ingredients are present, but the formula also includes moderate-rated components that warrant awareness by sensitive users.
