Why This Score

Ethylene Brassylate (40%) has an excellent safety rating (ISS 10.0/10) and forms the primary fragrance base, supporting the product's Grade A PSS score.
Phenethyl Alcohol (7.5%) and Dimethylcyclohexylethoxy Isobutylpropanoate (7.5%) are established fragrance components with strong safety profiles in eau de parfum concentrations.
Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (30%) carries a moderate ISS score of 6.5/10; while approved for fragrance use, sensitive individuals should 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 The Noir 29 safe for daily use?+

The Noir 29 has a Grade A safety rating suitable for regular fragrance use. However, as with all eau de parfums, apply to pulse points rather than directly onto sensitive skin, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Those with fragrance sensitivities should perform a patch test on inner wrist or behind the ear first.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes comprises 30% of the formula and has a moderate safety score (6.5/10). While approved for cosmetic fragrance use, individuals with sensitive skin, contact dermatitis, or fragrance allergies should be cautious. All other major ingredients carry strong safety ratings (6.0–10.0).

What does a PSS of 8.3/10 (Grade A) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) measures overall safety based on ingredient composition, concentration, and established toxicology data. A Grade A rating at 8.3/10 indicates The Noir 29 meets high safety standards for fragrance products. This does not eliminate individual sensitivity risks; always follow usage instructions and perform patch tests if prone to fragrance reactions.
