Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nutmeg & Ginger safe for daily use?+

The Grade B PSS score suggests this product is generally safe for regular use by most consumers. However, daily use of any fragrance at the concentration levels in this EDP may cause irritation in people with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. It is recommended to monitor your skin's response over the first week of use and discontinue if irritation develops.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

D-LIMONENE is a known skin sensitizer in some individuals and may cause contact dermatitis with prolonged exposure or on damaged skin. The highest-concentration ingredient, 1-methyl-4-prop-1-en-2-ylcyclohexene (15.0%), carries a moderate safety score. If you have a history of fragrance sensitivity or citrus allergies, patch test before applying to larger skin areas.

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

The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.7/10 with a Grade B rating indicates this fragrance carries a moderate safety profile—suitable for most consumers but not in the highest safety tier. This score reflects the combined safety data of all ingredients and their concentrations. Grade B products are generally acceptable for use but may carry a slightly elevated risk for sensitive populations compared to Grade A products.
